To resolve Google's penalty
against this site (still active after 437 days)
I've been forced to censor all 5,300 citations of slang use.
With the penalty in place, there's just no way to compete on a level playing field
with dictionaries that don't have citations. Guys: I'm sorry.

notes
- The "Pour out ... " refers to a custom of winos whereby they pour out what's in the neck of the bottle for those that have died and can no longer drink with their buddies. An homage, of sorts.
Pour out some forty for the homie.
