Catch-22

A government regulation that pretty much is an oxymoron, because it contradicts itself.

The term "Catch-22" first came out in the book by the same name.

catch 22

A woman who is so ugly that in order to bang her you need to drink so much booze that you can no longer get it up.

That chick who works on the next floor up is a real catch 22.

Catch-22

Awesomeness in 2 forms:
1. The book (as previously defined).
2. The ska band- amazing both live and in your cd player. Wonderful mosh-full-ness, skanking, and hyperness.

1. I read Catch-22 this summer. It was incredible.
2. I saw Catch-22 live this summer. It was incredible.

catch 22

Basically a dilemma. Something that happens which you can't escape from, so basically you are probably gonna be in trouble anyway.

A roundabout- never ending.

"I'm in a catch 22, they're gonna find out sooner or later and i'm gonna be in trouble anyway"

Feminist Catch-22

Lady feminists want to be treated equally, until they are.

And then she was all like: "How could you treat me like that... I'm a woman!"

Hairy Catch 22

Where it's early in "no shave November" and you have to take pictures. You either keep the hair and look like a pubescent boy in the pictures, or shave it off and break the man code.

Man 1: Ah, man! I have to take wedding pics this weekend. I need to cut this peach fuzz off!

Man 2: Bro, it's no shave November. You can't do this.

Man 1: I'm in a hairy catch 22!

catch-22

Something that you need to obtain another thing, but you need the other thing to obtain "something".
