bobo

Short for "bourgeois bohemian" in fact another form of poser... pretending "acting" to be a dirtbag or grunge type, often in ski towns or outdoors activities areas - climbing, wind-surfing, kayaking, etc ... being the most hip, non-capitalist, vegan, supporter of causes. Often found in the hippest places in Latin America, Palestine, Africa, acting like the locals. When they are out of money and when the going gets rough they do not sell their truck or pawn their skis but go to the bank, discretely find their credit card or have their parents bail them out, supply an airline ticket or hospital bill. A covert "trustafarian"
She's not a dirtbag snowborder... she's a DuPont, a bobo...

You wait tables all summer; bobo there goes home to Cape Cod or Palo Alto.

electronic ritalin

electronic devices given to children - I-pods, cell phones, DVDs in cars, X-Box, Play Station, Nintendo, etc - to keep them quiet & busy - can range from a blessing to a curse
"Honey, did you bring the electronic ritalin? This is going to be a twelve hour drive"

"Yes the boys picked out a dozen DVDs and brought their I-Phone chargers"

"Now we can discuss every life issue in privacy and fall in love again"

"What do we do when the DVDs run out? Listen to their stories and fall in love with them again"

MP

Military Police - at least in the Army. As loved as the police in the outside world, except in the military you have few rights, and they know it and will rat fuck you the second they can. they originate from the kids at school everyone hated. MPs think they are badass but in Iraq and Afghanistan haji handed the MPs their asses on route patrol and just about any engagement requiring the Infantry real men to take over. on the big bases MPs hand out speeding tickets to grunts stressed out from months of combat... charming. For what it's worth... CID investigates real crimes but every MP thinks he's a CID investigator.
Hit by THREE IEDs today and I get a ticket for going 35 in a 25mph zone, mother-fucker.

Can't spell wimp without MP.

Avoid that route, it's full of MPs.

A phenomena for whatever kind ofimage, that a man or woman appear in public to be gay, but are actually straight in their personal life. Is it to empathize with the oppressed? Or just to be the heppest "mui cool" person around. A sexual poser.
Sally- Kyle is such a fine lookin' man... too bad he's gay, sigh.

Mary- no, I can tell you a very different story, he is gay in the streets, straight in the sheets.

MONTANA

The big MT placed that used to be a paradise until ruined by pretty people assholes from Michigan, California, Massachusetts and Vermont. It is flat, cold, remote, hostile and we hate wolves.
