An evening slack is a term derived from the eponymous label of the creature commonly known as the evening slacker.
Originally, in the early 19th century, primarily in London, there were men of reduced means who would attach themselves to elegant women entering fancy restaurants. Their motives can only be imagined.
In defense, the women began sporting man-like clothing, but looser, more feminine versions, in order to deflect the attention of these less-than-desirable clingers on.
Over time, that particular dress became known as the slacker, or for brevity's sake, the slack.
The tradition has really died off, except in pockets of conservative Protestant culture. Rumor has it that the term is still used in a few resorts in the northeastern United States.

Please note that during dinner, jackets are required for gentlemen age twelve and over, and for ladies, dresses, skirts or evening slacks.

Get the even-triggeredmug. An unknown action that somehow is necessary to life. Shocking events, positive or negative, sometimes inhibit a person from being able to 'even', resulting in the person 'literally dying'.
Scholars are unsure about what bodily functions are described by the word 'even'.
I'm literally dying because I can't even.
That event that unfolded before my eyes was so startling and against my expectations, that I have lost all my ability to even. Please call an ambulance.
Even- also a name that derives from the Norse name of evindyr (correct me if I’m wrong with spelling.)

Get the Evenmug. A phrase said when you say something so outlandish or unrealistic that one may believe you are just saying it as a joke and don't actually mean it, so you say this to make it clear you're dead serious.

Get the i'm not even jokingmug. A common Norwegian male name and one of the most frequented pun-names.
It is also overused by white girls that somehow stop living when they no longer can do Even.
With great power comes great responsibility as an Even can end the lives of white girls by simply denying them the chance to do Even.

This Starbucks coffee is so great I can't Even right now! or Even, you're such a great friend, but you're also a cunt.

Get the “Eren what the hell is wrong with you?! Of course it still counts even if you did it with your socks on!”mug. Beast from norse mythology. Considered a God by some, destined to rule the lost Nico islands. Usualy imagined as a mix between dragon, bear and man, with two golden hammers and a hat with a small spike on top.
