Gilding the Lilly

To adorn unnecessarily something already beautiful. The expression is a condensation of Shakespeare's metaphor in King John: "To gild refined gold, to paint the lily ... is wasteful and ridiculous excess." i.e., you wouldn't need to add gold to a beautiful lily.

Jennilyn is so beauitful that putting on makeup is just Gilding the Lilly.

guido

The Guido is an entirely American phenomena, with its epicenter in the New York/ New Jersey metropolitan area. Although most of its examples are of Italian-American descent, manytimes other non-descript Caucasians will follow suit in an attempt to achieve an identity- in fact any identity. The Guido is highly recognizable by his attention to muscular development, status symbols, and regional dialect. Guidos are fortunate in that they usually tend to be loyal to their heritage and cultures. However, their interpretation of the Italian culture is unique to Americans. They fall sorrily short when attempting to emulate the sophistication of European-born men. In fact, their shortcomings include a tendency toward alcoholism, legal problems (usually related to assault, reckless driving, noise violations), and an inability to compete in legimate business. Fortunately for them, they usually live an exciting, care-free existance. They are easily satiated by tacky mall attire, drunken nights with similar-minded women, and nightclubbing in the lesser desired beach towns such as Seaside Heights, New Jersey. In the end, although they maintain a unique sense of identity and pride, their superficial lives often leave them empty. The tolls of excessive grooming products, STDs, and alcohol abuse age these specimens quite poorly. The time spent in fitness clubs is usually far offset by their lifestyle choices.

"Although he spends all his time in the gym and dancing in the clubs, that Guido will soon be a burned out alcoholic working a thankless job, living alone in his one-bedroom apartment in North Jersey"

Guido's Elbow

Often occurs after a guido performs a massive amount of fist pumping for a prolonged period of time. Similar to tennis elbow; just much more jacked and tan. Side-effects of this ailment can include: Elbow soreness, swelling in the elbow, inability to effectively consume jaeger-bombs, and retards a guido's ability to partake in their ritualistic pumping of the fist.

Man 1: Why is that guido pumping his fist so awkwardly?
Man 2: He was at an all night rave and pumped his fist so hard he contracted guido's elbow.
Man 1: Wow that sucks. Fucking guidos...
