downside of street cred

selling your soul to try to please some imagined audience
he bought the shoes and shirt but wasn't accepted so he found out about the downside of street cred.
Diluted standards and lowest common denominators are the dirty open secret of the downside of street cred.

Birmingham

aka Brom, Brummagem, etc
a historical English city of great import that often gets a bad rap.
Queen of the West Midlands, King of the Hill, and you can fly out of there, too.
I grew up in the Bull Ring in Birmingham, so people think I talk funny.
They named a town in Alabama after my city, so there is a Brom in the New World, too.

box head

A Swede.
The original box heads were Swedes, and others such as Albanians or Russians are merely Johnny-come-latelys to the group.
Have you ever noticed how Swedes have heads shaped like boxes? That must be why they are called box heads.
D'oh.

I drive a boxy Volvo because I am a box head.

Minnesota

dreary, boring, insect-infested state populated by people that mangle pronunciation of common words.
Prone to clueless politicians and misguided social programs that induce children to run away from home.
Almost as bad a state as Wisconsin.
I got transferred to Minnesota so I quit my job and started drinking.
Everyone I ran into in St. Paul was a box head.

Tommy Trojan

Mascot for the University of Spoiled Children, often seen mincing and prancing along the sidelines bow-legged at the LA Coliseum after having been reamed by some alumnus.
Tommy Trojan enjoys taking it up the ass from anyone, especially alumni that have USC bumper stickers.

Targét

the correct way to spell Target if you want to pretend that it is a French store, or at least not too low class, like saying Jacques Pennay for JC Penney. A store that is perceived to be slightly upscale from WalMart.
I see that you are a Targét snob since you won't shop at WalMart.
I got these nifty plastic doodads over at Targét.
I drove over from the trailer park to Targét to get some new Depends because mine were worn out.
I find the hot girls shop at Targét and they are looking to hook up with dudes, but get your shots first...

Narrow Boat

a canal boat used in the wonderful waterways of England, and other European countries.
Often used as a floating residence, notably by the hippies in Amsterdam in their not-so-narrow variations. If you want a change of scenery, untie the line and motor away through the locks.
We went on holiday for three weeks through the Midlands canals in our narrow boat and hit every pub along the way. Ian only beached it twice and Catherine was quite accommodating to help relaunch.
My mate moors his narrow boat in France and keeps a bicycle on board for jaunts through the countryside. He has logged over 10,000 km in the last three years.
