Urban Snow Fence

As noted by New York City Street Police: Taking place in winter, this beat cop coined phrase is metaphorical in meaning, yet actually functional of purpose if conditions right:

This stupid human trick requires a minimum of four unknowing participants and one sleepy-head street dealer of flake cocaine. The phenomena usually takes place on the third calender day of the month, which of course is welfare, disability and social security check arrival time. It is during a blowing snowstorm that four or more appropriately attired individuals wait for said drug dealer. They stand at a light post in an orderly first come first served line. This arrangement, in effect, duplicates the function of a rural snow collecting drift fence.
I didn't know it was the third of the month; would you look at the length of that urban snow fence!

Glittered and Twittered

If Alan Funt is Gay or coherent enough to know what Gay means, he would probably produce a "You're on Candid Camera" version of "Glittered and Twittered!"

This is a non-physical form of Straight Bashing.

Twittered is to have your name put on Twitter.com without your permission and in not very good light. Examples: An embarrassing situation, or caught with the proverbial "Hands in the Cookie Jar" while maybe..., eating them in the closet?

For the 'Glittered' aspect of this phrase, you must revert to this website's definition of "Glitter."
Alan Funt would say, "Smile, you've just been Glittered and Twittered!"

Microwave Oven

"Instant Heat!" - We cannot nor will not forget Vinnie Johnson of the National Basketball League's Detroit Pistons. The original Sixth Man of the Year!
Now entering the game is the microwave oven, Vinnie Johnson!

Trenched Love

The stage in a couple's relationship when it is not uncommon that they disappear for days at a time with no contact with the outside world. Hence, there is no general cause for worry or alarm. Analytically, this should mean the said couple is home and heavily engaged in consummating their love. This aspect is not necessarily the case these days. It is with today's many travel package get-away deals that this couple could have been "Trenchin' it in Cancun!"

End note: It is said that the term, "trench love" first came into use during World War I, somewhere in France.
"Why is it we never feel any trenched love anymore?"

Nuke This

This is fun with terminology. The term is used to get a point of apocalyptic emphasis across, scare grandma, and yet do away with the long winded saying, "Put my ham and cheese sandwich in the microwave oven." A simple "Nuke this!" will do. Guaranteed is that no one will misinterpret this abbreviated sentence and turn on the oven gas burner. Of course, grandma may feel the urge to bean her grandson over the head with a metal hot plate! It seems that many a World War II "Flame Thrower' veteran may have used a similar meaning word with "grandma" during the Cuban Missile Crisis in the sixties!
All I said was 'nuke this' grandma; you can put that frying pan back in the oven!

Remains of the Day

A quandary of time the German Wermacht had to face in the afternoon after their morning's rollover of France. Also an Alan Hopkins movie, which settings and plot occurred in English castle life found to be nuanced of aristocratic Nazi favoritism. These too, had to decide what to do with the remains of the day.

The Livable Sardine Can

A self-mocking quip in answer to a questioning of the quality of your home when in compare to those at the annual Parade of Homes venue. Also demonstrative of the will and resistance to refrain from burning down a row of garishly displayed high-fallutin' mansions.

A phrase derived from the winning entry of the "Parade of Homes for the Down and Out." This is a custom built street person abode. The eclectic Hobo's answer to 'splendid living' and keeping up with 'Hobo Jones' affluent.

A mocking quip directed to you and your kind in gesture as to what you can afford in public housing. Addendum: Such directed quip would also convince one to burn down a row of garishly displayed high-fallutin' mansions.
Said one Hermit Crab to the other: Hey Gatsby, I see your Livable Sardine Can won this year's first prize in the Parade of Homes on Cannery Row contest!

My entry into this years Parade of Homes is The Livable Sardine Can.
