Definitions by Ratched, RN
complaining
the human female equivalent of mansplaining. Complaining is the principal female response to the fact that there are things in the universe that they cannot control. Although the genetic phenotype for complaining is present in all humans, it is repressed to varying degrees by the presence of a Y chromosome due to the selective advantage that complaining holds over mansplaining. In short, the burden of perpetuating the human genome falls much more upon females than it does on males; and it is substantially safer to complain about one’s lack of control over objects and events in the universe and do nothing about it, than it is to mansplain the universe to the ends of trying to change it. The phenotypic distinction between males and females in regard to the complain/mansplain dichotomy is observable in the typical male’s reaction to female complaining consisting of attempting to “fix” the thing being complained about, rather than taking the safe route of simply pretending to listen and then doing nothing.
Female- This definition of complaining is stupid.
Male- Well it makes some interesting points about the utility of complaining versus mansplaining.
Female- Now you're stupid.
Male- I understand.

trackcedo
A track suit that is worn as if it is "dressy". Traditionally the trackcedo is donned with sneakers, a big gold chain, an overly large watch, sparce facial hair, and a pint of whatever cologne it is that you smell in dirty convenience stores on Friday and Saturday evenings, and at bus stops during the rest of the week.
I thought I'd try dating a Eastern European/Middle Eastern/Spanish/Baltic/Indian/New York/New Jersey/Philly/DJ/straight/short/whatever guy, but when he showed up at my door in a trackcedo I knew it wasn't going to work out.

Rehoming fee
Free super sweet adorable 2 year old puppy. Vet says she's part morkie part cane corso and part aussiedoodle. Free to good home, $100 rehoming fee. I have to find her a new home because I live in an apartment and can barely think five minutes ahead and I can't even take care of myself.
