Partially Fluent

Partially Fluent (adj.) — A descriptive term in psycholinguistics and second-language acquisition referring to an intermediate proficiency state in which an individual demonstrates functional communicative competence but exhibits measurable limitations in lexical retrieval, syntactic accuracy, or automaticity of speech production. Partial fluency is characterized by the ability to convey intended meaning across routine contexts while still relying on compensatory strategies—such as circumlocution, increased processing time, or simplified structures—to offset incomplete linguistic mastery.

Although he can handle day-to-day conversations and understand most basic commands, the new employee is only partially fluent in Spanish, and still requires assistance with technical terminology.

Montana Leaky Faucet

A sex act in which a man, right as he is about to ejaculate, walks over to a freezer and freezes his penis for 8-12 hours. After his penis is thoroughly frozen, he walks back to his partner and holds his penis over his or her mouth, allowing cum to slowly drip out as the penis thaws.

Person 1: "Damn bro, my girl wants me to give her a Montana Leaky Faucet tomorrow and I'm not sure if I'm ready!"
Person 2: "Your penis will surely hurt!"

Whack-A-Mole faucets

Refers to those dumb-a** water-saver spigots with push-to-operate valves dat gradually rise back up and stop da water-flow after a ridiculously short time, obliging you to keep "bashing da buttons" every few seconds while trying to wash your hands or fill your drinking-cup.

One fairly-simple way to keep Whack-A-Mole faucets running continuously is to slap da "H" and "C" valves alternately, and always doing so before da currently-running one stops flowing; this causes both valves to stay open more of da time, allowing for an uninterrupted flow of water from da spout.

turning off the faucets

abruptly ending financial contributions; to financially ostracize; the stopping of monetary flow. Often used as a serious warning in a quid pro quo situation.

phrase; idiom

The first recorded usage of the viral phrase 'turning off the faucets' was in 2024 by Nevin Shapiro during a Momentum Podcast episode. “I said Coach, if that kid don’t see the field I’m turning off the faucets”, for the purpose of clearly and definitively communicating to Larry Coker, that all funding to the Miami Hurricane football program will immediately come to a halt if he didn’t start then freshman Devin “Hurricane” Hester for subsequent games of the 2003 season. It’s an effective way for one to convey the gravity and seriousness of a situation involving money in a not so subtle yet sophisticated manner.

"If you don't meet the deadline, I'm turning off the faucets on this project."
“If you don’t have a 3.5 GPA by the end of the semester I’m turning off the faucets!”
“Bro she broke up with you as soon as you turned the faucets off, she's a gold digger!”
