Menship

"Menship" refers to the bond close male friends share. (Compare to "Femship") Friends is a broad term that can sometimes describe an acquaintance, a ride or die or anything in between. Menship indicates the depth of the relationship, and differentiates between a man and a guy who is a casual friend and a man and a guy who is his "brother from another mother".

It's an empowering term for men to publicly and proudly acknowledge their love and strong bond with the friend they consider "my boy" or "my man" without being overly vulnerable. (We know vulnerability can be hard.)
International Men's Day, should not only celebrate men, it should encourage men to celebrate their menship.

Friends come and go, so bid bon voyage to friendship, we been boys from yay low, this is a menship . (BARS!!!!)

Kooey

Kooey is an adjective that means cute, but more than describing appearance it also describes the nature, temperament and/or personality of who/what is being described, and the feeling seeing them evokes. Kooey encompasses the overall endearing nature of anyone or anything that is cute, happy and loveable.
We just rescued a puppy from the shelter, his name is Bam, he's black and brown and kooey all over!

Look at his chubby, dimpled cheeks and gummy smile, such a kooey baby!

Ian doesn't like being called cute, but look at him playing with the kids, he's just so kooey!

Ten-Zone

It's when an oblivious 10 sees herself as like a 5, (e.g. the girl-next-door type) rates a hot guy a 10, and thinks he'll only date 10s, and never give her the time of day...so she doesn't give him the time of day.
Jade: Yeah well, there's more nerd in your 'hot nerd' than there is hot. Just ask her out.

Tom: She wouldn't even give me a chance to show her I'm a super nerd. She doesn't even talk to me. She put me in the ten-zone because I'm too cute. It's so unfair, why am I so unlucky?! I just wanna play Dungeons & Dragons with her.

Damn these symmetrical features and strong jawline.

Mic Flop

This is the opposite of a mic drop. It's when some does or says something in a public forum, thinking it will be a quintessential mic drop moment, but it comes off awkward, reeking of Fremdschämen (secondhand embarrassment), and is just an epic fail. Depending on the person/forum/action, instead of applause or renown, there's backlash or ridicule.

A prime example is the Kanye West / Taylor Swift incident (or many of the things he says or does these days actually.). A recent example is Katy Perry's foray into space which she expected to be a huge triumph but has been a total fiasco.
The best man thought he was being clever but that 'Man. Bear. Pig.' joke in front of the groom's new wife and in-laws was a total mic flop.

The way the boxer bragged about his skills no one would have expected a TKO in the first 30 seconds. Talk about a mic flop moment.

Jenelope: Big Red lied and schemed to sabotage Isis, but she still didn't win!
Lafred: Did you see her face when they called our name?

Lava: Record scratch!
All: Mic flop!!!!
