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.

Friendly Confines

Chicago phrase for the greatest ballpark in the world, Wrigley Field. Unfortunately not, by any stretch of the imagination, home to the greatest baseball team in the world. Coined by first baseman and coach Ernie Banks.

Win or lose, it's always a good afternoon at the Friendly Confines.

cribster

A baby who is forced to become trendy by its urban hipster parents. More and more boutiques in upscale neighborhoods cater to these parents, stuck in 1/3-life crisis, who buy their baby clothes and accessories that are essentially scaled-down versions of the Hot Topic product line. It's a way for young moms to live the party life vicariously through their child, 16 years before that child will be allowed to party.

I don't know what's more disturbing: that the 35-year old mom in Starbucks is wearing a babydoll shirt that says "Sex Kitten"... or that her cribster is wearing the same thing.

BEF

Similar to Best Friends Forever (BFF), Best Enemies Forever (BEF) means two people who love to hate each other and rip on each other every chance they get. They are sworn enemies who form a bond of hatred so strong that it's more like a perverse kind of friendship.

Bill: "Goddammit, I hate that asshole Craig! Who does he think he's trying to impress??"
Dan: "Dude, will you stop talking about Craig? When did you two become BEF?"
