substitute person

1. A person who is the replacement for a significant other, relative, or friend that isn't around anymore.

2. Derived from a quote by Claire from Elizabethtown.
"You and I have a special talent," Claire says to Drew. "And I saw it immediately. We're the substitute people. I've been the substitute person my whole life. I'm not an Ellen a co-worker Drew was into. I never wanted to be an Ellen. And I'm not a Cindy either…I like being alone too much. I mean, I'm with a guy who is married to his academic career. I rarely see him and I'm the substitute person there. I like it that way. It's a lot less pressure."

"Since Anne just broke up with Joe, Emily is Joe's substitute person."

Suburban Wasteland

The local populace, or "townies" are usually, overweight, slow (mentally and physically) and have a penchant for shitty Hollywood movies and fast food. Its also known for having large concentrations of children and geriatrics.
"Hey, can we stop at Dunkin' Dounuts, I wanna grab a coffee?"

"We just passed one."

"Oh shit. Well, just keep driving, in this suburban wasteland we should hit another one in about a mile. Wait! There's a Starbucks!"

suburbs

The suburbs is where most americans want to make a living. It is where successful individuals or couples who have made it somewhere in life through determination live. Whether or not the same can be said about their children is up for debate, but it is a HAVEN from the noise-ridden, polluted, and often crime / poverty infested city. People living in a suburb ADVANCED in life, and made it out of the city, or were lucky enough to have educated parents who raised them here. Whether or not those privileged appreciate it or not is also up for debate, but as one of those privileged individuals myself, I can honestly say that after 30 years of living in a New Jersey suburb, I have WISENED up enough to say that I am THANKFUL to live in a suburb. Sure, it can get boring, and there are downsides to living in a suburb, but as with anything in life, there are solutions, like earning your own car to get places, as I did (which I must say most 'urbanites' at my job are jealous of). And I must add its nice to come home from a 12 hour shift in the middle of summer to a very suburban SWIMMING POOL, rather than cooling off to a very urban FIRE HYDRANT.
There are mostly negative definitions of suburbanites here, and they are most likely coming from biased and jealous urban folks, who will NEVER make it out of the city, due to their child support issues, or their little record.
"Hello and welcome to my home. If for any reason you don't like it, then by all means leave my PALACE in the suburbs, and return to your urban HOVEL, peasant.

subtastic

Originally from the comedy sketch show 'The Kids in the Hall', "subtastic" conveyed the idea that the speaker was about to say 'substandard', but quickly changed his mind to 'fantastic' after smelling the wonderful aroma conveyed by the subject of the conversation.
"I've called you into my office to talk about your poor performance at work. Frankly, your work has been sub... quickly changes his mind ...tastic!"

hence, subtastic.

substidude

A man working in the capacity of a substitute teacher. Usually claims that he enjoys "teaching" eighth graders how to color when their teacher is gone. Truthfully he is unqualified for most jobs and is able to maintain sobriety long enough to fill a position for the actual teacher who is hung over, having another baby or just needs a break from that grueling 6-7 hour workday for nine months in the year by taking personal days, vacation days or sick days allotted to them while all the way complaining about their salaries and benefits because they've never competed in the real world to know better.
student 1: "That substidude in Mrs. Meyers class is awesome. He sits cross-legged on the desk and we spend the whole period watching movies and talking about his kickass time in college. I friended him on FB."
student 2: "Mrs. Meyers should be coming back in a couple of months, you shouldn't get too attached to our substidude."
