ladies who lunch

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.

politically incorrect

A phrase used by those attempting to pull an ideological snowjob on their audience; implies that the statement is some deep (often offensive) truth that the Establishment is ignoring or obfuscating, when in all likelihood the snowjobber is trying to disguise a wingnut theory as a piece of significant thought.

They say it's politically incorrect to deny evolution; I say it's just incorrect.

reboot

1. To restart a computer when it's acting like a little bitch. Common on old Mac and Windows systems, not so common on old Linux boxes, rare on modern computers.

2. To restart a movie, comic, TV, or book franchise in hopes that it won't jump the shark again. Sometimes works spectacularly (Battlestar Galactica). Sometimes falls flat on its face.

1. "If there's an error, we have this routine called panic, and when it is called, the machine crashes, and you holler down the hall, 'Hey, reboot it.'" --Dennis Ritchie

2. I was contemplating the idea of a Knight Rider reboot the other day. Would be interesting, definitely, but would it really be Knight Rider without the Hoff?

fun for the feebleminded

Any diversionary activity that requires a fair amount of effort and absolutely no brain power; generally makes the person doing it look slightly stupid.

Building a house of index cards? That's fun for the feebleminded if I ever saw it.

football hair

A hairstyle associated largely with African-American men who play American football; essentially a mass of long, haphazardly-done braids, it is somewhere between dreadlocks and cornrows. Sort of like hockey hair for black people.

I saw a guy walking down the street the other day. He was about 6'6" in a business suit with a serious case of football hair, and I had to seriously resist the temptation to ask him where he played.

12 oz curls

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.

sammich

A type of portable food that, when fed to a painfully skinny woman, will magically turn her into a screaming hottie with a curvy ass and porn star tits.

I had a friend -- she was cute, but nothing to her. Then i gave her a sammich and she went overnight from Twiggy to Gianna Michaels.
