skirt

In movies and books, a skirt is a female who serves as a romantic or sexual object to a straight male, usually to the protagonist, member of an ensemble cast, or the audience.

While Deanna Troi served as the skirt in TNG, she is a much more complex character.

jones

a verb that means to crave something strongly, usually said in a construct with a participle (e.g. "to be jonesing for") and often pronounced without the 'g' at the end (e.g. "to be jonesin' for").

Sometimes the "for" is foregone. Usually a phrase emphasizing being in the moment is included, such as "right now" for the present, or "at that time", "right then" for the past. In past, present or future constructions, when said in a negative construction "just yet" is also used occasionally.

I'm really jonesing for a coffee right now.
I'm really jonesin' a cigarette right now.
I just got over being sick for a week. I'd like to go to the concert, but I'm not jonesin' to be out in public just yet.

sex-and-the-citying

Walking on the sidewalk in a row instead of in a line, like people do on TV. It's particularly noticeable with Midwestern US tourists in East Coast cities, like New York, DC and Boston. People emulate what they see on TV especially Sex and the City rather than noticing the etiquette and block access for people trying to go around or walk in the opposite direction.

OMG could you please stop sex-and-the-citying it!
