the second-oldest profession

Engineering.

The various religious texts record that in the beginning there was chaos, from which a God created the heavens and earth. That's a feat of engineering. God also said "let there be light" and there was light - a task which now universally falls to the electrical engineer.

But why, then, is engineering only the second-oldest profession? The oldest profession is lawyer. Who do you think created all of that chaos?

Secondhand Embarrassment

When someone's actions other than your own embarrasses you. Also a common feeling when reading or watching something embarrassing like a show or book.

1. Person 1: Did you see that girl trip today? It was so embarrassing, she dropped everything in her hands.

Person 2: Yeah, I know I couldn't handle watching her scramble around, trying to pick it up. The secondhand embarrassment was real.

2. The Character in the book was so embarrassing , that I couldn't continue reading it, cause I got secondhand embarrassment too much.

Second Avenue Subway

An improvement of New York City's public transportation that has been desperately needed since it was first proposed in 1919, the Second Avenue Subway still inspires manic laughter and searing anger in many at its mere mention. Persons living on the East Side are, naturally, most susceptible to such fits as they are psychologically unbalanced from riding the city's most overcrowded and unreliable subway line on Lexington Avenue. New Yorkers may recall that this line was promised some 50 years ago as a replacement for the decommissioned elevated trains on the East side; some may even recall the $500 million bond issue approved in 1951 for its construction that rapidly disappeared into the black hole of kleptocracy that is the New York City government. More colossally embarrassing than even Boston's Big Dig, the Second Avenue Subway, which will supposedly be constructed by 2011, may yet come to pass and restore the hopes and dreams of millions of Americans. The more likely possibility, however, given Mayor Michael Bloomberg's judgment that the city's most pressing transportation problem is that residents of Queens don't have easy access to an imaginary stadium on the West Side, is that the Second Avenue Subway will remain the unicorn for New Yorkers who have been screwed for over 50 years.

New Yorker A: "Second Avenue Subway."

New Yorker B: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my God, you're hysterical."

Emily Carr Secondary School

A high school in Woodbridge, Ontario full of italians, rich bitches and snakes. The school is filled with dumbass teachers and is a ground breeding of sluts and crackheads. The kids there like to start shit with other schools, spend their lunch hour at the plaza, scrap each other, smoke kush, get drunk and go to jams at night clubs. Half of the school has either a Blackberry or an iPhone.

guy 1: yoooo, lets reach emily carr secondary school
guy 2: naah bro, lets reach the plaza
