Slut du Jour

Pseudo-French for "slut of the day"- the person, of the many indistinguishable options, with whom one is currently romantically engaged.

"Who's the girl Nick's with tonight?"
"Oh who knows, just his slut du jour, he'll have another by friday."

"...and the 'slut du jour' is Keith, who doesn't much care who's mouth he's in. Served with a side of Carlos."

Rack du Jour

A phrase derived partly from the French (du Jour - 'of the day') used to describe the largest breasts (Rack) seen on a girl seen that day, or sometimes within an arbitrary time frame such as on an evening out. Thought to have originated in the early 1920s in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

slop du jour

As COVID-19 social distancing and shelter-in-place orders endlessly grind on, the passage of time is distorted and once important daily events are homogenized into an unrecognizable, indistinguishable, meaningless blur.

Hey, what day is it?
I dunno. Why?
I was going to order the slop du jour...
