Both of them were asshats! Well, that guy was a little less of an asshat than the other.
Yeah. Good thing Amir was there, or the whole night would've sucked. He's a real headpants.

What do you do when you have to walk a mile and a half in a downpour, and by the time you arrive, your jeans are soaked from the pockets down? But your shirt is dry. And your flannel overshirt is dry.
Clearly, if you're as much of a headpants as she is, you turn it into a skirt, by wrapping it around your waist and attaching as many of the buttons as you can.

Get the headpants mug.To sleep together in the same bed or similar space. Does not imply having sex. It's what "sleep together" would've meant if we hadn't turned it into a slang idiom meaning "to have sex".
"The kids used to cosominate until we got them separate beds when they were 6 and 8."
"You can crash here if you don't mind cosominating. I don't have a spare mattress."
"We just started having sex last week, but we've been cosominating for months."

Get the cosominate mug.A misplaced pop culture reference, usually caused by confusing similar names or words, and referring to someone/something irrelevant or ridiculous in context.
As with a malapropism, the confusion and result are similar; however, rather than confusing the meaning of standard English words, one is confusing similar-sounding names & pop culture references.
A malapopism can also occur when someone is unaware of the fact that the same name refers to a different person/thing/event, and makes an inappropriate reference based on that mistaken assumption.

Both kinds of malapopisms (similar names; same name but different people) in conversation:
Jen: The Cottingley fairies were a hoax, and Arthur Conan Doyle was fooled. James Randi's book tells all about it.
Arshad: Damn fairies, always wanting to restrict the free market! :)
Everyone: *stares blankly*
Arshad: You know... all that Libertarian stuff Randi wrote?
Everyone: Oh, you mean Ayn Rand!
Arshad: ohhh.
Who were the Senators from Illinois before Obama and Durbin?
Well, before Durbin was Paul Simon...
Hah, did he sing "Sound of Silence" to the Senate?
Dude, that's not the same Paul Simon!

Get the malapopism mug.The sort of unfortunate or amusing coincidence or contradiction that you're tempted to label "irony", but realize isn't actually ironic at all. Named for Alanis Morisette, whose song Ironic contains many examples of alany and none of irony (except for the song as a whole, which is ironic...).
You plan a trip to a faraway city, contact your friend who lives there who you haven't seen in months, and find out she's actually going to be visiting your city that same weekend, so you'll miss each other. Such alany!

Get the alany mug.They won't like it, but the IT department says we need to fenestrate the entire department, including the ones who are using Linux.
