testicle lockbox

A figurative device, in which a woman hold's a man's manhood, preventing him from acting as per his natural state. Implicit in this arrangement is that the woman has means of reprisal against the man, and should he misbehave, grave consequences await. Most commonly used to describe arrangements in spousal or significant-other relationships, but can also be used in other scenarios where a woman has power over a man, and he must accede to her demands or face consequences. Often abbreviated, just 'TLB', especially when used in polite company.

The word is only correctly used if the man feels emasculated as a result - it does not cover all situations where a woman has authority over a man. A female boss who just threatens to fire a guy would not have him in a testicle lockbox if he feels machismo because of it.

In the late 90's, perhaps the genesis of the term, it was used to describe the arrangement Hillary Clinton had come to with Bill Clinton after the Monica Lewinsky scandal erupted.
Q: Joe, you wanna go bowling tonight?
A: Naw, man, my old lady, she don't want me being out late.
Q: She's totally got you in a testicle lockbox.
A: Shuddup.

localization

The act of making a product suitable for a culture foreign to its native region. For example, translating and recasting the voices of characters in an anime to English. This can also include some other modifications, such as changing a play on words or a common idiom native to the original region that wouldn't make sense in a foreign language, or even censorship of certain images and actions like removing a cigar from a character or replacing piles of bones with loaves of bread.
The Japanese and Korean localization of League of Legends excluded Graves' cigar because depictions of smoking would bump the rating of the game to 17+, making it inconsistent with the American version's rating.

The American English localization of the hit new game "Britain's Bikini Battlers" removed the "u" from color, flavor, behavior, harbor, honor, humor, labor, neighbor, rumor, splendor, favor, endeavor, clamor, glamor, valor, vapor... well, you get the picture. Also, they replaced the word "arse" with "ass" and got rid of the joke about Tories running through wheat fields.

local music scene

Any localized music-oriented community of bands and their fans. Local music scenes become a key role in incidents of disharmony (“drama”) for individuals between the age 18 and 37 years-old. While many local music scenes purport to extol “unity” and “cooperation” and similar such ideals, at the end of the day, all scenesters know that their participation in the scene is ultimately reducible to the fact that they enjoy groupthink, self-censorship, and pretending to have a legitimate excuse for not completing their undergraduate education.
Person 1: Whatever happened to that guy? As I recall he was pretty smart, not to mention cool. What is he up to these days?

Person 2: Not much. He was involved in the local music scene for the past twenty years, and now he is living with his parents and "attending" the University of Phoenix.

Person 1: Oh.
