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."

This is a periphrastic way of referring to William Shakespeare's play "Macbeth," a device sometimes used by actors to avoid referring to the play by name, because of the supposed bad luck that it might bring if it is referred to by name. Likewise, the protagonist and his wife are referred to as"Mr. and Mrs. M."

A teasing 'game' or activity in which two or more people collaborate to seize someone's possession, tossing it to each other to prevent the owner from getting it back. This 'game' has been played for generations in New Orleans and is pronunced 'pos-say.'
Heather and Robert ripped off my bikini top and tossed it back and forth, saying "passez" with each toss.

This is a small but important genre of film that fits all of the forms of the classic film noir, but is set in a bleak, impoverished Appalachian setting. This type of film features corruption, crime, moral ambiguity, a hero in conflict, and a mysterious woman. In many of them, moonshining or bootlegging or some other indigenous Southern form of unlawful activity is featured.
Robert Mitchum's "Thunder Road" and Gregory Peck's "I Walk the Line" are two very important examples of the hillbilly film noir.

Mucophagy is the act of consuming nasal mucus accumulations, generally as an accompaniment to rhinotillexomania.

The Perky effect, in psychology, refers to the process by which visual mental imagery is thought to interefere with visual perception. For example, if a person is instructed to project by imagination a tomato or a banana on a while screen, an a faint image of a tomato or banana is projected, the person may not be able to tell the difference between the real image and that which was imagined. Cheves W. Perky did the pioneering research on this back in 1910. This is the first meaning of the Perky effect.
There is another meaning: the Perky effect is what happens when you go braless on a cold day.
