a mediocrity from the suburbs
a) a woman who is the exact opposite of a goddess from Athens who is also so-so in terms of her bedroom skills.

father: no. She doesn't deserve that you commit a St Valentines Day Massacre on her, and you can't do a rat's ass about it; the cherry-phrase we, humans, are creatures of habit applies to her too. not matter how much you have in common, she is still her own individual person.

international beat-off day
a very offensive and derogatory term for Labor Day (in North America and Thanksgiving Day (in Canada only).
international beat-off day is an offensive term because on these days otherwise productive male members of the North American workforce simply sit at home doing diddly-squat and beat off to porn. Too bad Thanksgiving is not celebrated in Canada during the month of Brovember.
