Gatsby Express

The express train on the Port Washington Line of the Long Island Rail Road that stops exclusively at four towns all from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." Great Neck (West Egg), Manhasset, Plandome & Port Washington (East Egg).

I got off late from work and managed to hop on the last Gatsby Express.

Had to get home early, good thing I caught a Gatsby Express.

Gatsby girl

Named after the character Jay Gatsby from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby". A Gatsby Girl is a social climber, a woman with a lot of money or not enough. She can be found in hotel bars, expensive resorts and department stores. She will be a bit introverted, very superficial and have very few friends. Rumours that circulate around her make her out to be some kind of mysterious superhero or supervillain. In fact, she is quite shallow and confused.

The new marketing executive at work is such a "Gatsby girl". I heard she snared the CEO and that they spent New Years in Costa Rica. I can't stand her, she's so fake.

Gatsby Mania

the best character ever from the Novel " The Great Gatsby" by F.Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby Mania occurs when an english class studies this novel and all they can do is talk about GATSBY GATSBY, but that is because Gatsby is amazing!! ! Read it!! Gatsby epitomises the American Dream because of his capasity to hope - a quote which sums him up - " he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the milk of incomparable wonder!"

Jordon: Oh My God, The Great Gatsby is such an amazing book, I simply adore it, its like Gatsby Mania, I am now going to balance the novel off of my nose, to show my adoration!

Daisy: Gatsby? I love Gatby!

Tom: Urggghh, I don't like Gatsby, all this darn Gatsby Mania - he is just a "bootlegger"... pfttt...

Nick: I simply think Gatsby is lovely.... ahhh . (sighs)

Gatsby'd

When a friend or family member meets you somewhere without telling you your ex will also be there, especially after many years when they have not called or attempted contact in any way. This is usually initiated by the ex (the "Gatsby") but not always.

Coworker: How was your weekend?
Woman: Not good. My best friend invited me to brunch and didn't tell me that she also invited my ex, who is still apparently in love with me.
Coworker: Geez. Sounds like you got Gatsby'd.
