ghetto phone

When the folks next door are screaming bloody murder at each other, they're using the "ghetto phone," that is, they are being so loud everyone in the neighborhood (hood, ghetto) can hear them.

"Get off the ghetto phone and talk nice to me, I ain't done nuthin' that bad that you gotta get all over my shit."

photo-op feminism

Photo-op feminism is a brand (off-brand?) of the real thing where a poser will do or say anything (especially in front of a television camera) to get herself (okay, sometimes even men do it too) seen or heard as a hero to women everywhere. The more unreal the claim, the more outrageous the behavior.

When Sarah Palin winks at the camera she's teaching us all we need to know about photo-op feminism.

FL

Condom. Short for "French Letter," a term used for condoms by soldiers during the two Worlds Wars in Europe, but almost never spoken in full.

Spoken as ef-el.

I don't wanna catch the clap but I'm plumb out of bloody FLs.
