When a Chinaman creates something that looks legit on the surface, but has no real substance in reality. Examples include renovating only the front facade of an otherwise crumbling building, or baby formula that is laced with melanine (which causes kidney stones and/or death) to boost the protein content when tested for nutrition. Done to look good on paper, but with detrimental results.
Vince: Hey man, you bought a Nintendo Wii?
Robert: No, it's a Vii. Comes preloaded with games. And the controller's a Handybar, not a Wiimote. But it costs only 1/5 as much as the Nintendo.
Vince: What a Chinese front. The graphics look worse than a NES..
As Jason rinsed his eggplant in the sink, the water suddenly turned dark purple. At that point, he realized that the eggplant had actually been spray-painted at the supermarket. Jason had just fallen victim to a Chinese front.
The Caucasian CEO of the electronics firm gave a great keynote speech at the business convention. Unfortunately, he was actually a paid actor. The firm decided to pull this Chinese front to fool investors into thinking it was European.
Neil: Why is that Nokia in the display so cheap?
Ted: Look carefully. It's a NokLa. And what's a Z97? It's a Chinese front!

Also known as SDE for short.
A person (usually a guy) who either a) has no friends, or b) shields his friends from others all the time. If you meet one of these people, you won't be making any "friends of friends" through them anytime soon, no matter how hard you try or how many years pass. If the SDE is dating someone steadily, you won't even know her name until after they break up.
A SDE will especially shield contacts of the opposite sex, even if they have no chance with them, for fear their friends will "steal their girl/guy". If they're in a steady relationship, they still shield because a) they're still afraid someone (including you) will try to steal her/him away, or b) the SO is nothing to be proud of (ie a fugly ditch pig or pork chop). When a SDE brings out a contact of the opposite sex, it's almost always an ex, or someone he/she tried and failed to get with. Meanwhile, the SDE will have no problem asking you to introduce more girls/guys to him/her regularly. If you do it's a one-way street.
If you are stuck in a social circle full of SDEs, you must find some non-SDEs on your own, as your friends sure as hell won't be helping in this department.
Engineers and Computer Programmers come to mind.

Ted left all those SDE engineers after grad, and last time he checked they were all still hanging out and dating in the same incestuous pool called "ultimate".
After knowing Vic for 4 years, Sam only knew of some girls he tried to get with, but not by name. At that point Sam realized he'd wasted 4 years of his life hanging with a social dead end.

Acronym for "Same Question Different Interview". Pronounced "squiddy".
Represents the same (sometimes retarded) questions that some job applicants repeatedly encounter, by hiring managers who think they're being original.
Frequently encountered by anyone who either has a gap in their resume, or is trying to switch career fields or roles. Also encountered more during a recession.

Manager: So.. what did you do last year? *points to gap in resume*
Ted: My industry was laying people off and nobody could get a job.
Manager: Oh I see.. so, why are you applying for this position? It's different from your last job and you don't have the right experience..
Ted: *facepalm* (SQDI again!? Are you kidding me!? 5th time this month..)

Dining where the word "value" cannot be used in any meaningful way.
Often done by yuppies who think throwing money away on bite-sized entrees is the definition of class, or those who think that being seen in such establishments will get them the woman/man of their dreams, or a large promotion at work.
Douche dining may be done by the truly wealthy aka 1%, but unfortunately the majority are those who also wear fake LV purses (or simply Coach).
Douche dining checklist:
1) The name of the restaurant contains the name of some celebrity chef.
2) The place has some kind of dress code. No jeans and runners here.
3) The waitresses and half the female customers wobble when walking in their high-heels.
4) The inside of the establishment is painted black, and/and the lighting is so dim you can barely read the menu.
5) Each dish is smaller than a softball, and contains some ingredients you've never heard of, from some part of the world you've also never heard of. Extra points if the ingredient comes from an endangered animal or plant.
6) Each dish is completely covered with the chef's fingerprints.
7) The final bill is over $40 after drinks, taxes, and tips. Bonus points if you break $80 a head.
8) You leave hungry, and seriously consider picking up a Big Mac or Whopper on the way home.
If all conditions were met, you have just officially douche dined. Congratulations, you are officially a douche. Frame that receipt. We have a winner!

The receptionist seems to be doing a lot of douche dining recently. Guess the boss really likes her performance in bed.
Diana was all about the douche dining, even though she had never cracked $12 an hour in her life. Now if only she could find a rich husband..
For some, the desire to douche dine for 10 years outweighs the ability to purchase a future dwelling in the next 20 years.
See that girl over there? She doesn't even know which fork to use first. I hope her date at least gets some poon out of the deal.
Irene celebrated her pay day with a weekend of douche dining, followed by 2 weeks of living on food stamps.
