Lady Csyde's definitions

Jamaican shower

Hotboxing the bathroom. Infinitely preferable to a golden shower or (*hurk*) a Roman shower.
I wasn't expecting to partake when she invited me over, but fifteen minutes later, there we were in the bathroom having a Jamaican shower.

Omnicause

A sarcastic term for the belief system of leftists who are unable to pick battles they can win, and who get sulky and bitter when they can’t get support from outside their circles. Turn-ons: Revolution, guillotines, ratfucking liberals. Turnoffs: Allies, pragmatism, anything less than complete victory (but only on their terms).
No, you’re missing the point. I support what you support, but I’m not voting for you because you tie everything into the Omnicause, and you will never get anything done like that.

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.

cold tea

A popular beverage drunk late at night in Chinatowns across the US and Canada; not to be confused with iced tea. Commonly the tea drunk is of unusual origins, such as St. Louis or Milwaukee, sometimes even Toronto. One peculiarity of such tea is that it often seems to be carbonated; the secret for doing this seems to be widely known, but has never been revealed.
3 AM. Miserable rainy night and the late-night diner is closed for renovations this week. Time to head over to Harrison Ave for some cold tea.

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.

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.
