Virgin Suicides's definitions
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?

Get the looking for mr. goodbar? mug.aself-entitled authoritarian / martinet who, due to social standing, educational attainment or professional status, tells anyone and everyone what's good for them, whether the targeted audience cares to listen or not.
Most Fox Television News commentators and their right-wing Republican acolytes are professional scold(s); always yapping away about the moral anarchy and cultural breakdown of the country, the schools, the community, the family, et al, ad nauseum. Is anyone listening to them anymore ?

Get the sky pappy mug.any individual, family, group, or other association of persons who has lost economic, financial, political and social status either suddenly or over a longer period of time.
1. The Winchesters were once the most prominent family in town. But due to bad luck, poor judgement, financial catastrophe and inheritance taxes, they are now, like most everyone else, nobodies. They have become downwardly mobile.
2. The Big Three automobile manufacturers (Chrysler, Ford, General Motors) of Detroit, MI were once the titans of American industry back in the mid-twentieth century. But newer technologies (the internet, the computer laptop, the iPhone, et al), newer regions (Silicon Valley, Wall Street, SunBelt, et al) and other economic, political and social changes have rendered them to the proverbial back-of-the-bus. The Big Three - and Detroit, MI - have become downwardly mobile.

Get the downwardly mobile mug.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.

Get the Fox News mug.any woman with a pair of large, teflon-like, impregnable tits. Not always pretty to look at or even flattering to the figure, but could easily open a revolving door all by themselves, serve as durable floating devices for a small navy, and might even kick your ass if they were used as boxing gloves.
Yow ! Mother of all fucks, look at the flambos on that chicky across the street! Thrilla in Manilla !!!
