Tailor

A tailor is a person who makes, repairs, or alters clothing professionally, especially suits and men's clothing.
Although the term dates to the thirteenth century, tailor took on its modern sense in the late eighteenth century, and now refers to makers of men's and women's suits, coats, trousers, and similar garments, usually of wool, linen, or silk.
The term refers to a set of specific hand and machine sewing and pressing techniques that are unique to the construction of traditional jackets. Retailers of tailored suits often take their services internationally, traveling to various cities, allowing the client to be measured locally.
Traditional tailoring is called bespoke tailoring in the United Kingdom, where the heart of the trade is in London's Savile Row, and custom tailoring in the United States and Hong Kong. This is unlike made to measure which uses pre-existing patterns. A bespoke garment or suit is completely original and unique to each customer.

tailored trash

White collar workers with many of the same characteristics of trailer trash, but which take it to a higher level of cultural depravity. Developers who demand perverse subsidies for creating urban sprawl, too big to fail and jail bankers who demand bonuses when they take down whole economies, flamboyant and racist professional sports team owners who feels entitled to publically funded grandiose stadiums.
The tailored trash claimed to be self made millionaire, but instead was on public welfare in the form perverse public subsidies, and entitlements to public infrastructure for developments that consumed nature and spit out urban sprawl.

Taihlyr

Literally one of the funniest people you will actually meet. No matter what they look like size, height weight, It doesn't fucking matter because they are the definition of pretty or cute or gorgeous or anything literally that is motivating. They will literally lift your day no matter how you feel and she will actually make you smile 24/7. She's the one person you go to for fun and anything involved with excitement. Despite her funny aspect she is also probably fucking adorable. Literally like a nugget. She's the one thing you always want but sometimes you can't have, but the times you do get her you will literally cry over it because you're overwhelmed with joy.
You: Hey do you know Taihlyr?
Anon: Oh you mean the one girl who's super funny and lowkey cute?
