A fork of Rural Dictionary
A gigantic cluster fuck... but not in a military sense. A huge fuck-up of epic proportions of some sort or another and its ensuing calamity. As in, the person or normal situation you were supposed to be a part of is now so totally screwed up as to turn the entire scenario into a farce; or something that could end up in you going to either jail or losing your profession.
Holy shit... I went into the office today, and I was fully unprepared for the ensuing shitstorm. This client was so fucked up, I couldn't believe that I was actually part of this human tragedy. I think I will give up finance and take up digging ditches.
A Black African American person who, because he/she has the desire to make a success of their life, has gained the wrath of foolish Black African Americans who have decided to make a shambles of their own. Often OREO's are educated, intelligent, and the respect of the business community. Thus, in the eyes of the dominant Black African American community, they are "guilty" of being "White" on the inside.

Any chronically debilitated patient, (usually not able to communicate due to stroke or coma) admitted to the hospital that has little or no hope for recovery. They are literally sent there so that family members can presume to live without "the guilt" of letting their loved one die with the least bit of human dignity. As a result, these poor souls die a slow, pitiful death, out of sight from their family because their family doesn't have the seeds to "pull the plug". Literally: Get Outta My E. R.
Aunt Hazel is a gomer over at St. Vincents... her family would rather let her rot slowly in the hospital than let her die with dignity.
As far as is known, the term was coined by (or at least first published by) political satirist and humorist PJ O'Rourke as an essay and later published in his book, Holidays in Hell regarding the Lefty-loving, hacky-sack playing dirtballs who mourned the Sandinista's (FSLN, led by Daniel Ortega) death as a political power in Nicaragua. The Sandalista can be described as any number of unwashed, unshaven, greasy, long-haired psuedo-hippies who spent their time lamenting the passing of Che Guevara, Paul Wellstone and most specifically, the death of Communism in Nicaragua. Their honorary political figurehead is now Jimmy Carter. They are no longer welcomed by the decent people of Nicaragua, so they came back to the United States to torment and pester the public here. Sandalistas put no effort whatsoever into making themselves presentable to the public at large, nor any effort into obtaining job skills that would make them the least bit employable. They can be identified by sandal-clad unwashed feet, unshaven pits and legs (females), scabs, foul breath, unshaven faces (male and female) and wild, matted, uncombed hair. Their stench announces their approach. Puka shells and love-beads are their choice of tribal adornment. Females typically wear long batik skirts (to identify them as female, allegedly) to hide the bug bites on their legs, and wear no make-up. Males may or may not wear black make-up around their eyes. Many are pierced all over their bodies and head, and most have some sort of tribal tattoo. In all, it is a failed attempt to appear the peasantry they want you to think they represent. Their politics are always Leftist. The only species of humanoid more vile smelling than the Sandalista is the feces-encrusted drunken wino and the elusive Skunk-Ape of the Florida Everglades. Though the Skunk-Ape has better personal hygiene.
Jesus H! Look at that filthy, stinking dirtball handing out flyers on the corner! Is that stench coming from HIM? Damn, I wish them Sandalistas would get a bath and a job. Let's get the hell out of here before his fleas jump on to us!
A honeywagon is a manure spreader. The wheels are mechanically attached to a mechanism that has tines upon an axel that throw clumps of manure into a barren field. Thats it. Nothing more than poop being thrown out of the back of a wagon.
I went to my uncles farm in Eyota. He had an old honeywagon sitting in the side yard. Oh boy. Did that ever stink. No amount of varnish could ever disguise what that piece of machinery was made for... I hope some city slicker comes along and thinks its some sort of collectable... and puts it in the city center of Rochester.
US military term; short for pollywog (tadpole), or a rookie. Refering to US Navy enlistee or officer who has never been aboardship as it has crossed the equator. A ceremony (akin to a hazing) takes place where the captain of the ship relinquishes command to "King Poseidan" (Neptune) and the wogs undergo ritualistic torment (usually garbage and food dumped on them) and emerge on the otherside of the equator as Shellbacks... and now seasoned Navy men.
I was a wog for the first six months of my tour until we sailed of Perth and I gained my shellback.
