granny bikini

This is the variant of the bikini swimsuit that was popular and considered daring in the mid-1960's, when the Beach Party movies were made starring Annette Funicello or the original version of Where the Boys Are. It consists of a full, often padded, bra and a short-shorts or skirted bottom, as opposed to the string bikini or the French cut bikini of later times. This term is usually used sarcastically to refer to the type of swimwear occasionally adopted by those who are excessively modest or who have very restrictive parents.

Jessica can only wear granny bikinis on the coast because her parents are professional hardshell Baptists.

righteousness orgasm

This is that warm and cosy feeling of self-congratulatory feeling of righteousness that accompanies ostantateous posturing for a socially approved cause or possessing conventional virtue.

Megan did not feel chilly, like an idiot, or like a slut despite wearing a homemade lettuce-leaf bikini in Raliegh; instead, she sustained several righteousness orgasms in feeling so superior to others less committed to her cause.

Duke of Marlborough effect

The “Duke of Marlborough Effect” was mentioned by Richard Dawkins to refer to the increase in masculine libido that results from experiencing a victory, whether directly or vicariously. This was so-named from an entry in the Duchess of Marlborough’s diary, “His Grace returned from the wars today and pleasured me twice in his top-boots.” Male athletes tend to experience elevated testosterone levels before a contest; those who win tend to maintain afterwards those elevated testosterone levels, but the testosterone levels of losers drops dramatically afterwards.

There will likely be a lot of canoodling in Old Boston now that the Red Sox have won the Series due to the Duke of Marlborough effect and the subsequent release of proper Bostonian inhibitions.

Parkinson's law

Parkinson's law is an administrative principle that states that work tends to expand in relation to the time available for its completion. From C. Northcote Parkinson, a professor of the University of Malaysia, who first wrote of this law. While Parkinson, like Laurence J. Peter, apparently wrote his book as a satire on administration, unfortunately it turned out to be true.

It's a sad rule of corporations, and universities are not exempt, that the administrative apparatus tends to expand with time. Unfortunately, this is accompanied by stasis in what is accomplished. Parkinson's law holds true.

Confederate flag bikini

An extremely provocative swim suit, both because of its brevity and its political subtext, based on the pattern of the Confederate Battle Flag. For example, depending on the wearer, it may be worn as a sexy yet ironic statement about the fabled Lost Cause, or as a literal affirmation of the wearer's Southern heritage. Obviously, the implicit message is necessarily subjective.

Its first known manifestation was one worn by Bridget Fonda in "Shag: The Movie." While some Southerners were offended by it, Southern sociologist and chronicler John Shelton Reed pronounced it to be "fetching."

The Confederate flag bikini is a crowd-pleaser among the NASCAR set.
