QuacksO's definitions
A geographic region in Western Asia where everyone lives like royalty in fancy mansions and castles.
If the stuffy "holier than thou" behavior of "rich bugs" is a major turn-off for you, you might wanna steer clear of Palacetine on your foreign-country visiting-itinerary... areas with simple country-folk who are more welcoming of tourists might be more your style.

Get the Palacetine mug.Refers to where you temporarily spin your rectangular mouse-pad a fraction of a turn so that you can roll the mouse diagonally along the pad for maximum "continuous travel-distance" before having to lift the mouse and bring it back up to the top of the pad again. Useful for when you need to move the cursor farther than an entire "top to bottom" or "left to right" sweep of the screen, such as if the web-page is extra long/wide, or if you are needing to view the page with the magnifier racked up considerably.
I always set my cursor's travel-speed at maximum so that I usually don't have to move the mouse very far to navigate the entire screen-area; once in a while I have to look at a really long column of text or images (like if I'm reading a large volume of text or shopping for items on a lengthy catalog-page), though, and so I do a 1/7-turn mouse-pad rotation to minimize my having to perform "fresh-bite hops" with the mouse.

Get the 1/7-turn mouse-pad rotation mug.Refers to a comparatively-brief period during which you perform/suspend a certain action/practice due to your being seethingly upset at that time.
I eventually became hot and frustrated while feverishly trying to rebuild my hydraulic floor-jack, so I temperarily took a walk down to the seashore to cool my brain, then strolled back an hour later and was able to successfully finish the repair.

Get the temperarily mug.A single dude who mixes up his own bread/cookie-dough due to his having no women-folk around to do da baking for him.
If a batchelor becomes good enough at his cooking, potential spouses might find this ability attractive, especially if said ladies happen to be "lazy cooks" themselves, and so they wish that someone else would make dinner sometimes.

Get the southern exposure mug.Refers to how a majority of male couch-potatoes feel about their TV remote. It's a "guy thing", ladies, like vehicle-engines and road-maps --- you wouldn't understand.
Trying to get a "manly" dude to relinquish control of his remote is the ultimate test of bravery and an amazing display of temerity --- it's a "surf 'n' turf" issue here... the guy wants to "surf" the channels at will, and so he feels that the remote is his "turf" that he does not want anyone --- especially someone of the opposite gender --- encroaching upon.

Get the surf 'n' turf mug.Besides the "classic" musical-notes connotation, this phrase can also refer to either:
(1) Something you definitely don't wanna have in your car if you get pulled over. About the only exception, of course, would be if you're merely transporting empty gin-bottles to the redemption center; if this is the case, however, you will want to thoroughly drain and then neatly bag up said containers, and also either snugly cross-tie the bags' mouths or seal them with string or wire-twists so that (A) not much alcohol-fumes will escape to invalidly create a telltale fermented-beverage smell at your driver's door window, and (B) the officer can see that you weren't sipping from any of the containers yourself.
(2) The "wide latitude of interpretation" that the "right to remain silent" amendment is often subject to.

"I am hauling empty gin-bottles to the redemption center" is hardly an incriminating statement under most circumstances, so there should be no problem with any "open fifths", since conceivably you would have no need to remain silent if a policeman asks what's with all the bags of liquor-bottles in your back seat or trunk.
