"A" Game (aka "your A Game") - For Guys: look your best, wear your best and bring your best pick-up lines. For Ladies: look your best, show some skin and
wear something tight.
AC - What Philly people call Atlantic City, NJ 08401. It's about 50 miles east of Philly. AC is the only city in Jersey where gambling is legal. There are currently 11 casinos in the Atlantic City area.
The
Sands is the P-town "old School" choice for gambling. And please don't roll to AC wearing jeans/shorts - put on some nice pants or a dress/skirt. Just think how ridiculous you will look when you win the $1 Million Jackpot and you look like you just walked in off the beach?
Beautiful Baby - *slang* expression for a woman, preferably a beautiful woman. Origin in the movie Swingers.
BFD - Big F*cking Deal; in other words: "Who cares?" Spoken most often buy longtime Dog compadre, Johnny "Captain Cabaneuse." Johnny also boasts of winning a certificate for "Most
Inventive Use of The Finger."
the Bomb - all that and a bag of chips; see also "money"
Butter - *slang* expression for beer. Ancient origins in a Frat Party Drinking game called Butter. Not much of a difference between the look of a pint of melted butter and a Coor's Light (not much
of a difference in taste either).
Butter Face - as used in the following situation: "That girl's got a Butter Face - everything about her is kickin' "but her face." Submitted by P-town associate, Lurch.
CC - Center City. Fox's
The OC has
nothing on Philly!
Craic - Irish word/expression/experience. American equivalent is a ball-busting session seasoned with good stories, good friends and good brew. Any participant bursting into a spontaneous song is
also a possibility.
DOT or DOT Situation - Dancing On the Tables - Often occurring in SRO environments, exclusively a female action; sometimes as rare as a Sasquatch sighting, but more
enjoyable.
Facilities - see terlet below
Fade-Away - or aka the relationship fade-away is when one person just stop calling the other person in the relationship. Rather than face the music and tell the person "You suck" or
"You smell" or "Wow, now I know what they gave you the nickname The Dog, you ugly bastard" or even "I'm busy the next millennium - all booked up" - the fader-awayer simply ends all communication. When you're
on the receiving end of the fade-away, you're left to assume that the other person either died, was offended by something you said on the last date, thinks you waited too long to call or was abducted by aliens.

G&T - alcoholic drink contents of which are Gin and Tonic.

Hoopty - from urbandictionary.com: "An
enormous boat of a vehicle usually sported by ghetto queens or hick
adolescents. Almost always appears in lime or puke green, although bondo
is my favorite look. The lack of power steering makes this dinosaur turn
like a son of a gun! When seen in ghetto queen fashion, add 8-12 kids
piled in every square foot of this gentle giant. Known for incredibly loud
mufflers... if any. EXAMPLES: "Is big momma back from da' store with my
hoopty?" "Nice hoopty... Josh"
Indie Crowd - people who enjoy music created by undiscovered bands who are on independent labels. Crowd often dressed in flannel (even in summertime), horn rimmed glasses and wearing t-shirts of
bands/movies/detergents that have a cult following (ie A Clockwork Orange; The Misfits, Clorox, The Shining).
Jabba
the Hut Face - When someone is so hot, you involuntarily
stare at that person and lick your lips in a circular manner, much
like the "Jabba the Hut" character in the movie Return
of the Jedi. If you're caught staring & licking, you'll
probably be on the receiving end of a middle finger.
libation (also Libacious) - alcoholic beverage and/or pertaining to such.
liquorati
- people boozing it up at the bar. If you're not a quick learn, that's
ok, I'll type slow and tell you how we came up with this word. Along the
lines of the words glitterati, literati and, of course, liquor.
Glitterati means "Highly fashionable celebrities; the smart
set" & literati which means "the literary
intelligentsia." Ergo liquorati - smart and sometimes
fashionable drinkers.

inebriated.
rodgering - British slang expression for the old "slap and tickle."
Shaqued - "shot down" by a girl. Coined from the defensive stylings of famous
LA Laker and movie star Shaquille O'Neal (he starred in the movies Steel
and Kazaam! - yeah try to say that and not laugh)
shlock - crap
; often what those other inferior-hoity-toity websites give you.
See www.philly2nite.com, www.phillyatnight.com
and www.digitalcity.com for
examples. These site suck because they only portray the positives of what
a particular bar/club/pub actually is. They are the antithesis of
objective! What a bunch of Homers.
shtick - gimmick. A characteristic
attribute, talent, or trait that is helpful in securing recognition or
attention.
skirts - slang for women
Sprockets - comedy skit on Saturday Night Live where Mike Myers (the actor) portrays a fictitious host of an East German Talk show called Sprockets. He is wearing black pants and a black turtleneck.
His famous line occurs when he brings out a live monkey and asks his guests: "Do you want to touch my monkey? TOUCH IT!"
SRO - Standing Room Only - occurs when all seats are taken at a bar. Good part about this situation is that it creates prime conditions for a spontaneous DOT situation.
stickle
- very tiny amount. A close relative to a "smidgen," but
not quite as much as a glob of "schmutz."
swag - mob term, stands for Stolen Without A Gun - examples of present day swag are freebies given away by radio stations or beer manufactures with their name plastered

talent - in regards to a bar/pub/dance club, the caliber of the opposite sex inhabiting the establishment during your visit: The talent is pretty piss-poor tonight; means This place is crawling
with so many uggo's that my manhood crawled back in me like a frightened turtle.
terlet - slang for toilet, shitter, pisser, you get the point.
upper-decker - taking a dump (aka
crap aka Number 2) in the "tank" portion of a toilet, thereby causing a
major malfunction of the bowl cleaning process. Why would one do such a
horrid thing? Well, this a question for the ages. But in most cases, a
party has gone horribly bad, the host/hostess is yelling at people for not
using coasters and someone just yelled "We're Outta Beer!" The drunk guy
(every party has one) gets pissed and leaves an upper-decker as a
personalized "Thanks for the Party and here's what I think of your
coasters!"
wanker - jerk, idiot
wingman - situation: two guys approach two women for conversation. The Pointman is the guy who initiates conversation. He wanted to make the journey over, the other guy, the
