Desert Rose

A desert rose is a symbol of beauty, hope and resilience surviving in harsh conditions. It can be used to describe a woman who has endured a hard life but still remained a good and loving person.

Did you know her husband was abusing her all these years? Finally she's free of him, that lady is a real desert rose.

ecological food desert

whereas just "food desert" is currently considered (more from public health perspective) as places where the local populations do not have (convenient) access to affordable, healthy food, this more wholistic concept is a less human-centric understanding that implies both, a low, non-proportionate amount of food grown, and dependency on (usually both environmentally unsustainable and imbalanced fossil fuel energies and farm land stewardship) less-/unnatural imports of food from "non-renewable" or less lively (e.g. degraded/depleted top soils and watersheds) source farms

After being affected by the spirit of "deep ecology", I had a fresher awareness of the ironic, or at least unnatural, situation of how the grocery stores, markets, restaurants, etc. made it appear like there's an abundance of food, but our less- or unhealthy human-built environment that had me dependent on unsustainable, imbalanced energies (like fossil fuels and their corresponding implements) actually was an ecological food desert.

A term for loud rude gas station clerks who bitch about stupid shit. Typically wear a turban and makes good Arabic folks look bad! Similar to moon crickets but desert crickets are middle eastern not African.

Desert Skeleton

When players in a SMP (Survival Multiplayer) server dig all of the sand off of the desert biome, leaving the sandstone floating behind.

"Way to go, guys. No more sand in the entire resource world, there's just the desert skeleton now!"

desert bubbles

Slang for when referring to a large group of flies all in one small confined space. This comes from the behavior of flies that replicate that of floating bubbles.

Dude, look at all of those desert bubbles moving around in my truck.
