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."

fag hag

"No, you go to the gay bar because you're a fag hag!"

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."

chinchilla

A little fuzzy rodent, superficially resembling a squirrel, which is raised for its thick (usually) gray fur and sometimes kept as a pet. Rare in the wild.

"If your chinchilla gets out of its cage again, I'm going to make gloves out of it. Capisce?"

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."

scripture-thumper

Someone who will beat you over the head with whatever text they hold most sacred—be that the Bible, the Communist Manifesto, "Atheism: The Case Against God," or "Stranger in a Strange Land"—until you agree with them on all points.

"A religious debate? No thanks; they bring out all the scripture-thumpers."
