The Grey Man

The "Grey Man," you must become the grey man, you should act like the grey man.

This term describes the intentional act of dressing and behaving in an inconspicuous manner, in order to avoid any unwanted attention from strangers or authorities. The goal is to dress, walk, and behave as a local, without attracting any attention to yourself. To "blend in" in a foreign (usually hostile) enviroment. To be visible and yet invisible at the same time.

It is a term sometimes used by special forces or espionage operatives, in scenarios when an operative in the field must assume the disguise of an average, unremarkable local civilian. The goal is to use this disguise in order to travel unchecked through populated, urban areas whilst remaining undetected, and to avoid attracting any attention to himself or his real identity as a foreign agent.
"A pilot shot down behind enemy lines should act like the grey man: quickly don the garb of the locals, avoid eye contact, conversation, and children." (As they are more likely to point or shout when they see someone who is unusual or noteworthy.)

A wanted fugitive on the run from authorities would certainly want to become "the grey man" in order to avoid leaving a memorable impression on anyone who may recognize his face; they would be less likely to describe his appearance accurately if he is not particularly memorable.

"It was my first time in Moscow. I didn't speak the language very well and I didn't want to stand out as a foreigner, so I just decided to act like the grey man and blend in with the locals as best I could."

2 Greenies for a Blackie

The art of skillfully gesturing someone to roll down their car window at a stop light after witnessing them successfully pick their nose and eating it, by a using hand cranking gesture. When they roll their window down ask them if they would be willing to trade you "2 greenies (2-GREEN colored boogers) for a blackie." (a BLACK colored booger)

A) Letting them know you actually watched them the whole time, while they excavated around in their nose for their boogers & then ate them.

B) Embarrassing the fuck out of the nasty bastard for subjecting you to having witness that disgusting act they performed while in traffic, at that stop light.

C) Hopefully reminding them in not so many(unspoken)words, other than what you already said to them- it's a filthy habit that they should have given up as a small child.
"Hey dude that looked pretty tasty, and I didn't have my lunch yet. Yours look way
better than mine, bummer. Next time I'll trade you 2 greenies for a blackie."

The Greatest Love Story Ever Told

The story of a man afraid of flying, and an angel afraid of falling, who somehow met in the middle. The man who denied the existence of angels came to love one. The angel who never felt began to feel. The man who was saved from an eternity in Hell by an angel. The angel who fell in every way imaginable for a man. The man, with a clear path to escape, decided instead to stay in Purgatory for a year, searching for his angel, praying to him every night. Begging. When he found him, he held him; he told him that he needed him, that he'd get him out, even if it killed them both. The angel rejected his faith, his family, his home, and everything he knew, so he could keep the man safe. They stay together despite fate, despite what they are, because they refuse to be pulled apart.
We're family. We need you. I need you.
I'm hunted, I rebelled, and I did it, all of it, for you.
"People aren't exaggerating when they call Destiel the greatest love story ever told."

I ran out of ammo so I yelled across the orphanage Jesus I need a melee weapon. Never in my life have I seen a Mexican throw a sandal so fast in my life. 657 prostitutes fell that day to the holy sandal of Mexican Jesus. That day went down in history as The Great Coochie wars"
