loser's bracket

1. the sub-grouping within a competitive tournament whereby those who suffer their first loss are demoted to a pool of similar types who have suffered a like fate; one more defeat in this category renders the unfortunate complete elimination from the field.
2. a common perception that certain individuals are moving through their respective lives already having suffered some type of major defeat (or many smaller ones), thereby rendering them to a decidedly less than ideal existence.
Look at Joe : he attended all the wrong schools thereby acquiring all the wrong type of friends; this precipitated choosing the wrong type of occupation and marrying the wrong type of girl. Now he's in the wrong type of neighborhood with the wrong type of kids. Joe could be said to be existing in the loser's bracket of life.

wreck your world

hyperbolic, highly intense interjection often used at the end of a heated argument between two people (usually intimate partners) in the hope of one person trumping the insult just previously mouthed by the other.
Man : You KNOW I wasn't with Christine last night. I was at Bill's helping him repair his garage door !
Woman : The hell you were ! Donna told me this morning she SAW the both of you at Starbucks last night around 9 p.m. !
Man : Hell if I was !! She's a goddam liar and you KNOW it !!
Woman : Do NOT call my best friend a liar !! I'll call your boss and tell him how you embezzled $2000 from the company till last month !!
Man : Oh REALLY ? Well I'll call your mother and tell her how much of an alcoholic you've become in the last six weeks !!!
Woman : Don't you threaten me, you sonofabitch !!! I'll fuck you up good !!!
Man : Yeah ? And I'll wreck your world !!!

landscraper

ugly, one-story building(s) that takes up one whole city block (or more) by sprawling out horizontally instead of vertically, like traditional skyscrapers.
Man, that glass and steel filing cabinet of a building that the county government has been using for years - that thing is a damn landscraper !

downmarket debutante

glorified, formal name for any trailer trash hussy, skanky crack whore or downwardly mobile street prostitute who feigns class, taste and style despite appearances to the contrary.
Courtney Love, if she wasn't a talented musician, singer, and songwriter, could be construed as a downmarket debutante.

looking for mr. goodbar?

Older, pop culture phrase referencing the 1977 film of the same name starring Diane Keaton. Used to describe a (still) all too common cultural phenomenon and stereotype, whereupon entering a local watering hole, one spots a noticeably middle aging female who, without asking her, one can already glean the following details :

1. she's endlessly looking for a new job or career;

2. she's incessantly looking for a new romantic partner (or the next good lay she can drum up);

3. she's constantly looking for the next place to live (in the immediate vicinity or ANYWHERE for that matter);

4. she's perpetually looking for that 'next big thing' she can't name or describe (and obviously hasn't found yet and, like a character out of a Fitzgerald or Richard Yates novel, probably never will - 'where ARE all those golden people in that golden place ?');

in a phrase, she's a female sad bastard. She's looking for mr. goodbar.
There's Jane - again - blonde hair and blue-eyed, sitting at the bar, martini or glass of wine in hand and that all too familiar look on her face; an expression that evokes a thousand words, phrases and even questions but can be succinctly boiled down to the following : what's the matter, hon ? looking for mr. goodbar?
