kirE's definitions
A social networking site, similar to myspace, et. al that is usable ONLY by certain college students and highschoolers. In other words, a private little elitest club for students afraid to leave their campuses, even online. Hard to believe, but there are interesting people in this world who aren't in college! -crowd gasps-
Dude, facebook is cooler than myspace - there's no ads!
I shoulda written that essay instead of facebooking last night.

Get the O-Town mug.An abbreviation for "LaserDisc", an obsolete 1980s video disc format, almost entirely eclipsed by VHS tapes and DVDs.

Get the ld mug.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 Alternative mug.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 check mug.This term, commonly used by college-age students, is someone you share a house with (or, less commonly, an apartment).
These people were, to my knowledge, formerly known as "roommates," in virtually all contexts.
Housemate seems to be merely one of the many trendy terms being tossed around these days.
Here are possible reasons for this word's existence:
A) Perhaps it's supposed to have less of the negative stigma that the word "roommate" seems to carry with it.
B) Also possible is that roommate implies a closer relationship/friendship than simply housemate.

John, Dave, and Bill were looking for another housemate to share in the rent.

Get the housemate mug.A sickeningly cute and sappy form of the word "husband".
This is a word to be avoided at all costs, never to be spoken, and will hopefully someday disappear from human vocabulary.
It's not cute, it's not endearing, and it's not sweet.
Seriously, it sounds f'ing STUPID when you say it. It smacks of middle-aged domesticity, desperate girls, homebody-military wives, and worthless people.
In addition, you sound EXTREMELY uneducated and hick-ish. Girls, do yourselves a huge favor - boycott this word.
I swear, every time you even think about saying this word you're setting women's rights back twenty years.

"That guy I married, he's my hubby."
"Oh, isn't my hubby a cutie??? I just love him!"
"I'd better do what my hubby says, he knows best"
