de fellationibus non curat lex

A legal principle, translating from the Latin as, "the law does not concern itself with blowjobs", based on the more well known phrase, "de minimis non curat lex", which means, "the law does not concern itself with trifles." The principle holds that blowjobs aren't really sex, and therefore laws regulating sex should not apply, or at least not as strictly, to blowjobs. Although the principle of "de fellationibus non curat lex" is often credited with former U.S. President Bill Clinton's victory against impeachment, it should be noted that the principle is not universally accepted, and persons who intend to participate, either as the insertive or the receptive partner, in blowjobs should familiarize themselves with the particular laws of their jurisdiction.

Defense counsel: Your Honor, my client clearly cannot be charged under this statue; after all, de fellationibus non curat lex.

Judge: This court has no choice but to side with the defense. Case dismissed!

eight inches

An imprecise unit of length. When used by a man describing the length of his penis, it means somewhere between six-and-a-half and seven-and-a-half inches.

Rico said he had eight inches, but you'd have to be generous to say six-and-three-quarters.

Foppish

"Foppish" might mean "fruity" (or, better, "characteristic of a formal, effeminate man") but it speaks only to the outward behavior of someone, not to their orientation. David Hyde Pierce in most of his roles (incl. Frasier's brother in Frasier) is foppish, but he's not a homosexual (and neither is Frasier's brother).

dignitude

noun: the quality that appears the possessor as dignity but appears to others as foolishness. Originated in a 2000 Saturday Night Live skit in which Al Gore and George W. Bush are playing Scrabble, and Bush attempts to add the word "dignitude." Gore challenges him to use it in a sentence, and Bush replies, "George W. Bush is a man of great dignitude."

George W. Bush is a man of great dignitude.
