details 

1. A word that is synonymous for many different words depending on the context, often referring to specifics, particulars or minutiae.

2. It can also reference the physical anatomy that makes a woman physically attractive to men.

3. A hot girl, or a girl with a great body.

The word "details" is an excellent gap word or code word for certain topics when used correctly in context among a group of friends.

The example below references multiple instances where using the word "details" would be appropriate:

Guy 1: Dude, Lollapalooza this year was AWESOME!!!
Guy 2: Yeah? What was it like -- fill me in with ALL the details!
Guy 1: There were sooo many hot chicks there -- I couldn't stop staring at all their DETAILS!!! I even yelled out to this one hot chick, "Nice DETAILS!!!"
Guy 2: Sounds awesome -- I'm totally going next year!!!

Obsession-To-Detail 

The extreme form of "attention-to-detail" that often plagues graphic designers; ultimately preventing them from finishing their creative projects in a timely manner. Perfectionists in many professions may claim they suffer from this syndrome as well.

Symptoms of O.T.D. Syndrome:

- Repeated Ctrl "Z" commands after every modification you make to your project

- Staring blankly at your half finished project after smashing Ctrl "Z" for the last half hour

- The inability to complete a small project in less than 24 hours (i.e. banners, buttons, image corrections etc.)

- The urge to "start over from scratch" more than once on a large project

Jason: Hey, did you finish that 600 x 255 banner for our webpage yet? Its been over a week already; are you having some trouble?

Patty: OMG I am totally suffering from obsession-to-detail… I don’t know why I don’t like ANYTHING I am coming up with.

Jason: It just needs to say “Super Sale” in red lettering on a white background… how hard can that be?`

details magazine 

A crap magazine that can't even compete with its competition. GQ, Esquire, Men's Journal(!), and even Cargo kick their ass when it comes to newsstand sales.

Content is key and when you have shitty content like Details, you're bound to be in the back of the line.

I used my copy of Details Magazine as a shit scooper for my dog.
