dumb formal

to describe the kind of 'unwritten uniform' worn by certain professions (i.e teachers) to work. This is what happens when 'smart casual' goes to work.

I like the way you've jazzed up your slack and crisp white collared shirt look with that snazzy navy blue cardigan.

It's what the dumb formal look is all about.

the mr. formal

a sexual act: the placement of one's testicles inside the anal sphincter of another, immediately followed by mounting said person, placing the penis in their mouth while allowing the freshly dirtied scrotum to press down on the center of their collar bone, leaving a shitty imprint which more or less resembles a bow tie.

"dude, remember that chick from the bar last night? yeah, i gave her the mr. formal."

"ooh, yeah. that feels good. harder. harder. faster. wait- a little slower. ok, now pop those balls in my ass and give me the mr. formal, stud."

"fuck men's warehouse, i'm a mr. formal man."
