It's a complete goat rope.

[QUOTE=redtail23]
When I was a tyke, an eon or so ago, a “goat-roper” was someone considered a hick even by the residents of a small, rural town. It also applied to certain types of cowboy boots, but I was never sure just what made a pair of boots “goat-ropers”. It may have been along the line of “shit-kickers”, but then I was never quite sure just what those were either. (My boot education was sadly lacking.)

And I, too, am still waiting for the exact definition of Alabama Dick Dance. Nuances, people, nuances are important!

I have never heard of the Alabama variety. A regular ol’ dick dance can best be described when compared to a clusterfuck. A clusterfuck occurs when the situation is all fucked up because everyone is running around in a disorganized fashion (or the orders were unclear). During a dick dance things are fucked up because everyone is doing nothing. Basically the same as “Stop standing around playing with yourself and do your fucking job!”
