As much use as a business page in the Guardian

Something of no use to the chronically economically illiterates, who read the Guardian and worship Carl Marx.

“ That’s about as much use as a business page in the Guardian!” Exclaimed Rupert before spilling egg down his tie.

mink guarding

When wimpy pencil-dicked possessive mama's boy types cling to their girlfriend in public, eyes always looking around, holding hands, grabbing ass, any way to let everyone know his woman is "taken." Really a turnoff to women and makes guys like me laugh behind their backs.

Look at that dweeb over there mink guarding that chick. She is going to run from him really soon.

The Guardianz

"Quit that game! The Guardianz are playing.."

Barney-guarding job

A job that requires absolutely no skill or talent, except for a complete lack of self-respect. Usually the kind of job one seeks after being fired from distributing flyers for a porno theater.

The term is derived from an episode from The Simpsons where Mr. Smithers, desperate for a job after being fired by Mr. Burns, inquires after a Help Wanted sign at Moe's. The job is pretty simple: distract Barney Gumbel until the midnight beer delivery is safely transacted. According to Homer, it's a job that many of them have only contemplated in the darkest moments of their lives.

Bill: Yo, how'd the job hunt go?

Evan: Terrible. I had to take an internship to a fishmonger.

Bill: Man, that's a Barney-guarding job.

Evan: I know. I think I'm going to bed. Don't bother me.

Goose-guarding

A New Zealand word used commonly in children's games roughly equivalent to camping in video games.

Kid 1: I'm not moving until you leave the safe zone.
Kid 2: No goose-guarding!
Kid 1: Okay, fine! I'll just run around the whole court until you leave then instead.
