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.

"I'm from Dwight."
"Oh, you're a downstater."

"Hey, if you're farther than Joliet, you're a downstater."

beta male

An unremarkable, careful man who avoids risk and confrontation. Beta males lack the physical presence, charisma and confidence of the Alpha male.

Pete knew he was losing the girl he'd just met at the bar to the guy who bought her a drink, but he was too much of a beta male to do anythigng about it.

Based on Niles' wife in Frasier, who is often referred to but never seen unobstructed.

Hey man, glad you could make it to my party! Did you come alone? Where's your Maris this time?

slingbox

A device that can attach to your Tivo or other digital video recorder, which allows you to access and watch your programs over the Internet. You simply log into your computer and watch whatever streaming video you have recorded on your Tivo.

Thanks to my slingbox, I can watch last night's episode of "24" which my Tivo recorded, even though I'm still on vacation.
