Rich middle-aged women with no jobs or other meaningful way to occupy their time, who descend on upscale cafes around lunchtime to hang out with each other more because they have nothing better to do than because they like the company. Generally despised by cafe workers.
I don't know why Ina Garten has this "ladies who lunch" persona -- you know she busts her ass when she goes to work.

An obscure scripting language designed by someone oblivious to the fact that in order to get market share, you have to either own the market (in which case people will buy any shit you put out (Visual Basic anyone?)) or give it away (Perl, which sucks horribly except for everything else out there).
He coded the entire back end up in REBOL, and I had to look it up to even figure out what the hell it was. Then I laughed at him for picking the most obscure language in the book.

A bizarre and extremely uncomfortable sensation of constant electric buzzing in the head after discontinuing certain antidepressant drugs. Can be very persistent and may be related to epilepsy.
Lexapro did wonders for me, but then I had to skip a few days between prescription refills... then, the zaps...

Premade, refrigerated biscuit dough in a cardboard can. So called because if you unwrap the can, you sometimes have to whack the side of it on the counter for it to open. Pricewise, at ~$2 for a 4-pack, they're the bread equivalent of instant ramen.
You aren't seriously thinking you're going to impress her with Prego and whackabiscuits, are you? Would you at least make one thing that doesn't come out of a can?

An exercise consisting of repeated lifting of a bottle of malt-based "energy drink" from the top of a table to the mouth.
The year the Red Sox won the World Series, Johnny Damon had spent his offseason conditioning program doing 12 oz curls.

The things cooks who are in the weeds do to get caught up. Includes deep-fried steaks, questionably sourced ingredients, illicit bouillion cubes, and lots of other things you really don't want to know about when your order gets to the table. Practitioners of System D are known as débrouillards, which in French means "guy who gets you out of trouble".
I really don't want to see what kind of System D shit goes on back there, nor do I want to know how my steak got to the table in five minutes or why it has paper towel marks on it. Shut up and eat.
