ladies first

An unwritten rule that dictates that the wishes of a gir's or woman's female friends supercede that of the male.

Female #1: My boyfriend is a gangbanger and wants me to be Bonnie to his Clyde.
Female #2: I don't give a shit what the hell he wants! If you keep going with him, I'll have him taken care of, if you know what I mean. We're supposed to be friends to the end, and after all, the law is ladies first!

mouse trap

A cat, kitty, puddy, etc., that meows, purrs, and can be a pain in the ass sometimes.

Boots, my mouse trap, caught two mice within two hours of my bringing him home.

Why buy that spring contraption that only squashes your fingers when you can get a real mouse trap--Kitty?
