tullem

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.

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.
