The Chickens Are Revolting 's definitions
A character-type that appears in Cyberpunk. Razor Girls are basically action-heroines, usually with the sexiness and badassedry cranked up to the Nth degree.
The name comes from the original razor girl, Molly, of William Gibson's cyberpunk novel "Neuromancer" (often considered the original cyberpunk book). Molly is referred to as a "razor girl" and a "steppn' razor" by other characters, due to the retractable razor claws she has stored under her fingernails (to name only one of her badass cyborg upgrades).
Other examples of razor girls include Trinity from "The Matrix;" Major Kusanagi of "Ghost in the Shell;" Avalon and Lea Prism of the novel "Hammerjack;" and the lead characters of "Barb Wire," "Aeon Flux," and "Ultraviolet."
Mind you, a razor girl is not just any awesome female character who happens to be in a cyberpunk story. She has to meet that level of viciousness and badass. Rachel from "Blade Runner" is a fantastic character and a strong woman, but she is not a fighter, and thus is not a razor girl. Same goes for Shiloh, Blind Mag, and all the other awesome-but-not-action-fighter girls from "Repo: The Genetic Opera!" Neal Stephenson's Y.T., despite being one of the most awesome characters in all of fiction, never mind cyberpunk, also just barely misses to meet the criteria, since her shtick is more about escaping and dodging danger than confronting bad guys head-on.

"What the hell do you mean 'The Matrix' isn't cyberpunk? It's got all the tropes you need--the virtual reality, the black leather, the sunglasses, the hacker heroes, the evil corporate dudes, and the razor girls!"

Get the Razor Girlmug. 1.) The female equivalent of an asshole. This can be an insult or a compliment, depending on the context.
2.) To whine
3.) A subservient person, especially in a sexual situation.
4.) A female dog
5.) An abstract expression that Dave Chappelle often uses to start or end a sentence.

"That cashier didn't smile. What a bitch!"
"Oh stop bitching. She was just tired."
"Yeah, and besides, being a cashier sucks. You're basically the customer's bitch, until they leave the store."
"Speaking of which, that bitch I was dog-sitting for is pregnant! We're trying to find homes for all the puppies."
"I'm Rick James, bitch!"

Get the Bitchmug. A woman who cannot accept that her children aren't children anymore. She refuses to get a job, hobby, social life, or anything that might define herself apart from her role as "mom." She is up her teenage or adult children's assess 24/7, throwing tantrums when she doesn't get the attention or praise she expects, and wonders why her kids leave the room when she arrives, move out of town when they grow up, and rarely call.
"I hate my home. My mom is always there, screaming at me for spilling milk or not having the right tone of voice."
"Don't you at least have some times when she's not home? Doesn't she work or anything?"
"No, she's a home maker."
"Don't you at least have some times when she's not home? Doesn't she work or anything?"
"No, she's a home maker."

Get the Home makermug. The divine pantheon of all things Hippie.
Consists of:
- John Lennon: the God of Social Commentary and Hard Drugs
- Paul McCartney: God of Vegetarianism and Strawberries
- George Harrison: the God of Meditation and Sunshine
- Ringo Starr: the God of Peace, Love and Sentient Locomotives
According to the Ancient Hippie Mythology, John Lennon hatched from an egg laid by the Walrus, and guitared the rest of the universe into existence. In an eternal strawberry field, he watered a stereo-box for number-nine days and number-nine nights, until the stereo box hatched, and out climbed Paul McCartney. George Harrison was likewise formed from a drop of sun. But the Band longed for a bloody good drummer. Then, an octopus laid an egg that was hatched under a steam engine, and Ringo Starr was born.
Devout followers of Beatlemania will be rewarded in the afterlife, ferried by Mr. Conductor to the Yellow Submarine, which will take them to their eternal home of Pepperland. Sinners, however, will be rounded up by th *other* Mr. Conductor (Alec Baldwin) and shipped off to the sh*tty TV cartoon's universe to spend eternity in agony.

Get the Beatlesmug. A male who expects a female to accept his romantic advances simply because he is "nice," and is angered when she does not.
Possible causes for this phenomenon:
1.) He views romance as a prize he is entitled to, like his allowance, as long as he behaves himself.
2.) He thinks all women are the same dainty, smiling, flower-picking Disney princess, who want nothing more in a man than giant smiles, polite chit-chat, poetry readings, and doors held opened for them. He does not understand that women are individuals.
3.) He has a mental disability that encourages girls to put on a super-nice act around him, as they would around a child. He mistakes this for their real personality, and thinks they are really getting to know each other and clicking, when...no. (This one's pretty tragic, and no one's fault, really.)
4.) He's a really bad actor, so even girls who DO want a "nice, sensitive guy" can see right through his crap.
5.) He is a genuinely nice guy, but only goes for hot girls he has nothing in common with...while complaining that girls always go for the "wrong" guy.
6.) A closeted homosexual or transsexual, who has discovered how conveniently the "nice guy" motif can cover up his secret. ("I'm just not a man's man!") This can leave a bad impression on the girl, after she learns the truth. She may become so paranoid, that if the next guy she dates cheats on her with another woman, she may break into a joyful jig, exclaiming, "My boyfriend is straight!"

"I am so finished with dating nice guys! Next time a guy tries to pick me up in a sparkely blue prius, I'm not going on the date."

Get the Nice Guymug. The current politically correct term for mentally handicapped people. However, by the time this definition is finished being typed, "differently abled" will likely be a "slur" and the new PC term will be something even more vague.
"People with Down Syndrome are not 'disabled,' they're differently abled! And this has nothing to do with political correctness; simply understanding and clarity."
"I beg your pardon, but I don't appreciate you calling people like my son 'differently abled.' They are no more 'different' than any usual person. This is an offensive slur and needs to stop. Spread the word to end the D-word!"
