As an astronaut is to the space program, the terranaut is to living on the earth ... only snootier.

A pseudo-profession that any of us can claim to have.

It sounds real if you say it with a straight face.
You are at a bar and the girl you're trying to pick up asks, "So, what do you do?"

In the past you've used, "I'm a doctor (or pilot, NFL Quarterback or other professions you're NOT) to impress her to get into her boudoir.

They don't work on today's savvy single. Besides she may BE a doctor, or pilot, or other professions ... and actually KNOW an NFL Quarterback. Getting busted sucks.

Tell her, "I'm a terranaut working in the private sector, now. The work is exciting, but dangerous. In fact, the reason I'm in town is to escort my (friend, boss, replacement, government inspector, etc) back to the jobsite. I'm leaving tomorrow. For security reasons I can't say more about that.

But what about you? What do you do?"

This makes you sound (1) interested in her, (2) like you used to work for the government. (3) The job is a little dangerous and (4) very mysterious - things that attract women. Also, the bit about you leaving make the one-night-stand more acceptable.

Man - you're in like Flint, now!

Teriana is a very weird person. She has blue-ish eyes and a weird smile. She tries to be funny often, but it doesn't always work. She can also be extremely annoying most of the time but hey, she's Teriana.
Friend#1: why does this girl keep texting in the group chat? She's so annoying!
Friend#2: that's Teriana.

The relationship between TerriAnn Hill and Brianna Buendia who are most likely in a band called Inspiration. They are in this 'bromance' relationship. Some Inspirationers thinks it's real, some of them don't. Some say you have to look into their eyes and find true love! Some just don't care and think it's fake.
