Los Angeles County's cleaner, cheaper, less interesting, and less relevant neighbor to the north. Los Angeles County's relationship to Ventura County is a lot like the United States' relationship to Canada.
I needed a new camera, to I went up to one of those cheap pawn shops in Ventura County to get one for less than $50. What a bargain! Thanks Ventura County!

The only high school in Beverly Hills, California. Pretty much a dumping ground for everybody in the city who's own local high schools sucks, like most high schools in the city do, yet who actually care about getting a public education. One of if not the safest and best public high schools in the Los Angeles area.
In movies and TV shows, Beverly is usually portrayed as being full of preppy, rich Beverly Hills stereotype kids. This isn't necessarily true: anybody who has money goes to a private school, which means most of the kids who live in Beverly Hills don't even go to Beverly.
Also a popular place to go for kids who get kicked out of private school, sometimes more than once.

Person 1: Hey man, what school do you go to?
Person 2: I go to Beverly.*
Person 1: Oh, that's cool. Did you get kicked out of Harvard-Westlake?
Person 2: No, but my regular district school is Uni**, so I transferred to Beverly.
Person 1: Oh man, good choice.

** "Uni" is short for "University High School," another Los Angeles high school.

A general feeling of uncleanliness, sometimes used to suggest that somebody has an STD. Usually remedied by a good douching on the part of girls or possibly an enema for guys.

A type of photography invented by the Lomographic Association, a company founded in the early 90s in Austria to market the Lomo LC-A, a cheap Russian camera which the founders had discovered took strange, high-contrast photos that often featured vignetting (the focus goes soft and the image darkens around the edges).
Today Lomography is mainly used to describe the "art" of taking photos with a Lomographic camera, or any camera sold by the Lomographic Association (popular examples include the Fisheye, Lomo LC-A, and Holga). The term is also sometimes used to describe photography using any cheap or quirky cameras.
The Lomographic Society has come under very severe criticism for several points, the main one being that the company seems to sell cameras and photographic equipment for far, far more than it's worth. Notable examples include the Lomo LC-A itself, which was around $30 USD when the original Lomographers first purchased it, yet sells for around $250, or the new Diana+, an updated version of a camera that originally sold for $1 that is currently sold by Lomography for $50. The Lomographic Society also seems to emphasize wild experimentation with (expensive) film, which some point out might be a ploy to get consumers to purchase more film from the Lomographic Society themselves.
Recently (as in early 2007-ish), the Urban Outfitters chain of stores have begun to stock Lomographic cameras, giving the brand a much larger audience to cavort around green pastures snapping photos willy-nilly and calling it art.
(As much as I hate the Lomographic Society for their sales practices, I must admit that I do regularly use my Lomo LC-A, as well as my Holga and my Diana+. I also buy film from them very often. Hey, it's a mean business practice, but Lomography is fun as shit.)

Person 1: Hey, I just got a Holga from Urban Outfitters.
Person 2: Cool, dude! You just had $10 burning a hole in your pocket, did you?
Person 1: What the fuck? That thing cost me $75!
Person 2: What a rip. Also, know that the film for those things is $5 a roll, not including development, which you'll have to get done at a specialty camera store because drug stores don't develop that kind of film.
Person 1: FUCK.
Person 2: That's Lomography for you.

An alcoholic drink made by the Smirnoff vodka company that is technically beer (it says so on the bottle) even though it's clear. It comes in a lot of flavors, some of which taste great and some of which taste nastier than shit. It has a very low alcohol per volume ranking (can't remember of the top of my head but I think it's around 10-20 proof).
Oftentimes called a bitch drink because of its low alcohol content and fruity flavor, but it tends to be the drink of choice at many parties.
The good flavors taste a lot like Sprite with alcohol, but a bit sweeter.

Guy 1: What are you drinking?
Guy 2: Green Apple flavored Smirnoff Ice!
Guy 1: Dude, that's such a bitch drink.
Guy 2: Shut up, you know you love it.
