same stove

Like a child who doesn't figure out the stove is hot the first time, many people repeat the same hurtful mistakes in life and end up getting "burned"--and inexplicably seem surprised each time. They are effectively putting their hands on the stove again and again and don't figure it out because they think it's a different stove entirely each time. The solution? Remind them it's the same stove.

Mark: "Man, I just know this girl won't be like all the others before her! I can feel it in my heart! Just 'cause she acts and talks like them and has burned dozens of men before me doesn't mean it will happen this time!"

Cameron: "Dude, I hate to tell you this, but it's the same stove."

Mark: "You're so wrong!"

Cameron: "Same. Stove."

Unified Theory of 80's Movies

The fact that most all movies in the 80's had, at their core, a single running theme:

Bored suburban middle-to-upper-class white teens have crazy adventures and come full circle having learned a little about themselves.

How this particular zeitgeist arose is a matter of debate; its existence is not.

"Adventures in Babysitting, Mac & Me, Flight of the Navigator, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, License to Drive, Pretty In Pink, Mystic Pizza, The Wizard, Breakfast Club, Lucas, Gremlins, Risky Business, All the Right Moves, Back to the Future, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, The Boy Who Could Fly, Can't Buy Me Love, A Christmas Story, Dirty Dancing, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Goonies, Karate Kid, Labyrinth, Little Monsters, Lost Boys, The Monster Squad, Neverending Story, Pretty in Pink, Real Genius, Revenge of the Nerds, Say Anything, Sixteen Candles, Some Kind of Wonderful, Stand By Me, Weird Science and War Games are just a few of the movies from the 80's that fit under the Unified Theory of 80's Movies."

cyngle

A cynical single. Used mostly in IMing because as a homophone it sounds just the same when spoken.

Samantha: God I hate men! They're all obsessed with tits!
Katie: lol
Katie: Oh stop it, you're just feeling cyngle.
Samatha: wtf?
Samatha: I'm not cyngle.
Katie: Oh please, you rant all day about how you hate men but the minute one looks at you twice you totally forget.

a.D.O.R.

a.D.O.R. stands for "A Distant Open Relationship"

It has multiple meanings, as it sounds like "A Door" and "Adore", each of which are relevant to the meaning (an opening that can be open or closed, and lavishing attention on something)

Somewhere between a friends with benefits and an open relationship with a boyfriend/girlfriend, a.D.O.R. is someone you have a romantic relationship with frequently but not exclusively. The "Distance" can be either as a result of a desire for independence or geographic distance that allows for coupling outside the relationship but doesn't weaken the passion of your interludes with that one person, similar to polyamory.

Differs from open relationships in that partners are not technically dating and isn't a friend with benefits because you are more passionate/romantic than is typical of that definition.

Gary: "I don't get it, you guys have awesome passion for each other, get along great why don't you just call it what it is?"

Al: "I do, we're a.D.O.R. We do what we want, and when we come together, it's amazing."

bigratory pattern

The tendency of "bisexuals" to eventually go all gay, especially men. Can also describe the tendency of "bisexuals" to "bigrate" to L.A.

"Yeah, I knew it," said Sarah. "The minute he said he wanted to be with men too I knew he'd go all gay. It's the usual bigratory pattern."

Awwmit

The combination of feelings experienced when one is observing an event, thing or person that inspires a combination of tender feelings and regurgitation ('Aww' and 'vomit')

"Would you look at those two, always sending little love notes through Facebook where we can all see them swooning and fawning over each other...I just have to suppress my awwmit."

anablog

The old fashioned journal you wrote in with crushed tree pulp, binding, and maybe some kind of lock mechanism. For some reason people used to like writing opinions only they read. It is a fad past its prime but Borders still sells them for some reason.

"What is that odd rectangular shaped device you have in your lap that appears to be filled with blue lined 2 dimensional pieces of non-digital substance?"

"Oh this is just my anablog...I write it in to remember things and keep my private thoughts"

"I see, so how do you post it when you're done?"
