femivore 

Women who have veered from the work force into raising chickens, growing vegetables, and canning. A DYI locavore

My femivore friends may never do more than dabble in backyard farming - keeping a couple of chickens, some rabbits, maybe a beehive or two - but they're still transforming the definition of homemaker.

spendy 

Expensive. More than I’m comfortable paying.

Spendy puts a smiley face on the grim reality that I’m broke.

The food there is yummy, but it’s kinda spendy.

carry a torch 

an old flame or crush that still burns many years later

Similar to 'torch song', a romantic song of heartbreak.

I still carry a torch for her fifteen years later. Even though we were only together for two weeks. Remembering her laughing eyes and all we said...
As all my thoughts of her pass 'fore my face a thousand times
The way they race my heart... I cannot say it all in lines

teardown 

A house purchased to be demolished where the land is used to build a larger, more expensive house. Teardowns are purchased because the land they sit on is worth more without the house.

My parents house in the old neighborhood is worth $600,000 but it would definitely be a teardown.

Hummer house 

1. A ginormous house built on the site of a former site of a teardown that towers over its neighboring houses. Like the Hummer FUV, these houses appear to bully surrounding ones.

2. A McMansion characterized by its huge scale and cookie cutter design that embodies the Hummer “I got mine” lifestyle.

The neighbors torched the Hummer house being built by those arrogant SOBs.
