read between the lines

What nobody does these days before buying a product or signing a contract or entering a gambling sweepstake or applying for a job.

Read the New Testament

A university term being euphemistic for having a shit. Because the Gideon's free bible is generally the only reading material around that is not related to work.

reading my email

One of several innocent-sounding responses which can be used by regular porn viewers when their parents/spouse(s) ask them what they're doing on the computer.
Mom: What're you doing?
Juan: Reading my email.
Mom: Oh cool. Can I read mine too?
Dad: Uh no honey, come back later...this is an important email. We'll be done in about an hour.
