Sole Trader

Building on the social psych definition, there are number parameters to be a sole trader.

1 - A sole trader always has a higher preference for warm associations over close friendships. While sole traders can be friendly and engaging, they maintain a distance with all people at all times. This can unintentionally upset/offend others, when misinterpreted.

2 - Unlike the lone wolf, the sole trader naturally associates many social groups and classes. Sole traders always have an above average intellect. This quality assistants with their preference for solitude but intermingling with many social stations.

3 - Generally, a sole trader is a personal description based on inner reflection. It would be uncommon to call someone else a sole trader.

The character Tom Booker in the Book/Movie The Horse Whisper is an example of a sole trader.

jack of all trades

A term used to describe someone who knows a lot about many things, but, with the second tag "master of none" added it transforms into a derogatory phrase meant to emphasize how mastery of one skill is important for deeper knowledge.

However, one, oft forgotten tag is the third one: "is oftentimes better than a master of one". Instantly, the term reverses meaning, symbolizing how a person who knows a lot about many things that integrates their skills allows them to surpass even a master of one.

Interesting phrase, nonetheless.

"Man, Tom knows a lot! He's a jack of all trades, aint he?"

"Yeah, but he probably doesn't know a lot about specifics. You know how it goes: Jack of all trades, master of none."

"Jack of all trades, master of one, is oftentimes better than master of one, man. Tom's pretty smart."

slut trailer

A teaser trailer for a film that reveals so much that actually going to see the movie becomes inconsequential because you already know everything about the movie.

The T.V. ad for "James Cameron's Avatar" is a total slut trailer.

Trailer Snob

Someone who believes they are above their current social as well as their current economic conditions. They may or may not reside in a mobile home and are just as likely to be found sleeping on their friends couch. They choose to spend their hard earned money on things like cars, race cars, vacations, clothes, and salon visits instead of improving their own standard of living. They like to "put on a show" when it comes to celebrations such as bridal showers, weddings, baby showers, baptisms, birthday parties, and family reunions even when it may be their second or third such event. They take out loans and mismanage their money to finance such endeavors. They are the first to hand out advice regarding any money or relationship matter whether it is solicited or not and often are not in such a position that their advice would be welcome. They tend to have their "head in the sand" when it comes to their own relationship and money matters. They rarely can see their own circumstances clearly but are quick to offer their "two cents" on the circumstances of others. They seldom are happy for milestones reached by friends or family and instead try to outshine or rain on the parade of others. They seldom take any responsibility for their role in any conflict and instead try to defend their actions by placing blame on others. They like to be seen as the victim in every potentially negative situation and are quick to rally for support. They are constantly looking for approval from others and to be seen as "OK". They tend to be gossipers and have no boundaries as to who they are gossiping about. They often fish to see what they can gossip about next by saying they "can't believe" or "it might not be my place to say, but..." They tend to have alot of aquaintences but few true friends. Many times they are merely put up with due to the friendships and relationships of their spouse(s) and family members.

Kay always looks so put together, too bad she's really only a "Trailer Snob".
