Gertrude

(v.) to create doubt in a proposition by insisting upon it
I always Gertrude when telling people that I think unicorns "kick ass" by first saying something like, "I don't mean to sound queer or nothin, but…"

getfresh

A future faker: Someone who--via their words and initial actions--give you the impression of a future so that they can get what they want in the present. They make thinly veiled or even direct references to stuff like marriage, babies, moving in together, going on holiday, being together the following year and other such things that imply or state that you’re a part of their life, and then they either disappear or replace the person you thought they were with someone altogether different. They never own up to their misdemeanors. See the other definition of "getfresh".
Person 1: Why is she having such a hard time getting over this guy?
Person 2: Because she got no closure, he was a complete getfresh.

getfresh

A manipulating playboy, an extremely gorgeous guy, who tries to impress you till you're totally into him and then starts ignoring you once he is done, hoping that you'd go away on your own. Never gets close to girls with the intention of just being friends but more of friends-with-benefits. Once they go crazy over him, he chickens out, making it seem like it was all in their head. Is a sociopath himself and turns girls into psychopaths due to his behavior. Openly admits to being a mastermind at playing with people's minds as being cold-hearted. Never communicates once he is done with the girls to make things worse than they would be otherwise. When he is done with the girl, he breaks her discretion along with her heart and treats her like she never existed. He will never tell you directly what's in his mind so that he leaves no trail behind him.
Girl A: Dude what happened to Kimmy?
Girl B: She was involved with a getfresh for a while.
Girl A: Omg, that's horrible! How long?
Girl B: Too long.

gentrivacation destination

every cool ski resort, ski town, or surf spot (among other vacation type places): Yuppies and super rich retiring baby boomers invade in a seemingly endless parade of bright red spyder jackets and fur coats. They are transported by huge 2mpg SUVs (Hummers and Escalades seem to be their choice, the bigger after market chrome rims and bling the better) that will never go offroad and are only there to compensate for a small penis or to look hip to the younger skiers and snowboarders living in these towns who usually have to wait on their pompous asses to afford a season pass and crappy housing at whatever resort town or cool beach front is being taken over. This is quickly followed by the cutting down of aspen trees or using TNT to blow out cliffs to build 8000-10000sq ft McMansions and Garage Mahals that will be used 2 months out of the year,destroy tons of natural resources and animal habitats, and drive the price of living (and ski passes) through the roof.
Now that there is no land left in Vail, Sun Valley, and Jackson Hole, Fucking SoCal and Texas dickheads make Park City their new gentrivacation destination of choice.

Reverse Gentrification

When city council displaces renters to house the homeless. Akin to free energy proponents believe that making people homeless will solve homelessness.

Imminent signs of Reverse Gentrification include large encampments of tents and homeless people at parks or other public locations, that move elected officials to buy your rental homes to solve the problem.

Usually results in urban charm to your neighborhood. You can expect frequent visits from police, fire department and other first responders.
Tenant1: We all got notice to vacate and I'm not sure we can stay in the area.
Tenant2: No worries. I hear Reverse Gentrification is helping out folks like us.

Council1: I got a great idea, let's buy homes to shelter homeless!
Council2: Displace people to house people, you mean Reverse Gentrification?
Council1: Yes...And we could harness free energy to pay the utilities!
Council2: Aren't we smart!
