Pronto Toronto

Share definition
The Canadianized expression for In a New York Minute, Pronto Toronto means the same thing: make it snappy, chop chop, skiddaddle, hurry the hell up, shake what your mother gave you

or in a nanosecond.
Irene (stuck in a Timmy’s drive thru for 15 minutes): “I’d like a medium Dark Roast coffee, black with two sweeteners and a 12-grain bagel, toasted with light butter. And, for God’s sake, make it Pronto Toronto because I’m already late for work!”

Paki

Share definition
One of the most offensive words in the English language, this is a racial/ethnic slur against people of East Indian, Pakistani, Afghani or Sri Lankan descent among others. Also used against brown people in general, this word is proof of the user’s ignorance and stupidity.
MAGAT: Go back to where you came from, you dumb Paki!

Targeted Person: I was born here, you dumb hick.

MAGAT: Well, you sure don’t look American.

Targeted Person: And, you do? This country is made of immigrants.

MAGAT: Well, you haven’t said one intelligent thing this morning.

Targeted Person: I’ve had it with this. I’m calling HR.

Pretty Womaned

Share definition
When you go to an expensive or prestigious store, college, club or hair salon and get snubbed or patronized because of how you look. People who look like bums, hookers, hicks (think Hee Haw) and trailer trash are frequently targeted; also, people of color and indigenous groups.
Ida Lee, who grew up in a trailer park outside Palookaville, was an honor student and cheer captain. She went to an Ivy League college on full scholarship, but the snobby students and profs Pretty Womaned her, saying that she wasn’t smart enough for university.

Elaine, a taxi driver who moonlights at an art gallery, goes to a fancy hair salon - and gets Pretty Womaned, leaving the place looking like Ronald McDonald.

LaShawn and Supinder go to Holt Renfrew, only to be Pretty Womaned by a snotty clerk. They were told that Value Village had a yellow tag sale. (LaShawn and Supinder could afford Holt Renfrew, but they’re people of color).

Skellies

Share definition
I’m going to scare the shit out of those trick or treaters this Halloween. My yard will be littered with talking skellies, pop-up zombies, tombstones and cackling witches.

Then, those Reese’s peanut butter cups will be mine. Brouhaha!

Freedum

Share definition
The right to be stupid in a Trumpian GOP’s little world.
Fake Patriot: I don’t have to wear my seatbelt and keep my kids in the backseat. I know my First Amendment rights.

Real Patriot: No, dummy! You’re practicing your freedum, the right to be stupid.

Fake Patriot: I’m going to sue you! I know my First Amendment rights.

Real Patriot: Yeah, the right to get your kids and yourself killed?

Fake Patriot: MAGA!

Gong Show

Share definition
1. Title of a schlocky 1970s syndicated series starring Chuck Barris and featuring the dubious talents of Gene Gene The Dancing Machine, The Unknown Comic and many others.

2. A group of stupid, incompetent and/or crooked people, doing stuff that would get them fired from most other places.

3. A situation where anything that could go wrong does.
The Gong Show turned your brains into mush in a half hour.

The whole fucking place is a gong show, nobody knows what they are doing.

The party last night was one big gong show. The DJ played The Carpenters, we had nothing but stale Cheetos and warm beer, and we watched Gigli on TV. We should have stayed home!

Horn Dog

Share definition
A sexual predator (think Harvey Weinstein, Donald Trump, Roger Ailes or Matt Lauer) who keeps a respectable or high-profile job. But, of course, it only takes one (or, several) to blow their cover.
I can’t believe that anyone thinks that horn dog would make a good President. He boasts on TV about grabbing women by their pussy.

#MeToo has exposed all the horn dogs sniffing around Hollywood.

That horn dog should be in jail, not promoted.
