dinkytown

An area of Minneapolis by the UMN campus. Some people call it UMN's answer to Mad-town's State Street, but those people have clearly not been to State Street, as the atmosphere is completely different.

Contains several restaurants, cafés, shops and other venues, as well as the Dinkydome, a rather glorified (but nice) food court.

Uburbanites have an admittedly strange fondness for the neighborhood, and while they may bash it in the company of fellow Minnesotans, many will defend it to the death against Madison detractors.

This is not a nickname or slang term. It is the honest-to-gosh name of the neighborhood.
State Street is eclectic; Dinkytown is homey. State Street will nod to you as you pass, but Dinkytown will wrap you up in a great big Minnesotan bear hug.

I'm gonna be in Dinkytown this afternoon. Want to hit up the Dinkydome for lunch?

bicurious

Label a pubescent girl affixes to herself in order to appear sexually trendy.

Of all non-heterosexual "orientations," bicurious has the fewest long-lasting repercussions and is therefore adopted by girls who wish to appear different or exciting to males their age.

Bicurious girls are not interested in females (if they were, they would actually call themselves lesbian or bisexual); instead, they wish to attract young men who find the prospect of potential girl-on-girl action incredibly hot.

To be fair, the term is also used by lesbian and bisexual girls who are still uncomfortable with their sexuality, or who are testing the waters before coming out to their friends or family.
Trina: Sally, I... want to tell you something.
Sally: What is it, hon?
Trina: Well... I like you.
Sally: Oh my God, you're a lesbian?
Trina: No!
Sally: ...you're bisexual?
Trina: Well, not exactly.
Sally: So... what are you?
Trina: I'm bicurious.
Sally: Oh, you're a trendwhore.
