a piece of luggage on a plane is to register it so that it can be transported under the plane. Hey pal, if it ain’t fitting through the frame, you ain’t carrying it on the plane. "Pal" is a slang word for friend, but as here, it is often used as a way of addressing anybody. "Ain’t" is a very slangy and incorrect way of saying "isn’t" or another conjugation of ‘to be.’ It’s best to avoid it. 531. New York. La Guardia. The name of a major airport that serves New York City. You lost my bag, and there’s a two-carat diamond ring inside it.

A "short stack" of pancakes is two, as opposed to three or more. Another silly nickname. If something is "coming up" in a restaurant, it is about to be served. We were going to get a midsize, but I figure, hey, we pull down decent bucks.Might as well go all out and pop for the full-size. A "midsize" is a medium sized car, whereas a "full-size" is big car. "To pull down decent bucks" is a very slangy way of saying to make a lot of money (bucks are dollars).
