telegraph intersection 

A traffic intersection that, because of a lack of a protected turn and the flow of traffic, only lets one vehicle through per cycle of lights.

That guy up there is turning left and the light just turned green, by the time he turns, it'll be red again. I hate telegraph intersections.

Clown Suit 

In some MMO's the collection of equipment that provides the best stats do not aesthetically match (so called Best in Slot, so while your character may be performing the best that they can with the equipment, they resemble a clown in the mismatched colors and styles of the armor that they're wearing.

With that last piece of shoulder armor that I got, I'm now wearing a clown suit.

2. Any word, that while not vulgar, may have unpleasant connotations to the person referring to it as such.

1. Bob got fired from his job because he said a four letter word to a customer

2. Love is a four letter word
