Boston jilling

The female act of touching herself furtively in the privates while fully clothed; so-called because of the reputation Bostonians have for sexual inhibitions and hypocrisy.

It was a long and boring guy flick, so I entertained myself by Boston jilling during it. I don't think my guy was the wiser, as he was too intent on the action.

shania

A shania is a unit of navel (belly button) exposure by young women in music videos. After country singer Shania Twain (1965-), who was counted as having 50 discrete (not discreet!) flashes in her video "Any Man of Mine." Based on this, each navel exposure is counted as one shania. Shania Twain, of course, achieved the lofty record of 50 shanias and this is regarded as a benchmark for excellent performance in this activity.

For several seasons of "I Dream of Jeannie," Barbara Eden managed to wear a two-piece harem costume while maintaining a shania of zero. Apparently, women did not have navels before 1975.

Anita Loos effect

This refers to men having a preference for blondes, as well as the supposed increased sales of magazines that feature a blonde on the cover. Named after Anita Loos, author and screenwriter, who wrote "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."

We'll put a well-endowed blonde on the cover of next month's magazine and take advantage of the Anita Loos effect.

skin the bunny

A tag game played by midwestern rednecks in which the participants, usually quite drunk, run, hop, or stagger after a running girl player who is wearing a halter or bikini top. The winner is the player who catches her and successfully strips her of her top. This may be followed by chugging a beer, fondling the bunny, or both.

On Saturday night, everyone got drunk and played skin the bunny. Sharon enjoyed being the bunny.

Although Vickie was relatively flat-chested, she used the temporary fix of Indiana implants, courtesy of Kleenex. It even gave the illusion of cleavage.

day tripper

1. Someone who acts as a tourist for day, returning to his or her home at day's end. This expression is primarily used in the UK.

2. Someone who uses psychotropic drugs such as LSD.

Jack was a perfect superannuated hippie in both senses of being a day tripper: taking a day's trip from home, and getting stoned while doing so.
