Purgatory

A teenage girl's idea of a living hell.

Teenage girl- Don't touch me ever! I'll make your life a living hell!

Girl's father- Get the fuck out of here you little shit! Your purgatory isn't hell for anybody, hell is what I made my son's life when he was a little shit, while I don't do anything with you for being a little shit! No wonder you think you're making people's lives hell.

Compromise

Something people often do because they think there is no other option.

People are conditioned to compromise, and they can be unconditioned.

Cracker

There's a lot of black kids who call all white people crackers based on skin color. There are a lot of different groups of white people, just like there are different ethnic groups of brown skinned folks. Black people were fighting some groups for jobs in the cities. Polish people weren't cracking whips back in those days, Irish and Germans didn't come home from work to a house full of slaves. Italians and Russians weren't likely to keep slaves to increase mob productivity. Since when were all white people crackers even in the south? Many couldn't afford to keep slaves, and there were black soldiers in the confederate army. Calling any white person you see a cracker isn't opening doors to a more tolerant world, where did this bullshit come from?

Hollering cracker at some white guy walking while you're with your three friends as you floor it down the road isn't gonna make the past any more wonderful over some shit that was between you and a family who owned a plantation. You can get out of your car and let some guy know how you feel if there really is something you don't like about him.

Too rough to be true

Outroughing other people beyond any other level of roughness, unbelievably rough.

Dude, your little brother/sister is too rough to be true. I don't know who he/she is trying to be now, but it certainly isnt who he/she was growing up.

Gwinnett

Gwinnett County is not Atlanta. It's not far, and depending on traffic, the trip isn't too long, but it's not in Atlanta, it's not the same neighborhood. Memphis, TN is certainly not Atlanta. So nobody from Memphis or Gwinnett county would say they were an Atlanta native because it would be false. Most people from Memphis or Gwinnett would say they were from Memphis or Gwinnett, and they would be happy enough with where they were from and who they were that they wouldn't feel a need to say they were an Atlanta native.

A poser is someone who is not who they say they are, and most people don't want to be known as a poser, so they tell people where they're really from when someone asks, since it's hard to trust somebody who would think of lying about something as seemingly harmless as where you were from or what your favorite color was as something everybody does all the time. Most people don't look to benefit from saying their favorite color or where they are from or who they are is something different than what it really is. Gwinnett is different than Atlanta, just like green is different than blue. People who want/choose to live in Gwinnett have their reasons, just like people who want/choose to live in Atlanta have theirs, but to try and say you live in Atlanta when you live in Gwinnett to gain something is no good. It would be like a business based in Atlanta having a Gwinnett address that didn't exist while people were sending money there, thinking it was a legitimate business.

Poser

Someone who represents something they're not in everyday life.

1) George W Bush is a poser, he's from Connecticut and poses as a Texas boy.

2) The midget behind the counter calling the soccer dad a suburban geek was from suburban Philly himself, which made him both a poser and a hypocrite. He was one of the hypocrites who thought everybody wasn't a hypocrite, especially himself.

Mailbox

It's unwise to practice or do something like a mailbox on somebody you're not on good terms with. Not everybody is playing like you are, know that before attempting stupidity.

Turns out the guy they thought was the new guy was not looking to get in on any games they were playing, including mailbox, or get accepted as one of them. He had had many other people in his younger years who thought he was somebody to fool around with, including a mollycoddle at home .
