proletariat transportation

in all North American cities and towns ( except Montreal, Toronto, Boston, NYC and San Francisco- suburbs not included), an offensive term for the public transit (bus, metro, tram, etc.) system
The reason the 5 cities mentioned above are excluded from the definition of proletariat transportation is because they have a well developed, in North American standards, public transit system.

couch-potato 

a normal person, with a job and a career, socially awkward outside their work environment, who may be using the "excessive TV watching" in order to manage their depression or social anxiety
many people jump the gun and label each and every couch-potato they encounter as a lazy and unproductive member of society; however, a couch-potato may indeed be be a very functional, non-lazy person, but still watch excessive amounts of TV as an alternative to drugs and medication when dealing with their depression or social anxiety

Alieni Ite Domum
