Dealing with relationships can be complicated, and there are often hidden stories behind couples' surface-level interactions. Every relationship is unique, and each partner brings their past experiences, values, and communication styles to the table.

core values

This is a new version of the phrase mission statement. These are normally vague and cheesy goals/objectives that cannot be measured.

It's similar in principle to family values but not quite as sinister.
"Our core values are respect, development, empowerment and truthiness"

i.e. we really like these words, they sound great but we sure as hell aren't going to stop selling landmines to rebel armies in Africa.

resale value

When you discover you're disappointed with the car you just bought, this is the amount of money you can expect to recover when reselling it.

If you borrowed money to buy this car, cars with low resale values can put you "Upside down," meaning you will owe more for the car than what you can expect to get for it. Cars with a high resale value will allow you to pay down your remaining loan.

Generally speaking, one doesn't normally need to worry about resale value unless they bought a car because they believed it would suddenly make them "cool."
"I bought a Honda Civic because I thought it would make me cool; but that didn't work. Luckily, it has a high resale value, so I can get rid of it and buy something better."

San Francisco Values

noun, -- gay marriage, cutting and running from Iraq, coddling terrorists, raising taxes, amnesty for illegals
Over the space of a few days, the phrase "San Francisco values" has passed from the lips of conservative FOX News commentator Bill O'Reilly and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich onto the editorial pages of the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, where the paper endorsed a Republican congressional candidate because a Democratic House would mean "Pelosi will be speaker and her far-left San Francisco values -- gay marriage, cutting and running from Iraq, coddling terrorists, raising taxes, amnesty for illegals -- will become the House agenda."

In a recent online fundraising pitch, the now-pundit Gingrich asked supporters, "Will everything you've worked so hard to accomplish be lost to the San Francisco values of would-be Speaker Nancy Pelosi?" In Thursday's National Review Online, House Speaker Dennis Hastert asked, "Do we really want Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco values leading the culture war?" Neither elaborated on the meaning of "San Francisco values."

Values

A very dynamic set of beliefs that serve as a core tenant of political candidate campaigns, yet are not a reliable metric to determine a candidate's worthiness of office.

The term represents one or more beliefs in the candidate's belief system. A popular strategy is to campaign on strong core values while avoiding clearing defining what those values actually are.

Candidates typically avoiding defining their values and will typically deflect to another talking point. However, when cornered, candidates may attempt to define their values, but throughout the rest of the campaign they are free to add, edit, or remove any subset of their values for the sake of voter turnout.
Sarah Palin boasts about her small-town values, which include Christianity, pro-life, small government, being able to see Russia, giving shoutouts to elementary school classrooms during a televised debate, and allowing her daughters to throw massive parties, destroy property, and let innocent boys take the fall for their actions.
