johnny come lately

A newcomer to success; being new to wealth, and having relatively little culture, he spends it without caution or prudence, often with a penchant for the very modern or fashionable. Essentially he begins to do all the things he thinks a wealthy person ought to do, and in the process draws a lot of attention to himself.

He is easily told apart from those more accustomed to affluence by his preference for brand new, convertible German sports cars, and frequenting expensive, highly-visible chic cafeterias for lunch. Everything he wears is brand new. His taste in art is poor or lacking. He lacks essential social graces and may have little or no sense of humour. Anyone caught being on the cellphone en route to the golf course is probably a JCL.

Essentially he remains a socialite, so he is likely to be seen amongst other JCLs and, when not playing golf, an entourage of young, good looking but always overdressed gold-digging women desperately trying to fall pregnant to him.
"So, the Vittoria for lunch?"
"I avoid that cafe, it's full of johnny come latelies."
"I must say, that entire shopping centre is the same. I saw this johnny come lately perusing the jewelry store window while on his cellphone talking about golf"
"It's the suburb. Full of rich youngsters and soccer moms."
"I concur. Let's go to a bar downtown instead."
"Sweet. At least the women there want more than our wallets"
"I was thinking along similar lines."
"Let's not tell our wives"
"Let's not"

Labelass

A special kind of idiot who uses labels as a substitute for comprehension.
There's no derogatory label for people who label others. This creates an imbalance in the linguistic arsenal. Example:

Person 1: "If you don't watch sports, you're a racist."

Person 2: "Oh yeah? Well, you're...a...person who assigns labels that are not sensible!"

See what I mean? It's like being in a stick fight and not having a stick. But we can fix that by concocting a...wait for it...label for labelers. I suggest that such a person be called a labelass. Example:

Person 1: "If you don't watch sports, you're a racist."

Person 2: "You're a labelass."

Person 1: "What just happened here?"

Lahela

A Lahela is a great friend and will always be by your side no matter what. She may come across as shy and maybe stuck up at first, but once you get to know her she is the craziest girl you have ever met. Lahela is very artistic, athletic, and intelligent. She is good at almost anything you can think of. A Lahela is not afraid to stand up for herself and for what we believes. If you get on her bad side you will regret it. She can destroy you in a heartbeat.
