Qit's definitions

boys will be boys

An excuse that people make for a young guy doing something stupid.

High-school principal: "Your son cut class to smoke a joint and tag the women's locker room. We caught him in there, in a compromising position with two girls."

Mother of 18-year-old: "Well, he shouldn't be doing that...but boys will be boys, I suppose."

Vegan

Someone who refuses to either eat or wear anything derived from an animal. Not necessarily any less healthy than your typical omnivore—contrary to popular belief, you can get protein from some plants—but not necessarily any more so.

Also not inherently self-righteous...but altogether too many of them are.

"You can preach veganism at me all you want...but I'm not giving up chicken strips, silk shirts, or leather boots. Get over it."

fag hag

Any straight woman who, for some reason, happens to spend a lot of time around gay men.

"I go to the gay bar because I don't get hit on there."
"No, you go to the gay bar because you're a fag hag!"

obese

1) Fat enough to disgust shallow people.
2) Fat enough to make doctors presume that you eat mass quantities of junk food and never exercise--and therefore, prescribe weight loss as a cure for literally anything that ails you.
3) Having a body mass index over 30, regardless of actual body composition.

"Did you know that according to modern medicine, Joe is considered obese?"
"*Snicker.* Tell me exactly how Joe--Mr. Amateur Powerlifter, who's got a *tiny* beer gut--counts as 'obese.'"
"He's 6'4" and weighs 250#. That's all that counts to them."

vegetarian

Someone who won't eat—at very least—mammal flesh. For some reason, this usually includes people who eat poultry and seafood as well as those who are almost completely herbivorous. (Someone who is completely herbivorous is called a vegan.)

Not necessarily any more healthy than an omnivore, but also not necessarily any more so.

Usually less annoying than vegans, but may hassle you over getting a hamburger instead of one of those garden patties.

"My roommate is a vegetarian. Accordingly, she's developed a killer mushroom sandwich recipe."

capsaicin

The chemical in chili peppers that makes them "hot." Actually a mild irritant.

"How many times more capsaicin does a habañero have than a jalapeño?"

pro-choice

Someone who wants to keep abortion legal, wants euthanasia to be an option for the dying, or both. Not necessarily a heartless nihilist with no respect for human life, although that's a common stereotype. Usually considers abortion and euthanasia "necessary evils."

"I think abortion is wrong, but I realize that sometimes it's the only option. What does that make me?"
"You still count as pro-choice. Get used to it."
