Shepherd Guy's definitions
The Employee Half-Life of a workplace is the amount of time it takes for half of a new batch of employees to quit.
An EHL of less than three months is generally regarded as a bad sign in business.

When I first joined Acme Industries, there were five other new employees with me. After about six weeks, only three of us remained, including myself. So Acme Industries has an Employee Half-Life of about six weeks.

Get the Employee Half-Life mug.Someone who, at one point, had sexual/romantic desires, but just threw in the towel on dating wholesale, often due to frequent rejection. Hence the name: towelsexual.
Not to be confused with asexuals/aromantics, who never had any sexual/romantic desires to begin with. Or incels, whose failures at romance stem from a boring life and lead to abject hatred towards the other gender.
The towelsexual pride flag is, well, just a towel. What did you expect? We gave up trying to design one, too.

I was straight at one point, but after 15 women in a row said no, I threw in the towel and came out as towelsexual.

Get the Towelsexual mug.Salsa that carries barely any heat, typically sold by most Mexican restaurants to white people who can’t handle spicy food. A play on words- the two most common kinds of salsa are salsa verde and salsa rojo, so with salsa blanco, they make up the three colors of the Mexican flag.
As much as I love the taco truck near my workplace, I wish they’d give me actual salsa instead of this uninspired salsa blanco stuff. I can handle the head, dammit.

Get the Salsa Blanco mug.Trying to speak Spanish, stumbling on a word, and just guessing at the word, usually by putting an o at the end.
Alice: ¿A donde trabajas, Bob? (Where do you work, Bob?)
Bob: Yo trabajo en un tienda de… bookos. (I work at a bookstore- forgetting the word for books and using Guesspañol instead)

Get the Guesspañol mug.A certain genre of live-action or animated movie that takes place on coral reefs, typically featuring humans who can breathe underwater. Often, the humans keep marine animals as pets or mounts and have interior decor featuring parts of marine life, such as coral heads and shark jaws.
Examples of Reefcore movies include Aquaman, Luca, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and the live-action Little Mermaid.

Get the Reefcore mug.A so-called “Chinese restaurant” where almost everything on the entire menu is fried. The owner of a Frynese place is rarely ever actually Chinese, nor are the majority of the clientele.
If you don’t mind getting the runs afterwards, you can find Frynese restaurants in virtually any town, regardless of size. Their menu consists of fried pork, fried chicken, fried beef, fried fish, fried shrimp, fried squid, fried vegetables for those trying to eat healthy, fried rice, and fried fries. The only clue that this is even supposed to be a Chinese restaurant is that they have soy sauce and sweet and sour sauce instead of ketchup and mayo. The menu probably isn’t even in Mandarin. And a fortune cookie which they’d fry if they could.
