Literally means "pretty boy," as in an attractive member of the male gender. Also spelled "bishonen," and sometimes shortened to "bish" and "bishie/bishy." It is a Japanese word, adopted by female anime fans in the rest of the world to denote any male anime, manga, or video game character they happen to find good looking. Strictly speaking, "bishounen" should only refer to boys under age 20, since a "pretty man" would be "biseinen." However, most people prefer to use bishounen for men and boys of all ages, as it is so widely used.
Opinions on which males are bishounen and which are not vary according to personal tastes. The stereotypical bishounen generally has long hair, a slender, graceful figure, and lacks facial hair. Bishounen tend to appear androgynous or feminine. They are also likely to have certain personality traits, like sensitivity, secretiveness, moodiness, refinement, and a dark, tormented past.
This word is a noun, but is sometimes used as an adjective, as in the sentence "That guy is so bishounen." As an adjective, the word means "having or displaying the traits of a bishounen."

The most powerful black magic spell in the anime series Slayers, excepting the Giga Slave. This spell calls upon the power of the dark lord Shabranigdo. The spell's original name was "Dragon Slay," but over time, "slay" became corrupted into "slave." The spell is powerful enough to destroy a fair-sized city. For this reason, pissing off short, small-breasted sorceresses is not advised.
"Dragon Slave" can be used as a verb to mean "to destroy with a Dragon Slave spell." "Dragon Slaved" is an adjective to describe a person, place, or object which has been destroyed with this spell.

There used to be a town where that crater is, but it was Dragon Slaved shortly after this short girl and her weird friends came to town.

Concatenation of slacker and bitch. A slackbitch is a person (generally female, but may be male) who is extremely lazy and prone to procrastination. The term is used as a playful, mocking insult, and is most often applied to oneself, not other people. Slackbitches are usually quite proud of being slackbitches.
I am such a slackbitch, I don't use hangers or drawers to hold my clothes, they just lie about on the floor in varying states of cleanliness.

Alternative name for the city of Manchester, New Hampshire, USA. The word was coined by combining the first part of "Manchester" with the second word in "Las Vegas," juxtaposing Las Vegas's glitz and glamor with Manchester's lack of either. Used derisively.
"So are we going out tonight?"
"We live in Manch-Vegas. The hottest spot open this late is Wal-Mart."
"We live in Manch-Vegas. The hottest spot open this late is Wal-Mart."
