plastic tree

A type of plant life that is used to manufacture plastic grocery bags. They once grew in great numbers in Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

I only had one item at the checkout, so I told the cashier to save a plastic tree and just took the receipt.

Plastic

a type of girl who is popular and usually self centered. When you think about them you get a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach because you are jealous of their car and social status but you don't want to be them. Often self-degraded and stupid, can be sexually jaded.

The girl who I used to think was my girlfriend

plastic paddy

Noun: Term of abuse for someone who feigns being Irish when convenient. E.g. An entirely British person who in 1994, on realising that England had not made it to the soccer World Cup, had no one to cheer for and found green blood in their veins for as long as Republic of Ireland were still in with a chance.

What happened to your England shirt, you plastic paddy?
No, I'm Irish. Honest.
On which side?
Err... both. My Mum's cousin's got an Irish setter and my Dad was conceived in the County Kilburn. Guinness spritzer with a dash of Baileys please barman, cheers. Bejazus!

paper or plastic

Expression that denotes a mental shock, particularly when somebody asks something totally new in a difficult, alien or unknown dialect.

It originated from the shocking experience of immigrants shopping in an American supermarket, when asked about paper or plastic bags; it is a common first culture shock.

1) I didn´t understand a word he was saying. It was like a different language. Paper or plastic?!
