adam's ale

Water. A tongue-in-cheek joke derived from the creation story in the Bible. Adam was the first man in the Garden of Eden; he lived a pure lifestyle in communion with God. Before the fall, he was unclothed an eating just fruits and vegetables in the garden, therefore the only thing to drink was water.
Bartender: "So you're on the wagon? Well we've got some fine Adam's Ale on tap for you."

glamazon

a woman with an overdeveloped sense of beauty, glamour, and fashion. Akin to a beauty warrior or fashion police, a glamazon worships glamour and can be belligerent toward anyone who does not share the same sensibility.
"and then she uninvited me to the party because I didn't wear earrings to the gym!"

What a glamazon! She needs to get real!

provincial

describing people who only care about eating, sleeping, making money, and owning crap. Very unimaginative, uncultured people with no concept of the arts, history, language, faith, travel, or why any those things should be valued. Has not visited a library or museum since the 7th grade. Doesn't know the name of a bluebird (really). Like Mr. Banks in Mary Poppins, they "can't see past the end of their nose".

6-year burnout

The amount of time it takes for young inspired teachers to reach complete burnout in American public schools. This is largely due to standardized lesson plans and tests, inept administration, being worked overtime with poor pay, and students and parents who don't care.
New Teacher: "If I can just reach one student today, I will have done a good job"

6-year burnout teacher: "Jason, I'm sick of your attitude. Turn in your test and get out of my classroom!"

6-year burnout teacher: "Class, instead of having you read Julius Caesar, and me teach you about it, we are just going to watch a portion of the movie to cram for the EOG test."

Egg Money

Money stashed away for buying little pleasure or home items. Extra side money earned just for fun spending.
I'm using the egg money I earned on the side from ebay to buy the surf board I always wanted.

Farming women would earn "butter and egg money" from their poultry to be used for clothing, shoes, extra treats like white sugar or oranges, and anything store-bought for the home. Men would use crop money to pay the mortgage, or buy livestock or seed for next year.
