face control

From "feis kontrol", a Russian klub colloquialism of the English words "face control." Your "face" is your level of wealth, beauty, power, social standing, and overall desirability.

Feis kontrol is the power of the velvet rope, originally referring to the surly bouncers at the most exclusive Moscow klubs. It can literally refer to club door personnel, or it can be used figuratively to refer to some ideal social arbiter.

"I'd love to go to (exclusive club), but I'd never pass face control there."

"What is she doing here? Someone call face control!"

Air Traffic Control

Quite possibly the most important job in ensuring safety across the world. Making sure dumb ass pilots do not hit each other and making sure that passnengers can arrive on time regardless of what the pilots try to do to mess it up.

Wow, thanks to my great air traffic control skill, I helped 10,000 people take off and land safely and on time today.
