Righteous jive for all you weedheads, moochers, b-girls, gassers, bandrats, triggermen, grifters, snowbirds, and long-gone daddies.

Much of the slang popularly associated with the hippie generation of the 1960s actually dates back to before World War II, hijacked in the main from jazz and blues street expressions, mostly relating to drugs, sex, and drinking. Why talk when you can beat your chops, why eat when you can line your flue, and why snore when you can call some hogs? You're not drunk-you're just plumb full of stagger juice, and your skin isn't pasty, it's just caf? sunburn. Need a black coffee? That's a shot of java, nix on the moo juice.

Containing thousands of examples of hipster slang drawn from pulp novels, classic noir and exploitation films, blues, country, and rock 'n' roll lyrics, and other related sources from the 1920s to the 1960s, Straight from the Fridge, Dad is the perfect guide for all hep cats and kittens. Think of it as a sort of Thirty Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary for the beret-wearing, bongo-banging set. Solid, Jackson.

Awesome Spice Rack!
Size: 2 Tier-13.5''Wx10.5''Dx9.5''H
This works perfectly. I bought two as I have a lot of spices. Do need to remember that the height needed for unit is 9 inches, but with full size spice jars on top rack, you need at least 11 inches. Otherwise it works great. Smooth movement of the drawers. Very sturdy and stable.

A good value, works well.
Size: 1 Tier-8.5''Wx10.5''Dx2.5''H, Size: 1 Tier-8.5''Wx10.5''Dx2.5''H
It works great, and a good value for the price. Super easy to install, comes with a template (you probably wont need), screws and a screw driver. Easy peasy It will not affect the performance, but it is a little flimsy. Great service and price. Quality packaged as well.

Great quality product
Size: 2 Tier-5.5''Wx10.5''Dx9.5''H
The product quality is great. Assembly is needed but relatively easy. The moving shelves have a premium slide and catch at the end. I was impressed by this the most. The only potential small issue were the inside protectors it came with. Not that they're poor quality, they have a decent thickness. But during assembly they kept falling out easily because there wasn't enough catch on the shelf itself. In actual stationary use, this may not be an issue. But would have been better if the shelf held onto them more. You may not notice it when you put things on the shelf on top if it but they're also not a great color/texture match. Semi-opaque white plastic on a black metal rack; it cheapens the product. And in case you were wondering, magnets can stick to it. Overall though, I am pleased with the quality of this product.
