Jobs with a whimsical quality and tailor made for romantic comedies. There’s a reason why plumbers are found in pornos …they don’t really fit the brief for romcoms, despite being a respectable career choice in our dire economic times. Examples of romcom jobs are:
Greeting card writer (500 Days of Summer)
Bookshop Owner (You’ve Got Mail)
Apartment dresser (Leap Year)
Playwright (Something’s Gotta Give)
Ballet dancer (Saving Face — queer romcom with Joan Chen from Twin Peaks)
Wedding dress designer (The Parent Trap)
Aquarium veterinarian (50 First Dates)
eBay store owner (40 Year Old Virgin — shoutout to the hottest romcom girl of them all, Catherine Keener)
Film director (Pipe Dream — the guy is actually plumber but pretends to be a director to improve his dating life)
The intuitive path that is created by walkers/hikers or drivers vs a marked trail or road. Once established it can become an alternative or preferred route. Typically it is a short cut on a marked trail or road but it can also be a well-worn ribbon of exposed soil or rut in an open space where there are few trails to connect desired areas.
The desire line became so popular that the marked trail became overgrown and hard to follow from lack of use. However, over time the desire lines became so eroded they were unusable and abandoned in favor of the switch back trails.
Spanish slang, with a literal meaning of "large butt." Nalgón is masculine, nalgona is feminine. It refers to someone who is slow moving. It is often used by drivers when stuck behind such a person.
This nalgón in front of me in the Buick is going to make me late for my date! Oh, it's just some viejito. Figures.
