Slavery

Holding a job.

Having to work.

Going to school.

Marriage.

Life.
Sadly, the vast majority of us are in slavery, whether it be based upon the necessity of a college degree, the expecation that one be in a lifelong relationship, need for financial resources (money), religious beliefs, social viewpoints, or whatever pointless reason.

It's very sad, but very true.

fella

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.
He's my fella. Isn't he dreamy?

ld

An abbreviation for "LaserDisc", an obsolete 1980s video disc format, almost entirely eclipsed by VHS tapes and DVDs.
Damn, that LD is as big as a (bleeping) LP!
You mean a record?
Yeah, a record. LOL

teen mother

A teen mother is a female (between the ages of 13 and 19) who has a child.

If she became pregnant by accident because of unprotected sex...well, that sucks. This is why there needs to be better sex education in this country, and parents need to have "the talk" with their kids.

If she had it intentionally...well, then this is a girl who has taken her youth and prematurely flushed it down the toilet. This is an example of yet another worthless person, and God knows we don't need more of them in this country.

Girls this young (even if they think they are) are really not ready to have children. The maturity and responsibility is just not there yet. In addition, there is usually a lack of financial resources (money).

For those that may argue that "Well, my grandparents decided to have children at 18, etc..."
Uhm, if you haven't noticed, society is a lot different now. Look around.
"She had a kid? Wow. Too bad for her"
"Yeah, it was her idea to get pregnant!"
"At 18???"
"Yeah"
"Wow. Well, too bad for her. She is a teen mother."

set

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.
"There's only one set, so whatever you watch, you know I have to watch it too."
-- Weird Al, "The Brady Bunch"

Turn on the d*mn set! Hey, where's the remote???

pickup

Short for "pickup truck". I'm sure you've all seen one driving around, sometime in your life.
"Joe Dirt's ride is an old Ford pickup."
"Yeah, I heard. What a bucket!"

Now Hiring

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.
Dad: Hey son, I saw a Now Hiring sign at the local grocery store. You need to go get a job.
Me: Damn.
