Plinkey

Adj. This is a delightful nonsense word that my sister and I made up and used as kids to describe music from an upright player piano with tacks on the hammers.

That plinkey music always makes me think of pizza at Shakeys.

Pinkerton-tier

When a scrub is supposed to show up for something then pretends to be doing something else to waste your time so they can claim the moral high-ground for "always being available" when in reality they just keep ducking you.

Bob was supposed to play our game on tuesday, then again on wednesday, now its friday and he says hes busy again!

Yeah hes total Pinkerton-tier!

Pinkertons

Bastards.

The Adams Express Company turned to the Pinkertons National Detective Agency in 1874 to stop the James-Younger Gang. The Chicago-based agency worked primarily against urban professional criminals, as well as providing industrial security, such as strike breaking.

pinkerton

n., adj., a male of white descent who possesses an acute sexual interest in Japanese women or Asian women in general. See also: Yellow Fever. A white male Asian fetishist. Will often try to justify his racist preference by expressing an 'interest' in Japanese 'culture'. May have an accompanying interest in anime, manga, or the like. May also make such claims as to be 'Asian at heart', or similar statements. Pinkertons are generally middle to upper middle class, of any political persuasion, of any geographic location, but in larger numbers concentrated in the United States and Britain, with both of their rich imperialist traditions. The North American subspecies of Pinkerton may futilely attempt to justify his sexual objectification by offering bizzarre explanations couched in warped logic. "I just like girls with light skin and black hair" or "Asians just look better to me", ignoring the fact that other races possess such physical traits. Will quite often take college Japanese courses in order to further his lecherous pursuits.

etymology: taken from the name of a character from Puccini's Madame Butterfly, Pinkerton, a United States Naval Officer who pursues a fifteen year-old Japanese girl while stationed there, despite having no intention of staying with her, eventually returning stateside to his American wife after impregenating Cio-Cio-san, or Madame Butterfly. He later returns to Japan with his American wife to take the bastard hapa child of Butterfly/Suzuki and Pinkerton home with the two of them to take care of, which ultimately drives Suzuki to suicide.

See also: White Devil

n. "The pinkerton was surprised when the Japanese exchange student declined his invitation for dinner and sex."

adj. "Rivers Cuomo is feeling mighty pinkerton these days."

Nick Pinkerton

From the Latin word "pinkus," meaning "one with vagina," Nick Pinkerton is a controversial figure in public lore, as he possesses both female genitalia and a propensity to flirt with strong men. However, somehow Nick has escaped the public eye by masquerading as a male, despite his overwhelming femininity.

Nobody should have to meet Nick Pinkerton.
