date night heels

What you call fuck-me shoes when your grandmother is listening.

So I'm going to the store for a pair of what I called "date night heels", and my grandmother said "You mean fuck-me pumps?" My grandmother is awesome.

bomber

A 22oz bottle of beer (commonly used by microbreweries) or a 1.5 liter bottle of wine (also known as a magnum).

I drank an entire bomber of something called Steel Rail Extra Pale Ale once. By the end of the meal I was listing heavily to the left and serenading my parents with a very weedy rendition of "American Pie".

Blu-Ray

The very definition of a mixed blessing. On the one hand, 25GB of data storage and the ability to record four hours of high definition video, all on a disc the same size as a DVD or CD. On the other hand, DRMed to the teeth and boobytrapped to boot.

You don't think $750 for a Blu-Ray drive is too much, do you? I got some movies to make.

plastic tree

A type of plant life that is used to manufacture plastic grocery bags. They once grew in great numbers in Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

I only had one item at the checkout, so I told the cashier to save a plastic tree and just took the receipt.

urban archipelago

A term created by sex columnist and liberal Dan Savage in the wake of the 2004 Presidential Election to describe the concentration of the political left in the United States near major cities and college towns in terms of islands of diversity in a sea of conformity. The implication is that the islands have their own interests to attend to and should disregard the sea.

It is thought that this exists because rural communities tend to be more isolated from other cultures than urban communities, and because people tend to leave the rural world for an education in urban areas and not go back.

The original article can be read at www.urbanarchipelago.com.

Although I'm not completely on board with the idea of the Urban archipelago, the idea of cities as islands is certainly a talking point.
