straight cred
Some shit that a straight man flashes when he's hanging with bro's and begins to suspect that the bro's suspect he's gay. He will then proceed to make a comment--usually of a lewd sexual nature--about a woman to publicly confirm his straightness to the other bro's and assuage fears that he wants their body.
Male Cashier: "Man, that's a real nice scarf. I've never seen anyone match their scarf to their sweatshirt so well."
*awkward pause*
Bro: "Um.. thanks.."
*hot girl walks by*
Male Cashier: "Oh hey look, the college girls are back in town. Looks like some fine ass scenery!"
--
The Male Cashier realized that he sounded a bit too interested in the bro's fashion choice. He brought out his straight cred to fix this critical error.

Eco-cred
In short, “Ecological Credibility”. One gains eco-cred by exhibiting behaviors that suggest a commitment to the environment. Driving a hybrid car gives you eco-cred. Riding a bicycle to work gives you MAJOR eco-cred. Recycling cans, plastic and newspaper gives you very little eco-cred, but recycling your neighbor’s trash by digging through it to find recyclable products gains you lots of eco-cred.
People concerned with their level of eco-cred often feel the urge to measure themselves against others. One-upmanship is the order of the day when environmentally-aware types get together. It is very important to always win these contests. If your buddy bikes to work every day, then tell him that you also bike to work, while charging your laptop using converted pedal-power. Having an iPod powered by solar cells is a nice touch, too.
Riding public transportation is a reasonable effort towards eco-credibility, but if you take the bus because you don’t feel like driving, don’t tell anyone…Make them think you refuse to use a pollution machine that contributes to gridlock, choosing instead to use your time on the bus to invent new uses for Hemp. Hopefully your fellow passengers will never notice that you drive an SUV.

Bed Cred
Bed Cred is like having street cred but in the sack. For instance if you pull off a high skill or high risk maneuver such as the shocker, the rear admiral, a threesome or a white sanchez then you've earned some bed cred. Bed cred can also be earned by going above and beyond to please the other partner(s) involved.
Hey man check it, I was with this girl last night and I gave her the shocker and 3 orgasms!
Nice man. I'd say you just earned a healthy chunk of bed cred.
