144. veepstakes
August 25, 2008 Urban Word of the Day
The process a candidate for president goes through to choose a running mate. It's a portmanteau word combining the colloquial pronunciation of VP as "veep" and sweepstakes.

The winner of the veepstakes is awarded the honor of being trashed in the media for the next 5 months.
A: Who should Obama pick for VP?
B: I sure hope Brian Schweitzer wins the veepstakes!
143. not having it
When someone is unwilling to accept the current or proposed state of affairs. Can also be used when someone doesn't believe you're telling them the truth.
Bush thought he'd slip Harriet Miers by on a nod and a wink, but the Busheviks weren't having it.

I told my mom I wasn't the one who put a dent in the car, but she was NOT having it and pressed me to give her the whole story.

n. A woman's vagina.
"Watch out, boys! Because thanks to Iron Hymen, my baby cave is better guarded than a maximum security prison – even one ringed with electrified razorwire and a crocodile-infested moat!"

141. tag and release
The term used to describe a sexually attractive (but underage) teenager. It derives from the practice of tagging wildlife. The understanding is that the stud is out of bounds at his current age, but that you'll be back to claim him when he's legal.

First defined in a Dan Savage column on 24 Nov 04.
#1: Damn, check out that hottie over there!
#2: Yeah, he's hott, but he's only 15.
#1: Tag and release that stud!

138. GrOwned
Interjection (derived from past participle of GrOwn).

Abbreviation for "Grammar Owned," a phrase adapted from the now popular term "Owned," which denotes the dominance of the listening (owned) person by the speaking person.
The interjection is triggered by some event which demonstrates one person's inferiority to another.
In this case, it refers to the grammatical superiority of the GrOwner, and is in response to a grammatical error committed by the GrOwned person.

Alternate spellings: Grpwned, Grpwn3d, GrOwn3d, Gr0wned, Gr0wn3d, Groaned.
Spelling and punctuation count as grammar too. You've just been GrOwned.
