Couplandesque

Couplandesque (adj.) To be philosophical about pop culture; to view aspects of mass media and cultural consumption as trancendental; to find meaning in that which is normally viewed as shallow or mundane. Derived from the works of Douglas Coupland, wherein pop culture is analyzed and celebrated on a personal level.

Coca-Cola, Legos and McDonald's all in one film? How Couplandesque!

fauxternative

Kids who think they are cool and alternative when they are really not, and are just crap at life. These kids tend to sit around having "jam" sessions on their guitars, believe in socialism (when they really have no idea wtf it is), wear black nailpolish and have dreads, but on the inside are little mummy's boys who ain't hardcore. They also probably wear coloured underwear.

"God I was at this guys place the other day, and everyone there was totally fauxternative"

NB/ can be abbreviated to fauxtern

Grandfather clause

When a patron that isn't of legal drinking age enters an establishment before it transitions from restaurant status to bar/club status thus bypassing ID checks at the door.

Geoff: "Grant, let's all go celebrate your birthday at that new establishment and get you really drunk so your girlfriend can take full advantage of you."
Grant: "But my girlfriend isn't legal drinking age yet."
Geoff: "No worries, lets get there early and she can use the grandfather clause."
Grant: "That seems appropriate."
Kris: "People do that."
Nicole: "That makes sense."
Geoff: "I'm sure there's no science to support that."

Our team racked up the yellow cards this season.
