49th street

49th Street is a street in the Times Square neighborhood of downtown New York. It has now been cleaned up, but back in the 1970s, it was quite a messed up neighborhood. The corner of 49th street and 8th Avenue was known for its many porn theaters, which showed the iconic 1972 movie Deep Throat, among others.
I have a style of outfits which I call "CBGBs crossed with 49th Street." It's basically Blondie-punk-style outfits but with the tops a little tighter or cut a little lower, and the skirts are quite short. Some of the great combinations they include are silver platform shoes and fishnet ponchos with long lace-and-satin tank tops and punk rock dog collars and spiked cuffs. It's my tribute to the "I don't give a fuck and I express my sexuality however I want to" spirit of that era. It does NOT = "looking like a porn star" (that'd be one conservative porn star!). It = being sexy on my own terms.
When I use "49th Street" as an adjective, I mean "bad-ass, hardcore, rebellious, defiant".

Today, I wore a black pin-striped mini-skirt, a black asymmetric top with see-thru slit sleeves, fishnets with silver platforms, and a leather collar with chains. That was a pure 49th Street look.

Me- "I like to dress like I'm from 1970s NYC sometimes"
Moron- "Oh, you mean like 5th Ave with all the designers and stuff?"
Me- "No, I mean like 49th Street, that whole punk and porn explosion"
Moron- *runs*

God, I love that song...so raw, so 49th Street.

pornstar shoes

Thick-soled, usually platform-heeled sandals or shoes. Some heels can be as high as 8 inches...those are too uncomfortable for normal life though. 4 or 4.5 inch-ones are cool. I have 2 pairs of more-or-less pornstar shoes, but, just for the record, all my shoes with heels are thick.

I wear pornstar shoes to show my individuality and to pay tribute to 1970s punk culture (which was close to porn)...I even wore a pair to my prom banquet, and no one gave a shit.

nas

Pure and simple, the Trent Reznor of hip-hop.
Can go from gritty gangsta to poppy party tracks to vitriolic tirades against the American government and sound absolutely genuine while doing it.
The best lyricist in hip-hop at the moment.

-You rep me respectfully, that's how I rep for you
-Vote for who now? You're red, white and blue? I'm American too, but I ain't with the president's crew!
-Many tried, many died, come at Nas if you want a war, get it bloody....I got mine, I hope you got yourself a gun.
-I'm the leader, thats it, nobody higher Nobody touchin my crown, nobody dyin Nobody smoother, harder, tougher, believe it I'm much smarter, much more strategic.

cock tease

I'm supriused at how negatively this word is defined. In the "hardcore" culture, this word doesn't have such a negative connotation. Since "hardcore" girls are hard to get, if one is actually flirting with you and giving you some heavily sexual innuendos but being all coy and "unsure" about it, it means she is a "cock tease", which actuallhy means that she is seriously considering sex with you...

-I was reading my Anthropology textbook, which talked about rapists in fraternties using this word in a negative sense, and I was so surprised because I'd never heard it being used in that sense.
-The boi says I'm a cock tease but that's a good thing because that means he shall get what he wants ;-)

boi

Someone who is your significant other, but whom it would be an insult to call "a boyfriend" (because it implies temporariness). "Boi" also implies a very deep bond of loyalty, almost like in a gang. A lot of goths and spooky kids use this word, often with "muh" or "tha" or "thee". I'm a little too old for that though.
Girls also use it to describe a good-looking goth or spooky kid.

That's my boi right here, and I love him to death.
If you act like that, my boi will fuck you up.
Mmmm...what a sexy goth boi! He looks like Reznor.

cluster ring

A ring made up of many little stones that are fused into some huge shiny "exploding" shape, such as a star, a heart, a circle'diamond/square/, and even a (yuck! how mainstream!) flower. The cooler shapes are now worn by some very "on-the-edge" punk rockers/indie people/freaks.

I bought a multicolored glass cluster ring in the form of a green and red diamond.

nantucket red

Faded red color, a cross between red and pink, associated with sailing shirts worn on the island of Nantucket, MA. What happens when you leave a red clothing item lying out in the sun too long. Not just for WASPy millionaires anymore...any Cape Cod-associated subculture can wear it, albeit in slightly "different" ways.

I descended on Cape Cod in a gauzy Nantucket Red and black leopard print top, ready to raise some hell and to flirt with the hot goths.
I left a red T-shirt in the sun too long, and now it's a lovely faded Nantucket Red.
