restraining order

just another way of saying I love you

Please tell the gentleman who keeps sending me those letters that contain words like "cease and desist" and "restraining order" that there's really no need.

nancy boy

an effeminate man; what gay men were called back in the days when gay meant happy

That feller was always a little funny, if you know what I mean. A real nancy boy.

staircase wit

thinking of the right answer too late; the perfect, usually piercing, riposte that you conceive only when replaying a verbal exchange later in your head

from the French l'esprit d'escalier, the witty repartee you thought of as you're going downstairs to leave

My coworker Ann had taken to calling me "Markus", which I hate. I told her I hated it, and her response was,"It's a term of affection."

I muttered something like "Well it's not".

What I SHOULD have said:
Considering her name, "OK, to cement this 'affectionate' relationship, I'll call you An(n)us."

job job

1 aka a real job; a job with heath insurance; as opposed to an internship or the wonderful world of retail

2 a primary job; a day job

This isn't just another interview. This is for a job job.

I'm an editor--primarily of technical documentation for my JOB job, but I also dabbling in things like web site authoring on the side.

swap spit

to French kiss; to snog

We'd park by the lake and just swap spit for hours. Swapping spit is so much fun.
