quite simply, any prison where inmates serve their sentences with "hard labor". It's a reference to "breaking rocks in the hot sun" as described in "I Fought the Law (And the Law Won)" by the Bobby Fuller Four or the Clash, depending on what generation you belong to.
David Do-No-Good got sentenced to 12 years at a pebble factory (along with other things) because he sexually molested his very young daughter. It's unbelievable why anyone would do such a horrible thing like that.

The word "racino" is one of many "combo" words that enter the English language over time as new developments in society and technology occur. A racino is basically a racetrack where can place bets on the racing event but also has a casino that has slot machines and maybe more games such as BlackJack, poker, craps, keno, Wheel of Fortune (that's where a giant wheel is spun by a lovely lady and you bet on which section the arrow will point at. You see this game in the Old Wild Western flicks, this game has nothing to do with that Vanna White TV show), roulette (not Russian) and such.
1. I've played in many casinos in Nevada as well as some run by Native Americans like the Chippewa. However the first racino I've ever played in was Wheeling Downs, West Virginia. I've played the slots and bet on greyhound races there. You got the slots and there's dog races held there so Wheeling Downs is a racino.
2. In central Ohio the horse racing arena Scioto Downs has been running for years. Now it recently has had electronic slot machines (and maybe more games) installed so Scioto Downs now promotes itself in the ads as a racino.
3. Wheeling is in the tip or "panhandle" of West Virginia. If you're heading to Wheeling Downs (or just passing thru the WV tip) from Ohio or Pennsylvania be eXtra careful. There's a speed trap there and vehicles get pulled over and they line up both sides of the highway. Speeding ticket fines are steep. You've been warned.

A rock band of Black Americans popular in the late 80s - mid 90s. They played a fusion of heavy metal and funk, tho they also experimented with other styles and genres, too. Living Colour wrote mature, intelligent lyrics to their songs. I saw them on David Letterman in the end of the 80s and they were stunning to the max. They were playing "Which Way to Your America?". The singer Corey Glover(who'd make a fine gospel singer) was screaming out the words like his life depended on it. Guitarist Vernon Reid ranks with the Edge, Jimi Hendrix and other guitar heroes. Bassist Muzz Skillings and drummer Will Calhoun churned out the rhythm. It was trandescent and the band got a big time standing o. In the 90s Muzz was replaced by Doug Wimbish. Living Colour broke down racial barriers in FM rock radio. They disbanded in 1995.
I saw Living Colour live in early 1991. They were magnificent. They rocked down the house. The opening act, Urban Dance Squad, got us primed up.
Eeeeeeeeyo! What's your favorite color, baby?

in the U.S. Navy a phrase used to express mock sympathy, basically meaning "too bad" or "poor baby" (in a sarcastic way). Also known as "wah-fucking-wah".
George: Can I borrow some money for lunch today? Over the weekend I got blitzed and bought sex with a skank. Now I got no cash to pay off my credit card bill.
Joey: Wah!

someone who has never served in the military, but who rah-rahs a war when it is broadcast on TV from his armchair while swilling beer. He thinks it is all a game to watch and he buys items (like T-shirts) that celebrate the war and are sold by oily corporate yuppies who want to make a few bucks off a national wave of "patriotism". Armchair warriors call that "supporting the troops" but do not think at all about the dangers inherant in war and do not want to lift a finger to help returning veterans get rehabilitation or treatment for their disabilities. They just want to see the modern day TV gladiators "kick some ass" for their amusement. They are SMFs.
Senator Bonehead voted for the war. He never served in the Armed Forces, he claimed that all the "minorities" and "little people" were doing the job for him. Every night he goes home and watches the news to see how many enmy combatants are killed. He cheers the U.S. forces on for "kicking ass" while chugging down his beer. He is a prime example of an armchair warrior.
