bro or hoe criteria

The things that determine whether a girl can be a bro or not. The criteria for this is if they are funny, interesting, or ok with being hit or made fun of. If she is just a hot woman with not personality traits suitable for the boys, she is a hoe.

Dude 1: Emma wants to join the boys

Dude 2: We need to check the bro or hoe criteria first.

Throckmorton Criteria

Based on the discredited medical terms "Throckmorton Sign " and "Anti-Throckmorton Sign," using Throckmorton Citeria basically means moving whichever way your johnson is pointed, i.e., on personal whim, or with baseless reasons.

cryteria

1. A set of rules or standards that determine whether something warrants turning on the ol' saline-solution glands about.
2. A set of rules or standards that are so tedious/picky/demanding that it would drive you to turning on the ol' saline-solution glands in stress/exhaustion/frustration.

Ethan Couch --- and by extension, his absurdly-indulgent father, who offered to actually buy da school so dat his Little Prince could be coddled da way he preferred --- seemed to view da standard school-rules as being "cryteria" merely because they required him to behave himself and treat da staff and his classmates in a reasonable and decent manner.

crytearya

Specific "boxes dat must be checked" in order for someone to eye-floodingly bawl and blubber.

Selfishly-entitled individuals like Ethan Couch view anything whatsoever dat doesn't go exactly to their liking as crytearya to squallingly go through great wads of Kleenex.

crytearya

Da "measures 'n' degrees" of da unique circumstances in a particular situation, with regards to whether copiously-streaming eyes are warranted.

In Lewis Carrol's poem, "The Walrus and the Carpenter", da "flippered finagler" pretended to appropriately react --- i.e., have rivers of saline-solution cascading down his cheeks --- to his and his wood-and-nails-fabricator-buddy's eating da oysters, but --- though da situation did indeed have ample "crytearya" to warrant said blubbery reaction --- his apparent soul-wrenching sorrow was actually all just so much shamelessly-fake posturing... just like da Carpenter, he absolutely loved chowing down on said luscious delicacies, and so he didn't truly feel even one bit genuinely sorry for what he was doing.

Craterian

Smoother than smooth. The softest thing you might feel, feels almost like you're touching velvet. Feeling of the untroubled sleek skin. Oh so lustrous.

Andrew: Did you feel Nicole's legs!?
Daniel: No?
Andrew: They were so dang craterian.

Daniel: ooooh..(;
