real exchange rate

(ECONOMICS) ratio between a country's foreign exchange rate and the real purchasing power of its local currency.

The actual exchange rate between (say) the yen and the US dollar tells you nothing about the relative strength of the two currencies. The US dollar buys 92.57 yen (17 May 2010) right now, which sounds like a lot. But $100, converted into ¥9,257, only buys $71 worth of actual goods & services. In order for the yen:dollar exchange rate to reflect real purchasing power of the two currencies, the US dollar should be able to buy ¥130.

The real exchange rate for the US dollar against the Japanese yen is 1.41 (meaning the yen is costlier than the dollar in real terms).
The recent (March-May) fall of the euro against the US dollar has brought the real exchange rate of the two currencies into approximate parity.

Wristband Exchange

Usually at concerts, games or any other events, Wristband Exchange stalls are mostly always there at the entrance. It's where you can exchange one half of your concert/game ticket for a wristband which you can wear throughout the concert/game. It easier than taking out your ticket all the time when passing security.
A wristband includes the singer/band's name, the venue and the timing.

Wristbands usually come in the following colors:
Black: VIP Backstage

Gold : VIP
Silver: Front standing
Red/Yellow: Center standing (or back seating)

Wearing wristbands long after the concerts are often trends now for teenagers. A kid can show of his/her wristband to let others know that he/she went for this concert...blah blah blah
"Hey, have you guys seen Roxy and Jordan?"
"No, they're still at the wristband exchange."

"I didn't see you at the Metro Station concert, Katie."
Katie holds up her arm and shows off her wristband.
"I was there all right....I got backstage!"

"Lucky bitch!"

The Exchange

The Exchange is one of the most glorious and under-used unwritten law of partying. It just states that if you hold back the hair of a female, while she is projectile vomiting into the toilet after a few too many, She must immediately slob on your knob, during, or after throwing up.
Shit motha fucka that bitch threw up on my lap so i made her suck my D.

Bonnie and I were having a wonderful time at the party until she got sick, then she had to suck my penis. I sure enjoy calling out the exchange.

Foreign Exchange Student

noun.

NEVER FORGET to get a foreign exchange student of the same sex as you are, for you would otherwise be very tempted to do things you will great, and that will make the whole family feel very uncomfortable.
Girl : Hey! Where did your foreign exchange student go? Didn't see him at school today.
Me : We kinda hooked up for several weeks, my parents found out and he had to move some place else.
Girl : That sucks!
Me : Yup!
