shiksa

A Gentile girl or woman, especially one who has attracted a Jewish man. The term derives from the Hebrew word "sheketz", meaning the flesh of an animal deemed taboo by the Torah. Since a Jewish man marrying a non-Jewish woman is taboo also, this word applies to her.

Traditionally this is a derogatory term, though in modern times it has also been used more light-heartedly. For example, Seinfeld once did an episode about Elaine's "shiksa appeal".

The ideal shiksa is a blonde WASP who look like the opposite of a stereotypical Jew, but in reality, many shiksas are brunettes who might pass for Jewish themselves.

On Sex and the City, Charlotte really blossomed as a shiksa!

castrati

The plural of castrato.

Not to be confused with bishi, though they look exactly the same.

Am I the only one who thinks that all thin, long-limbed, and androgenous anime boys look like castrati?

DeLorean

Coolest car EVER.

Known to most people via its use as a time machine in "Back to the Future." Ya don't think Doc woulda tricked out a minivan or a clunky SUV and sent that to another century, do ya?

Last Saturday, I was overcome by the presense of my friend's DeLorean. The wing-opening doors and polished steel exterior were especially pimpin'.
