Iowa Eyes

Also Iowa Lamps or Greenhorns. The way rural newcomers and persons from the provinces stare for prolonged periods of time at urban dwellers, usually with a disbelieving, gawky incredulity. The gaze predictably derives not only from the usual unfamiliarity with the pace, rhythms and protocols of city life, but also an unmistakable unlettered and unsophisticated countenance and temperament.
Sari and I tend to avoid certain urban attractions moreso in the summer than other times of the year. Places like the arcade, central fountain and the boardwalk are simply not pleasurable with all those largely rural, out-of-town tourists out and about. They tend to stare at the locals with those Iowa Eyes or Lamps as if we were circus freaks or zoo animals.

Karen

A meme derived from a joke Dane Cook told sometime in the early 'teens or so. It went viral and since then, no parent in the western hemisphere would dare touch it as a possible name for their newborn daughter.
Young Girl : Mommy, why didn't you name me Karen ?
Mom : Dear, what's wrong with Deuteronomy Lips ? Is this a Boy Named Sue thing ?
Young Girl : No, it's not ! In fact, I happen to LOVE the name Karen ! I think I'm going to sue you and Dad both for not naming me properly ! Hah ! 😛
Mom : Oh, f****in' s**t, you are a Karen ! 😖😫🥵

Fox News

best narrative video fiction around, guaranteed to put you to sleep in a half hour or less, or your money back.
The other night, I was in the mood for some good narrative fiction. As I would be in bed within the hour, I thought maybe I would re-watch some of Welles 'Citizen Kane' or re-read portions of Twains ' The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn'. But as these are long time, beloved pieces of art to me and I needed something to put me to sleep quickly, I settled on watching Fox News. Good tranquilizer.

Uber Boobers

tits on a prostitute.

Uber, as used here, implies two things: the overly large, surgically enhanced aspects of the hooker's breasts and the wildly popular everyman taxi and ride share service, which like sex services, one has to pay for.
Sex Worker : Hey baby, like to 'ride' my Uber Boobers ? Want to squeeze them, suck on them, stick your dick between them ? Gonna cost you : $30 for the first half hour, $10 for for each 5 minute period after !

bspsi

abbreviation for bullshit per square inch. The United States usually outpaces the world in this category, especially so since Donald Trump discovered Twitter.
Message recently seen on t-shirt : Welcome To America. More bspsi Than Even North Korea. Just Wait - We're About To Start A War Over It.

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?
