Alternative Lifestyle Haircut

alternative lifestyle haircut (n) – A haircut or style that indicates its owner leads a life contrary to that of the conservative or heterosexual world. Also known as “the significant lesbian haircut,” the acquiring of an alternative lifestyle haircut is often seen as a rite of passage into lesbian adulthood, even if it is not maintained after the initial cut. Like a bat mitzvah, but on your head. Examples include: the mohawk, the fauxhawk, the mullet, the sidesweep, and the Tegan and Sara.

The term was coined by Autostraddle.com and has since become a common collloquialism.

1.) Jess just came out and, after going to her first Tegan and Sara concert, got an alternative lifestyle haircut similar to Tegan's.

2.) Once Leah added an alternative lifestyle haircut to her outfit composed of American Apparel and a skinny tie, she became infinitely more attractive.

tofu dreg

Chinese slang for cheap, shoddy, unsafe, or otherwise inadequate construction. Tofu dreg projects are relatively common in China due to poor building materials, corrupt government inspectors, overly ambitious building schedules, and a lack of care from builders. Features of tofu dreg projects include leaking pipes in new buildings, to no water at all in fire suppression systems, sinkholes, partial to total collapse of buildings. In some cases, concrete and masonry can be destroyed with bare hands, steel rebar can be broken with a few taps on a hard surface.

Many buildings collapsed during the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake that wouldn't have otherwise, had they not been Tofu Dreg constrution.

poo haiku

Poems, messages, etc. written in rest room stalls

Here I sit broken hearted,
Sat right down and only farted.

This is a tee-pee
For you to pee-pee.
Not a wig-wam
To beat your tom-tom.

Man's life ambition must be small
To write a message on a shithouse wall.

Some of the poo haiku masterpieces of Thomas Crapper...or George Michael...
