halfrican/negro's friend: "Dude, it's only like 40 degrees out here."

halfrican/negro: "Well, where I'm from we ain't used to no 40 degree weather!"

Temperance Spoon

Long handled spoon, usually metal, kept on the person and wielded by an unavailable or prudish woman to deter men from intercourse. In all cases the spoon is brought down hard on the top of the chap's truncheon - very effective at turning wood to putty.

Also commonly found on matrons/teachers touring the boy's dormitories after 'lights out' at boarding schools, to stop any cases of self-love that maybe occuring.

Margaret: "Goodness gracious Reginald put that away before it feels the sting of my temperance spoon."

temporal narcissism

The self-centeredness or vanity of an individual expressing itself through dysphoria caused by the inability to pause, rewind, or fast-forward stimuli or events occurring around him or her in the same way he or she can pause a TiVo or other media device.
(as described on CNet podcast 591)

-Temporal narcissism is often seen when people regrettably remember that they can't rewind the movie they're watching at the movie theater when they couldn't make out what was said.

-Example of temporal narcissism: Driving home from work today, I got really indignant after remembering I couldn't pause the radio while I ordered dinner at the drive-through window.

Mexican Temperpedic

The act of purchasing an extremely cheap air mattress from Wal-Mart and filling it with water from your garden hose.

Jose was having really bad back pain from lifting his heavy wheelbarrow, so as a gift I gave him a mexican temperpedic - because I couldn't afford a real temperpedic.
