The This and the That

"The This and the That" is an expression used to summarize key points in a conversation without actually saying what "this" is or what "that" is. Using the phrase assumes the audience knows what "this and the that" refers to, or they can infer from the rest of the conversation. Can expedite a conversation rapidly to get to the point.

It is customary to follow the phase "a this and the that" with the "that and the this," - everyone gets it.

I'm late for work but it's because the kids were whining, dogs needed walking, dishes left out overnight, the this and the that... and the that and the this... I'm an hour late!

friend crossover

Friend crossover is when one friend, introduces another friend to one of her other friends. Then, the two introduced friends, become friends = friend crossover. It can cause extreme angst with the friend who made the introduction, because now they are left at home while her former friends have crossed-over and excluded her from fancy parties and are now new besties!

Emily: I wish I never introduced Gretta to Mikayla. Now they are going to Zach's party together, and didn't even bother to invite me.
Cici: You should have known better - friend crossover never works out! Shoulda' never introduced!

Fuck fest

A fuck fest is what happens in a new, intimate relationship which includes days of sex, usually of the 'I just met you sex vs. make love' sex. At the end of a fuck fest, you appear jacked up, with messy hair, coconut oil everywhere, starving, but happy.

What did you do this weekend? Your hair is a floppy mess...
"Oh had a fuck fest... new BF"
Ah... got it.

Work Fuck Buddy

A work fuck buddy is a business colleague who you engage in hot, work related sex when you both attending corporate events such as trade shows and conferences. Generally, both parties have no relationship outside of work functions and save the fun for conferences. A work fuck buddy is there to engage, motivate, and reward with the intent of delivering maximum ROI.

I am so excited to attend PC World in Vegas, my work fuck buddy Joe is going to be there, so that makes it all good. Taking one for the company!

Guilt tax

Guilt tax is the unspoken guilty feeling one has when they are recipients of a generous gift, and mostly likely, have failed to reciprocate at the equal level. The guilt tax is especially high during the holidays when wealthier parents or friends give lavish gifts.

Karen to sister Beth: "Oh my gosh, Mom got me this expensive bracelet for Hannukah and all I got her was a pepper mill."
Beth: "Too bad for you! You're going to be paying the guilt tax for months!"

Dud

Dud is the opposite of funster. You can easily ascertain whether someone is fun-loving, maybe a little crazy OR are they the type of person to be, well, a dud. You will find a dud working overtime at his or her cube, whilst the funster is already at happy hour.

Karen to John O who she's never met: "So, John: are you a funster or a dud?"
John O. "Well I guess you'll have to be the judge of that after we meet" - clearly a dud.

Karen: "Okay, I'll hang with Troy, he's the ultimate funster!"

DTM

DTM means "Don't tell Mom!" A quick way to remind siblings that what you are sharing isn't for Mom to hear. DTM is most often by teenagers as well as adults to conceal activities or feelings from the likely disapproval of Mom. Easy to add at the end of a text and gets the message across.

Karen: "Mom wants me to go antique shopping all day in Sonoma. I'm on the fence. I'd go but only if you go... oh and DTM"
Beth: "Ya, I'm not gonna go. I'm telling Mom I'm sick! DTM either!"
