al-in-chgo's definitions
Term adopted by fans of CBS-TV's police-procedural drama, THE MENTALIST. Came from a typically offhanded slighting remark by title character Patrick Jane (Simon Baker). Refers to the kind of just-barely-dressy beachcomber-type sandals often worn by Teresa Lisbon, co-star (Robin Tunney).

"My firm is very conservative and frowns slightly on Lisbon Loafers, even in the summer. Actually, policy is kind of hypocritical because no one minds secretaries in them, but nonetheless it's a big turn-off to HR when a women interviews in them. Unfair, no?"

Get the shaboinkingmug. Smarm was the name given to a particularly heavy and cloying hair grease worn by Indian men in the nineteenth century.
Thus a "smarmy" person is cloying, over-ingratiating, oleaginous ("oily"), close, and over-familiar.

"Who was that man who pretended to know you so well?"
"Oh, Kenneth. Ignore him. He confuses charm with smarm."

Get the Smarmmug. Means achieved orgasm, reached orgasm, climaxed sexually. To use "came" or "cummed" for an orgasm in the past tense? People actually get into arguments about this.
1. One argument is that since "cum" is pronounced same as "come" it's only natural to use the past tense of "came".
2. OTOH: A sportscaster would not say, "The batter flew out to left field." If the batter hit a pop fly, the sportscaster would say, "The batter flied out to left field." "Flew" in this case is absurd (except for a Red Bull commercial!). So by analogy "cummed" is acceptable.
In this writer's opinion, either "came" or "cummed" is acceptable. If you want an alternative that doesn't sound like a sexologist uttered it, there's always climax/climaxed. "I just orgasm'ed" is possible, too, if a bit stilted.
This is truly a case that argues for liberality of usage among even the most conservative speakers of American English. You do yourself and the language harm to over-scruple, and your sex life might suffer, too!

Get the cummedmug. Abbreviation for "Guilty Mom Syndrome," a wonderfully flexible term which refers to the syndrome of mothers of young children feeling guilty about their inadequacies and trying to blame the world, but also to onlookers who wonder if that guilt would not be better addressed if the mothers would take responsibility for their own unhappiness.

Get the GMSmug. from car TRUNK + trick OR TREAT. A style of Halloween trick or treating where children solicit candy and other goodies not from households but from car trunks in an entertainment style similar to tailgating. Trunk or treating has its origins in late 1990s Utah but has since spread to some other locales, generally small towns or suburbs in the Midwest and South. To host a trunk-or-treat event, a sponsoring entity (usually a local church) will offer its parking lot on Halloween afternoon and evening. Participants agree to bring their cars and stock the trunks with candy. A growing custom, there are now websites devoted to explaining the ritual and offering tips for decorating car trunks in Halloween themes.
"Jimmy won't be home 'til almost dark. He's going to trunk or treat with friends."
"Do you mean trick or treat?"
"No, trunk or treat. The kids go to church parking lots and get their candy from the parents' car trunks."
"The younger generation has it too easy, if you ask me."
