Definitions by Ben Frey

A reverse mullet - business in the back, party in the front. Preferred by urban hipsters who like long shaggy bangs without uncomfortably scratchy hair on their neck.
My friend who works at the second-hand record store down the street went to Supercuts the other day and got a tullem.

blanguage 

"Secret" black language. Nonverbal expressions that African Americans use to express the horrible things they say, as defined by Larry Wilmont on The Daily Show. It's a way for them to communicate to other black peole without whiteys knowing.
Examples of blanguage include: Obama flipping off Hillary Clinton by scratching his face with his middle finger and Larry adjusting his tie to say "stand down brothers, my boy is cool."

transposer 

A guy with tendencies toward wearing feminine clothes and/or makeup, but stopping short of a full-fledged transvestite or transexual. E.g. sporting guyliner, lipstick, excessive jewelry, female hairdos, and wearing overly tight shirts and women's black jeans. Usually this is just done for attention, rather than to signify sexual preference. Most common among rock singers.
Pete Wentz, Brandon Flowers, and the "Leave Britney Alone" guy are transposers.

Redd Foxx point 

The moment when a guy realizes he's hit the point of no return during sex. Just like Fred Sanford used to say: "It's the big one... You hear that, Elizabeth? I'm comin' to you, I'm comin' home to Georgia."
Last night I brought this girl back to my place for some action... I was hoping to take my time, but early in I hit the Redd Foxx point, so what could I do? Good thing her name was Elizabeth.

southsourcing 

Instead of hiring illegal aliens to work for you in this country, this is the business practice of relocating your manufactring and labor pool to Mexico - so everything is just as cheap, and nice and legal. As coined by Stephen Colbert.
If southsourcing keeps up, illegal aliens in the US are going to need to go where the jobs are - Mexico.

elevator shotgun 

In elevators of large office buildings, the coveted position right in front of the little TV screen that displays news headlines, weather, etc.
After the group of HR got off on 23, I quickly grabbed elevator shotgun to check the sports scores from last night on my way up.

Lima syndrome 

Unlike Stockholm syndrome, where hostages develop sympathy for their abductor, Lima syndrome is the result of the abductor / kidnapper sympathizing with his hostages.

Occurred in the Japanese Embassy hostage crisis of 1996, when members of a militant movement took hostage hundreds of people attending a party in the official residence of Japan's ambassador to Peru. Within a few days, they set free most of the hostages, including the most valuable ones.
In The World is Not Enough, James Bond thinks Electra King (Sophie Marceau) has Stockholm Syndrome for her kidnapper / lover Renard (Robert Carlyle). However, it turns out that Renard really had Lima Syndrome, and loved Electra deeply.
