Life is full of compromises is a phrase adults like to say to explain why their life sucks. Take my advice, don't compromise.

Binghamton Compromise

1. (n) an individual significantly below one's standards that one dates or sleeps with solely because of the lack of options available in Binghamton, New York, the 5th most depressing town in the US.

2. (n) the act of dating/sleeping with someone significantly below one's standards as a direct result of a lack of sexual options

It'd been way too long since I saw any action, so I finally pulled a Binghamton Compromise last night.

Compromise

Mixing a good idea with a bad idea to make a slightly less bad idea in the name of bipartisanship.

Good idea: you not being sodomised.
Bad idea: me fucking your mouth AND your ass.
And the compromise is

Slightly less bad idea: me fucking your mouth OR your ass.

compromise

When you promise you'll wear a G string for him if he promises to take it off of you as soon as possible.

Compromise Vegetarian

Someone who would be vegetarian for ethical reasons, who agrees philosophically with vegans and vegetarians, but who can not restrict their diet in a strict or inflexible way. Rather than eliminating meat and/or animal "products" from their diets, the compromise vegetarian lessens the impact of his or her diet by restricting animal consumption, eating much less meat than typical, scheduling vegan or vegetarian meals whenever possible, but not turning down any food they might need on the appropriate occasion.

"We ran out of money for food this month and got canned chili at the food bank today, so we're just going to have to be compromise vegetarians."
"The dairy industry is destroying the planet's water, but we have WIC and are too poor to turn down free cheese and dairy, I guess that makes us compromise vegetarians."
