You fasten the triggers
For others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in mud. -Bob Dylan

1885: "[one of the] "fly" names our customers bestow upon things"
ALT But when an order was given for a "pig's head and a dog" the reporter almost fainted. Was it possible that dogs were really eaten in New York city in a public restaurant? The scribe called one of the attendants to one side and inquired. "We mean two sausages," explained the waiter. "Those are just "fly" names our customers bestow upon things." So we got in the habit of saying dog for sausage. It's shorter, you know. We have our regular customers, and as they don't mind what we call the 'grub' of course we don't. A 'sweeze' is a cup of coffee. --Sunday News, 6 Sep 1885

It may be the end of the road
& Twitter as such may implode—
Often likened to hell
Full of garbage as well
& for many, our truest abode
