Nova Scotia Slide Bum 

A physical characteristic that afflicts a disproportionate number of women in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Its primary quality is a flatness of the buttocks that is so extreme that the tops of the thighs appear to slide into the shoulder-blades without significant outward interruption.
He: Look, there's Bob's really cute girlfriend. She's from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Friend: Yea, she's cute alright, but she's got Nova Scotia slide bum.
He: Yikes! Now that she's turned sideways, I see what you mean: she's got practically no ass at all!

Hard-On Factor 

The hidden purpose of all female fashion and the "beauty industry" that supports it -- namely, to help to generate male erections. Sometimes abbreviated to "the H.O. Factor," it is what some feminists treat with disdain and attempt to subvert by refusing to wear make-up. Every fashion designer, male or female, recognizes its importance, however, as, instinctively, do all heterosexual women.
She: I looooooove the new Chloe collection, especially those floor-length dresses and baggy blouses with long sleeves!
He: But they completely lack the H.O. Factor.
She: The whaaaat??
He: The Hard-On Factor: they are absolutely NOT arousing ... not even a twitch ....

said brown owl

Prole gap 

The gap between the back of the collar of a man's shirt and his suit, which indicates that the suit is cheap and does not fit properly, and that its wearer is lower class (proletarian). Also "pleb gap."
Executive: The new guy in accounting doesn't seem as if he belongs in a firm like ours.
Fellow executive: Yes, you can tell that just by looking at his suit: he's got prole gap.
Executive: What???
Fellow executive: A gap between a guy's suit and shirt collar is a sign that the suit is not fitted properly and that the guy's a prole.
Empty Toilet Roll Syndrome: syndrome manifested by inconsiderate males between the ages of 12 and 26, the principal symptom of which is an inability to replace empty toilet rolls even if there is a full roll sitting on the back of the toilet or nearby. The major cause is chronic laziness and a selfish lack of concern for other people. The only cure is homeopathic -- i.e., a retaliatory and strategic leaving of an empty toilet roll, ideally when there is no full one available in the bathroom. Other symptoms include leaving pubic hair on the soap in the shower, never picking up the bath mat, and similar antisocial behaviors.
She: I can't believe it, my brother never replaces the empty toilet roll in our bathroom, the lazy bastard.
Her friend: Nor does mine. Obviously, they are both victims of ETRS.
She: What?
Her friend: Empty Toilet Roll Syndrome.
ETRS by ring-tailed roarer June 8, 2009
Courageous, bold, brave; the equivalent for females of ballsy.
He: It's amazing that she had the guts to say that to the teacher. She had to know it would get her in trouble because it's obvious that he completely disagrees with her opinion. Courageous!

She: Yea, it was super clittsy of her. But what do you expect? She's a clittsy girl.

Detroitus 

Abandoned buildings, furniture, cars, debris, etc. in the inner core of a decaying city such as Detroit, with punning reference to detritus - that is, the decaying and fragmented matter of past civilizations.
He: God, all the empty buildings and crap in the downtown area make it look like a waste land. It's even worse than Detroit.
She: Yeah, everywhere you look, there's Detroitus.
