A particular variety of tool who holds or seeks positions of power just for the sake of holding power itself, frequently found in politics and corporate upper management or executive positions.
The more I hear about that guy running for Senate, the more he looks like a power tool who's only in it for status and influence.

Our new metaboss is such a power tool; I hope he keeps climbing the ladder just so we won't have to deal with him for long.

The male counterpart of lingerie, any article of men's underwear or loungewear which is somehow fancier or deliberately sexier than strictly necessary for basic, utilitarian undergarments.
I was surprised by just how much the ladies seem to love my mangerie, like that sheer-pouched thong, this silk robe, and especially my French-back yoke-front drawers, which are the only skivvies I've ever had literally ripped from my body by an exceedingly aroused woman -- which in retrospect was well worth the $25 it cost me to replace them!

UK regional slang for the pubic region, usually referring to the vulva in particular and more specifically a woman's pubic mound with untrimmed, usually dark-coloured, pubic hair -- aka bush, muff or pubes (now you know what Lemmy was really going on about in that famous Motorhead song!).

May also occasionally be used more loosely in refernce to the comparable anatomy on men as well.
She whipped her knickers off and dealt me her Ace of Spades.

She's got some Ace of Spades goin' on; she don't shave or trim or nothin'!

My gal don't like my Ace of Spades, wants me to trim the shrubbery back a bit.

I wonder if Ginger Spice has a red Ace of Spades to match, or if she's just a bottle red?

The converse of an anti-hero (i.e., a protagonist who isn't purely good or heroic), an anti-villain is an antagonist who isn't purely evil nor entirely unsympathetic -- a character who doesn't seem to deserve being cast as the villain, perhaps cast arbitrarily as the villain because they are not the focus of the story but merely present a foil to the central figure, who may be an antihero protagonist. Cf. scapegoat.
Magneto was an anti-villain because, while the X-Men were the protagonists who fought to defeat him and prevailed in the end, we can still respect and appreciate him for his motives and principles, however ill-considered his ruthless methods.

Unlike a confirmed bachelor who will never marry for whatever reason, an 'unconfirmed bachelor' is an older man who wants to marry and has long been seeking a female mate yet remained unsuccessful in that quest thus far.

Whereas being unmarried is not unusual for a man of a younger age, an unmarried man of a certain age may raise questions as to why he remains a bachelor, so calling him an 'unconfirmed bachelor' indicates he's not gay nor opposed to marriage, just unsuccessful thus far at finding a suitable mate.
Charlie Brown never talked to that Red Haired Girl and never found another that could hold a candle to her, so he grew old and died an unconfirmed bachelor.

That old dude? He's not divorced; I don't think he ever married. No, he's not gay, just an unconfirmed bachelor.

The negative of a "ta-da!" but with all the same self-impressed enthusiasm, for sleights of hand or mind which slyly accomplish nothing of the sort they seemed to at first -- i.e., a "ta-da!" combined with a "naaah."
From Reddit.com (7gwbw):

voltron013: From Hawaii you can see China.
7oby: but Japan is in the way?
GeoAtreides: No, Japan is hidden by earth's curvature, so he can see China. Ta-na!
