kirE's definitions
Something girls used to refer to their boyfriends as - possibly back in the 50s or 60s.
Something that home-body girls still call their guys in modern times - usu. after becoming engaged.
Personal plea: Please, get with the times. No one but your grandma has any excuse to talk like that.

Get the pickupmug. Adult Alternative; See "Adult Contemporary".
This is basically the same stuff as Adult Contemporary.
Again, these are watered-down blah tunes for those who wish to think they're just too darn mature to listen to some good music and/or are afraid of offending someone by playing something more hip.
Can be viewed on VH1 or heard on your local easy-listening station.
The musicians of Adult Alternative bands are said by some to be down-to-earth individuals who dress modestly and are the kind you'd run into in a supermarket.
Sad...

Bands such as Coldplay, U2, Nickleback, Lifehouse, Maroon 5, Dave Matthews Band, etcetera fall under the Adult Alternative genre.
These bands and this music are NOT to be confused with actual genre known as "Alternative," nor should it be confused with Grunge or Indie music.

Get the Adult Alternativemug. Short for "television set". (or TV set). You know, that thing you watch when you're just chilling out at home.
Frequently spews forth dismal reports on the state of the world, pop-culture airhead fluff (such as reality shows), and who can forget the soaps.

Get the setmug. A ring check is quickly glancing at the fingers of potential girls (or guys, I suppose) to see if they're already spoken for.
You should be looking for a wedding ring or an engagement ring. Though lack of a ring doesn't mean they're single, at least there might be some hope for you.

Guy: "Damn, she's hot. I'm gonna ask her out."
Friend: "Don't bother, I just did a ring check - she's married."
Guy: "Oh well..."

Get the ring checkmug. O-town is the name of the fictional city in which the animated series "Rocko's Modern Life" took place.

Get the O-Townmug. This is what places of business put in their window or other prominent location, usually in the form of a sign, banner, or other such thing when they are seeking new employees.
Sometimes seen in newspaper advertisements as well.
These words pop up everywhere after school lets out for the summer. (sometimes in the form of Help Wanted, Positions Available, or other similar terms).
For many, this presents an opportunity to get a summer job and make some money - whether to save for school, material possessions, or simply the future. This is perfectly fine and is what the majority of us students seem to do.
For others, however, these two simple words are most unwelcome because we simply wish to chill out and enjoy the warm weather and short freedom from school.
It's not that we're all a bunch of lazy slackers, druggies, or whatever - some of us are have a great work ethic and aspirations for the future - we just want to have a leisurely summer break (after working our a**es off all year in high school or college).
When parents, family, or other older adults see this sign, they nag us incessantly to sacrifice our well-deserved vacation and apply for a job.
