telenovela banished

Where all ties are dramatically, definitively and even threateningly cut, leaving the receiving party not only with no hope of reversal or reconciliation, but causing them to question their most basic beliefs about the closeness of the former relationship and their own sense of reality within it.

Often neatly reconciled by audacious deus ex machina.
M: "Hey, is it cool if we talk when you get back from Mexico?"
L: "I guess so...after all, I haven’t telenovela banished you yet"

luxury ghetto

This term is used to describe places along the lines of unethical safaris in Kenya, certain all-inclusive resorts in India, and fortress-like compounds in areas like Cape Town, etc, which are built directly in the center of impoverished and economically destitute geographic areas. Luxury ghettos are blood-sucking establishments that exist solely for the daillances of the wealthy, while the surrounding land receives little to no economic benefit.
“It’s very important to connect to the community and not to just have luxury ghettos” -- Praveen Moman

sniff the nest

A phrase describing when a guy is low-key hitting on a girl. Causally testing the waters to get a feel for the odds of him eventually getting some tail. In this context, 'nest' refers to the female crotch, around which he's sniffing.
Guy: 'Why is your phone buzzing today constantly? Who's texting you?'
Girl: 'This dude I met who offered to teach me how to weld.'
Guy: 'Weld? That's weird. He's probably also trying to sniff the nest'
Girl: 'Yeah, probs

failing asleep

This term describes the nightly experience of those unfortunate schmucks who just absolutely cannot fucking fall asleep, no matter how much thrashing around in bed they do or how much ruminating over past mistakes they indulge in. Instead of falling asleep, an insomniac is simply failing asleep.
Alice: "Wow, you look like hell"
Bob: "<mumble> last night I was failing asleep and couldn't stop thinking about some shit from middle school when I got my bike stolen"

Starbucks Justice Warrior

A variation on the classic SJW. this version is usually female, blonde, cis normative, a trust fund baby, and clearly going through a shitty "I'm an activist" stage.
Conv between two Starbucks Justice Warriors:
Lisa: "OMG let's go vandalize that sexist billboard that had the girl in the bikini on it!"
Tina: "You mean that billboard that was a bikini ad?"
Lisa: "Yes! That one! First, let's pick up some pumpkin spice lattes, okay?"
Tina: "Yaasssss!!"

coin box

A nickname reserved for any woman who's been pounded more times than a coin box on Super Mario. Works best if the female doesn't know the true meaning and thinks it's an odd, but maybe sorta sweet nickname.
"Hey coin box! What you doin' tonite?"
