Carbon monoxide

What somebody is going to breathe instead of oxygen if you stick their head next to an exhaust pipe intentionally.

If a guy has a knee on his neck while his head is right near an exhaust pipe of a car, he has nothing to take in but car exhaust. Just like somebody sitting in a garage with the grage door closed and a car running. Death is from both lack of oxygen and carbon monoxide.

Nipple

A body part you've never seen a female go to jail for showing, and if you did it would likely be on an episode of cops, or for show if it was real life.

There's a reason females in America don't show their nipples like a lot of females near the equator do, it has more to do with how people are conditioned socially than a reality where females will start getting locked up for it. Males aren't usually showing any nipples unless its hot outside or they're at the beach. There are many places in public a male is likely to be asked to leave if he has no shirt on at the least, if he doesn't end up in jail. A female would be unlikely to go to jail for breastfeeding in a park, though there would likely be social stigma to go with it, which is what really deters most females from choosing the park as a breastfeeding spot, its thought of as a strange place to breastfeed. Though the same applies to shirtless males in most parks. Where's the double standard females are complaining about?

Credit

Something many entertainers get endless amounts of for any amount of work they do. There are enough people in the world who wouldn't want to live in a world without movies/music/tv, there are also many people who either seem to worship entertainers, or try to get other people to do so. They're powerful people, but they are just people at the end of the day.

He/she sure does get plenty of credit for any amount of work they put in to what they do, he/she also tends to get credit for each gesture they make to others.

Introverted extrovert

There's no such thing as an introverted extrovert. A person who describes himself/herself as an introverted extrovert does so to keep people who don't know he/she is really an introvert from knowing that he/she is not the extrovert some people think he/she is.

Lindsay had found empowerment in convincing people around her she was an open extrovert since she was young, though she had always been an introvert. She would describe herself to other people as an introverted extrovert to keep from losing people who remained close to her that thought she was really an extrovert, since she couldn't handle being alone. She even pretended to be there for other people her entire life for the same reason, she couldn't handle being alone. It never really mattered to her how much damage was done to other people's lives, as long as she didn't end up alone herself, everything would be okay in her mind.

Impossible

Not likely and not possible are two different things.

If you go by what is likely, you'll get discouraged to the point you start to think that things that are not impossible are impossible.

Urban camping

Being physically homeless for a few hours or days without being technically homeless. Your body has no place to go but you do have a home somewhere, it doesn't have to be in a city to end up going urban camping, you might live in the country.

Billy has been urban camping for a few days now, he knows he can get a cheap tent at wal mart, that boy is a damn fool. He ought to pay attention to the bus schedules so he wouldn't end up in the woods like that.

Tough

An image too many full of shit people in the world go for, especially the ones that think the world is full of innocent bystanders.

The dork tried to look, sound, and act tough and insensitive every waking minute of her day, even though some of us knew her as a kid, and saw how she handled/bore physical pain when there was no attention from the media or public to be had. Back when her mother was the one she ran to for attention and first aid.
