Adaptable
It’s an adjective; it means able to adjust to new conditions or capable of being modified for a new purpose. It can be applied to both people and objects and some authorities say that being adaptable, able to cope with changing conditions, is why humans are the dominant life form on earth.
It is frequently used in the workplace to describe someone who can handle anything and is capable of taking on the jobs that would have others scratching their heads until they got splinters under their fingers. It is also used to describe members of the British armed forces, one reason, perhaps, why they are the best in the world.

Two-seater
A person, usually female, with an arse so enormous it takes up two seats on a bus or other public transport. The sight of this apparition Is so remarkable that owner ceases to be a person and become just a mobile arse. The next stage usually results in the disbelieving mind asking a number of questions such as “Is it an elephant in disguise?” “How did it get into those jeans?” “Does it have its own Facebook page?” “Are the seats going to collapse?” This is usually followed by wondering “If it escaped would it attack people and ravage the countryside?” This in turn is followed by the heartfelt prayer, “Please don’t let it fart!”
I was on the bus yesterday and this enormous arse got on, talk about a two-seater, if there’d been a third seat it would have had that as well.

Invariably
Invariably is an adverb which means each time or upon every occasion. If you see a particular person that you loathe and despise coming towards you and you always get that sinking feeling in your stomach, then that is invariably what happens. You know that every time you see them they’ll have that shit-eating grin on their face that each time you see it makes you feel sick, then that is invariably what happens as well. You know too, because it happens every time that, without even saying “Hello”, they’ll start dishing the dirt on somebody because that is what invariably happens. I thought a few examples might help to clarify things, but I’m not invariably right.

Disagreeable
Disagreeable means nasty, offensive, disgusting, repulsive. It can refer to an unpleasant or unenjoyable experience, something that you wish you had never done, or even thought of or something that you thought would be really good that turned out to be a real disappointment.
It can also refer to someone who is unfriendly and bad tempered, the sort of person who resents and hates everything and everybody; who if you said “Good morning” to them, they would take it as a declaration of war and commence hostilities immediately. They are the sort of person who seems to have a permanent toothache and blames it on everyone with whom they come into contact.

Cuspidor
A cuspidor is a large bowl, often of metal, serving as a receptacle for spit, usually from snuff dipping or tobacco chewing. Generally considered to be the same as a spittoon, although spittoons tend to be shorter than cuspidors. The word comes from the Portuguese “cuspir” meaning to spit which itself comes from the Latin “conspuere” meaning to spit upon.
Toreador,
Don’t spit upon the floor,
Use the cuspidor,
That’s what it’s for.

Spite Monkey Mentality
The sort of mental attitude exhibited by the majority of teenagers worldwide; arrogance, inexperience, and self-absorption coupled with lack of insight, narrow mindedness and a total inability to accept that they could ever be wrong. It is just this sort of chip on the shoulder attitude that causes them to clog up Urban Dictionary with ridiculously silly definitions that stand no hope of ever being accepted, to compete with each other to produce the most sickeningly disgusting sexual perversion, to attempt to boost their, already over-inflated, egos with self-aggrandising descriptions of themselves or to denigrate people they don’t like with descriptions that they don’t have the balls to put their names to, because if they did they would be sued for libel. It’s the sort of mental attitude that, when their submission is rejected, throws all of its toys out of the pram and rejects everyone else’s definitions out of infantile spite.
It is to be hoped that eventually they will grow up and maybe grow a pair although it must be said that many of them never do, retaining even into old age an immature sense of entitlement.

Spite Monkey Mentality is unfortunately prevalent amongst the teens, pre-teens and post teens who have invaded Urban Dictionary.
