Get the synecdochemug. The several minutes of incessant sniffing that a cocaine user experiences after insufflating a line. So-called because cocaine is seen in the public eye as a largely Colombian export, and because of sniffling's association with the flu.

Get the Colombian Flumug. A conflict in which two parties (ususally male) are vehemently disputing something of limited relevance. Generally, both parties are somewhat wrong, but each refuses to be back down for fear of being thought the have the smaller of their two penises. Similar to a pissing match, but generally, the conflict involved involves a larger element of machismo, and continues on only because neither side wants to be seen as the one who backs down.
