set

Short for "television set". (or TV set). You know, that thing you watch when you're just chilling out at home.

Frequently spews forth dismal reports on the state of the world, pop-culture airhead fluff (such as reality shows), and who can forget the soaps.
"There's only one set, so whatever you watch, you know I have to watch it too."
-- Weird Al, "The Brady Bunch"

Turn on the d*mn set! Hey, where's the remote???

"Yeah, I heard. What a bucket!"

Adult Alternative

Adult Alternative; See "Adult Contemporary".

This is basically the same stuff as Adult Contemporary.

Again, these are watered-down blah tunes for those who wish to think they're just too darn mature to listen to some good music and/or are afraid of offending someone by playing something more hip.

Can be viewed on VH1 or heard on your local easy-listening station.

The musicians of Adult Alternative bands are said by some to be down-to-earth individuals who dress modestly and are the kind you'd run into in a supermarket.

Sad...
Bands such as Coldplay, U2, Nickleback, Lifehouse, Maroon 5, Dave Matthews Band, etcetera fall under the Adult Alternative genre.

These bands and this music are NOT to be confused with actual genre known as "Alternative," nor should it be confused with Grunge or Indie music.

ring check

A ring check is quickly glancing at the fingers of potential girls (or guys, I suppose) to see if they're already spoken for.

You should be looking for a wedding ring or an engagement ring. Though lack of a ring doesn't mean they're single, at least there might be some hope for you.
Guy: "Damn, she's hot. I'm gonna ask her out."
Friend: "Don't bother, I just did a ring check - she's married."
Guy: "Oh well..."

worthless

A person, or people who (if you really think about it) have little or no purpose in society. Such people are non-productive but do have the "job" of continuing the trend of white trash in this country.

Worthless people are present in both genders.

If you encounter such people, show some pity, while remaining secure in the knowledge that you're a lot better off - well, hopefully.
Worthless people are:
Macho guys, of the sit-at-home-and-watch-spike-tv-all-day variety, drive gas-guzzling pickup trucks but still can't seem to get a job. When they finally do become employed, it often tends to be construction work, or perhaps working at Safeway.

Girls who don't finish high school but instead get married to said guys and start popping out kids at 19. Some will eventually get their GED and sometimes take advantage of university of phoenix (or other loser online achools).

skipper

Short and sweet, A skipper is someone who skips class.

A slacker.

It could also be used for work, but it is most often used for class.
Dave's being such a skipper...he's not been in class lately.
