The members of the Rat Pack (including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr.) had their own lingo. Among their favorite terms and expressions were “the Big Casino” for death, “Dullsville, Ohio” for anything boring, “a little hey-hey” for a good time or a sexual interaction, and “Clyde” for a geek or loser.
