entertainment medicine

The specialty of doctors who manage the unusual conditions brought on by fame. Entertainment doctors are known for knowing exactly how much morphine to prescribe for a broken nail.

Anna Nicole's doctor specialized in entertainment medicine. I wonder if my insurance covers that?

whackabiscuit

Premade, refrigerated biscuit dough in a cardboard can. So called because if you unwrap the can, you sometimes have to whack the side of it on the counter for it to open. Pricewise, at ~$2 for a 4-pack, they're the bread equivalent of instant ramen.

You aren't seriously thinking you're going to impress her with Prego and whackabiscuits, are you? Would you at least make one thing that doesn't come out of a can?

str8

As applied to a guy, refers to a man in denial about the fact that however much he likes pussy and the female form in general, he also likes a heapin' helping of the man meat from time to time. However, he will swear up and down that he is absolutely not bi in any way, shape or form, even as he goes to suck your dick with the finesse of a $1000/hour call girl. Poor bastard.

Seen on craigslist: I'm str8. You know what that means, right? Means I only sleep with other str8 guys.

reboot

1. To restart a computer when it's acting like a little bitch. Common on old Mac and Windows systems, not so common on old Linux boxes, rare on modern computers.

2. To restart a movie, comic, TV, or book franchise in hopes that it won't jump the shark again. Sometimes works spectacularly (Battlestar Galactica). Sometimes falls flat on its face.

1. "If there's an error, we have this routine called panic, and when it is called, the machine crashes, and you holler down the hall, 'Hey, reboot it.'" --Dennis Ritchie

2. I was contemplating the idea of a Knight Rider reboot the other day. Would be interesting, definitely, but would it really be Knight Rider without the Hoff?

ladies who lunch

Rich middle-aged women with no jobs or other meaningful way to occupy their time, who descend on upscale cafes around lunchtime to hang out with each other more because they have nothing better to do than because they like the company. Generally despised by cafe workers.

I don't know why Ina Garten has this "ladies who lunch" persona -- you know she busts her ass when she goes to work.

take the pipe

Committing suicide, Irish-style.

Seamus took the pipe... apparently he was sick of the rain.

capri pants

Short pants that end just below the knee (once known as knickers before the British definition took over). Though formerly unisex, capris are now primarily female in association, and tend to look best on tall, big-boned white girls who are unusually bootylicious. Which is not to say other women can't wear them; it's just that particular lot who pull them off the best because designers tend not to otherwise cater to their body types.

You know, truth be told, up until about fifteen minutes I wouldn't have give her a second look, but damn, she's a Woman Who Looks Good In Capri Pants.
