The African- American ritual of the extended morning greeting. It involves a seemingly endless string of platitudes & small-talk around the office coffee machine between the hours of 7:15 AM & 9:30 AM. The instigator is usually a middle-aged black woman (ankle bracelet & mules optional) or an overweight black male with a limp or lazy eye. Others in the workplace are annoyed by extended conversation as it inhibits a productive start to the morning. The downside of not engaging in the black caucus is that you are typically viewed as rude or "not raised right by yo' momma."
Cheryl: "How you doing this morning, Dante?"
Dante: "Good, good. Just trying to, ah, maintain. You know."
Cheryl: "I know, I know. You've got to do what you can do. I'm s'rious."
Dante:"No doubt, no doubt."
Cheryl: "Mm-hmm. That's right."
(This mindless, directionless black caucus can go on for up to 15 minutes.)

A 20 or 30-something female found in Chicago, IL. Their migration patterns, though originating in Lincoln Park, include Bucktown/Wicker Park, Lincoln Park, Gold Coast, Wrigleyville, Lakeview, and, increasingly, the West Loop. They are easily identifiable by their fair skin, blond hair (or at least with hightlights), good purse, manicured feet/hands, and Starbucks cup. They are born in the midwest but have found Michigan or Ohio to be so passe so they moved to the big city. The preferred form of transportation is the VW Jetta or Honda Accord. They have typically graduated from large state universities with good football teams and mediocre academics. Trixies tend to live and work in Chicago but hate their job although they will tend to stick with it as it accomodates their "urban" lifestyle. Trixies have nice belongings (clothes, shoes, purse, car) but tend to be cash-poor as they must maintain their standard of living. Trixies are typically attracted to midwestern, frat-boy types: 30-years old and still wearing baseball hats backwards and rugby shirts with horizontal stripes. They will stick with these douchebags as they are buying time until they can get married as the large engagement ring is a sign of rank in their social circles, much like chevrons & rockers in military insignia.
Um, yeah, we were at John Barleycorn's last night and I met up with some of my friends from Iowa State.
