manly kiss

The week after Bill Belichick was fined for cheating, quarterback Tom Brady and defenseman Teddy Bruschi gave their coach a manly kiss after the game, in a 'Hey coach, you've had a tough week, have a manly kiss' way.

Cloudy

Computer files that are backed up online, or in the cloud. If a file is cloudy, then there is no need to worry about losing the copy on the computer.

My computer crashed while I was working on my term paper for my history class. At first, I was worried. Then I remembered that I had uploaded a copy to Dropbox, so the paper was cloudy.
