Belly-Rubbin’ Music: Slow-dance songs

Dingus: Dumbass

Chislic: Little chunks of beef or goat meat that are battered and fried or grilled

Honky-Tonk Buh-Donka-Donk: A country girl with a nice butt

Trailer House: A mobile home set on a permanent foundation

Loyal To The Green: A farmer who only uses John Deere tractors

Dilla: An armadillo

Walking Taco: The Most Brilliant Invention Ever. Take a small bag of Doritos, smash the chips up a little bit, then throw in taco meat, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and lettuce. Then fold the top over, shake the bag, and boom! Eat out of the bag with a fork as you walk down the street! How great is that?! Many thanks to Denny and Penney for turning me onto these!

BIAP: Baghdad International Airport
