      Unfortunately, it is true in this Godless spit-hole that we have created. Money. Greed. Total lack of firm and hard rules.

      The property is in a small area called Buzzard Gap...about 5 miles out of Wilburton, OK. It's a little spithole in the middle of nowhere. If you're familiar with Robber's Cave Park, the property is about 10 miles south of there.
  2. (slang) One's mouth.

      You can look at Vick and just know he doesn't an IQ much above the low dual digits. And once he opens that ignorant spithole of his - well all doubt is removed.
