single and ready to mingle

Translation: I am ugly, broke, and have severe personality issues that drive potential dates/mates away.

Okay, I am only kidding.... just because someone says that he/she is "single and ready to mingle" does not necessarily mean that the person is undesirable. It's just that traditionally, most truly-attractive people have lots of OTHER folks approach THEM romantically, so one has to wonder why the person has to actually inform the world that he is "available and sociable". One should go ahead and befriend said individual, but just be a bit extra-wary of "red flags".

reading festival

To quote the BBC website, 'For Carling, the Reading and Leeds Weekend festivals are "very, very simply a brand strategy to recruit young males". The company wants to attract 25 to 34-year-old men whose main interests are football, music, beer and women.' And mud.

A: You going to Reading Festival this weekend?
B: No, it costs £120 and will be very muddy.

Reading Rainbow

When your doing a chick in a dark room, and a car goes by and lights it up. You realize that the bitch is butt ugly and jump over the bed and book it.

Chris:"Dude, you know hot Jackie?"

Joe: "Yeah."

Chris: "I had to pull a reading rainbow on her, she's an ugly shit"

ready-not-made

tailor-made; custom-built.

I do not like readymade garments; rather, I would love to wear ready-not-made ones.

close reading

Reading a book in a state of exhaustion, resulting in ones face dropping steadily closer to the page.

I was at the library doing some close reading. Woke up and I had dissolved several verses of Keats in drool.
