> [@A\_Spoonful\_of\_Awesome](#): > > Nope, not that. To make it way too easy, it’s also the name of a movie. Super Trooper. Oh, and the only thing I could think of for late flight was “redeye” as well. But I couldn’t think of a word that rhymes with it. (And apparently it can be one word, one hyphenated word or two words depending on who’s writing it.) ---

Isn’t a redeye an _early_ flight? Closest I came was _held-up holdup man_, and that ain’t very close. ---

> [@pravnik](#): > > Hinky pinky: criminal crustacean. Lobster Mobster (there was a **Doper** named [**lobstermobster**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php)). I now see this one has been solved, but I thought the board history tidbit might be of interest. For “a hoodlum flying late”, I thought of “redeye deadeye”, although a deadeye may use his shooting expertise for good, evil, or neutral purposes. Hinkey-pinkey: Unchanging garret. ---

Dalmatian plantation (“nation” doesn’t have enough syllables, plus “grown” suggests something specifically related to crops). [Quote=Paintcharge] Hink-pink. Odor where you get water.
