rich forty

The belief that rich people, due to having money and time to take care of their appearance, look ten years younger (or more) to middle-class people. "Rich forty" is "middle-class thirty."

"You won't fit in. My friends are all in their early thirties."

"Well, remember: I'm rich forty."

Starcraft in Korea

A term of comparison used to describe something that is normally nerdy or uncool, but in a certain place is popular and may get you laid. Derived from how the computer game Starcraft is hugely popular and televised in South Korea, and its best players are treated as celebrities.

Being a Spock lookalike is no field trip. Except in trekkie conventions. Then it's like Starcraft in Korea.

undead pendulum

The tendency for pop culture to swing back and forth between vampires and zombies; when one becomes uncool (vampires via Twilight), the other becomes cool (zombies). The pendulum swings over the course of several years.

Everything is saturated with zombies. I'm tired. Call me when the undead pendulum swings again.
