Mardi Gras bead flash

A custom which originated in New Orleans, but has traveled easily elsewhere, where a young woman displays her boobs (breasts) for Mardi Gras glass bead necklaces.

Tomorrow is Mardi Gras: I will give a Mardi Gras bead flash with my exquisite minatures to the Burbocam as is my custom; after all, I am proud to be a New Orleanian and keep to our historical rights. Blank Katrina!

Where ya at?

A common greeting used by New Orleanians, converying pleasure upon seeing a friend, especially one that has not been seen for a while, more than a request for location. It's an effusive hello.

When I see my friends in New Orleans, we often say, "Where ya at?"

sweet Lolita

Sweet Lolita (or Ama Lolita) is a Japanese fashion type that is characterized by light-colored, modest, cute-appearing dress with a lot of lace and frills. This is typically limited to Japanese teen and young adult women, but rarely guys may adopt this style too. The true sweet Lolita (as contrasted with the Gothic Lolita) tends to favor white or pink base colors with floral embroidery and concentrate on looking as sweet and cute as possible. The fabric used may consist of not just solid colors but floral and fruit prints, resulting in an appearance that is extremely sweet and like Victorian little girls. The character Momoko in Kamikaze Girls (Shimotsuma Monogatari) is an example of someone who is the true sweet Lolita.

Sakura enjoyed modeling her sweet Lolita outfit in her promenade in town.

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.

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.

equine actuary

An equine actuary is a bookmaker: one who gives odds and accepts bets on horse races.

Crazy Chester was a well-reputed equine actuary in New Orleans. He could tell you who was running at any of the racetracks and their likely odds.
