spoon boy

Any bald kid dressed in white, who possess the uncanny ability to bend spoons.

Spoon Boy: Do not try and bend the spoon...that's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth...
Neo: What truth?
Spoon Boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon Boy: Then you will see, it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

plastic spoon

Born into the lower or working class. If you were born with a plastic spoon in your mouth, you grew up riding public transport, eating food out of cans, begging your parents for a quarter, wearing bargain bin clothes and using the internet at public libraries...

Basically the opposite of spoiled; while not necessarily poor, you missed out on a lot of the experiences well-to-do suburban kids enjoyed. Nothing was ever handed to you, you know from an early age that life is not fair, and the only way you'll accumulate wealth is through hard work and sheer luck. You find comfort in knowing that you appreciate what you do have, not taking for granted that you are still more privileged than most of the world.

Nevertheless you can't help but envy those born into wealth who travel the world on their trust funds and go directly from school to yuppiedom without breaking a sweat or sucking corporate dick for twenty years before being promotes to regional executive.

Some of us were just born with plastic spoons in our mouths...

egg and spoon

Like 'harvest moon', another rhyming version of coon, which I think we all understand.

'See Sharon's new bloke, another bloody egg and spoon'

silver spoon

1970's term for heroine.
The hippies used to melt heroine in a silver spoon because sliver, unlike many of the available metals, wouldn't leach toxins into the drug.

"...Crazy laughter in another room and she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon..." The Eagles, Witchy Woman.

dark side of the spoon

Comes from the band Ministry, a pun on the famous Pink Floyd song Dark Side of the Moon, it portrays the carbon build-up on the bottom of a spoon that has been used to cook drugs (i.e. heroin).

Can be used as slang for heroin use.

I used to live on the 'dark side of the spoon'.

spoonerism

Transposing inappropriate begginnings on two different words.

Jordan made the ultimate spoonerism today when he said, "They were ligging the erections."

spoon flipper

exhibiting qualities of suburban SUV car culture motherhood and embedded into the ideology of happiness by way of consumerism disguised as healthy choices; as in the Yoplait commerical in which two white women with mom haircuts in capris and sleeveless button-down shirts flip their spoons in the air with satisfaction after finishing a serving of low-fat Yoplait.

We are absolutely not stopping at the outlet mall, what kind of spoon flipper are you?
