runner-runner

(adj) Describes the way a hand won in Texas Hold'em Poker if the turn (fourth) and river (fifth) cards saved it from losing.

That river rat -- all he had were rags til he caught that runner-runner flush on the board.

Oh man, what a chaser. He calls my all-in with a double gut-shot, then gets a runner-runner straight on the river. Unbelievable.

you better

Same as "you should", though it can be use for any subject (I, he, she, we, it, they). Implies advice or warning. Common in the southern US, this phrase has been shortened down from:

You would be better off if you...
You would be better to ...
You'd be better...
You'd better...
You better...

Sometimes as a threat, a person will mistakingly say "you had better...", but the correct uncontracted version is "would" not "had".

You better get started on that paper if it's gonna be done by Monday.

You better be in this house when the street lights come on.

You better put them trash cans up on the porch, so's the dogs ain't gettin in 'em.

sixth sense

This movie's ending was shocking to so many viewers it became the prime example for people who prefer to not spoil the ending of a movie or book by knowing how it ends. Most people refer to this movie in terms of whether they knew the ending or not.

"Harry Potter 6 is the next Sixth Sense."

"La la la la ... I don't want to know the ending! My bitch-ass brother always Sixth-Senses me and I've been avoiding him until Sunday."

"Dude, don't pull a Sixth Sense on me -- I don't want any spoilers."

business casual friday

In formal business environments, employees are allowed to wear business casual clothes instead of suits on this last day of the work week. Sometimes given a theme, it is intended to alleviate stress and bolster employee morale.

In smaller companies where business casual is worn every day, this day should be called just "Casual Friday" when lower-quality clothes are allowed.

When in doubt, it is better to overdress than to wear clothes too casual, so as not to be reprimanded by the suits.

formal > business formal > business casual > casual

Business casual: Sweater, collar without a necktie, polo, vendor swag, blouse, black/brown/navy/gray trousers, pressed khakis.

Casual: Dockers, denim jeans, shorts, t-shirts, linen.
