single-strobe light-flick

Refers to a "consideration for sleepers" action whereby --- in order to briefly look at something from the doorway of a pitch-dark room in which you know that one or more other humans are seeking a little shut-eye --- you first open up your own eyelids extra-wide to allow yourself maximum visibility, and then perform a super-quick "on-off" action (one-half-second at the absolute maximum) with the room's light-switch, so that you are able to check on whatever you needed to know (such as that there is nothing on the floor between you and the sleeper's bed, and thus you can safely tiptoe forward in the dark and crawl in with the slumberer without tripping), but minimize the disturbance of the sleepy person(s) by not having the ceiling-lamp lit long enough for him to even be much aware of it.

Considerate dude who's staying overnight at his girlfriend's apartment: I always use the "single-strobe light-flick" prior to re-joining Tiffany in her bed after I visit the Little Boys' Room during the night, just to make sure that neither of her cats has decided to stretch itself out on the floor of the bedroom. It avoids any unexpected "yowls in the dark", plus Tiffany tells me that she seldom even notices my brief room-illuminations, so that's a good thing.

West Texas Single

When an oilfield worker comes to west Texas for work, and acts as though he’s single for his two weeks there, but in reality has a wife and three kids back home, often states a way.

As often found in Tinder bios ‘Please actually be single, and not west Texas single.’ or ‘Don’t let me find out you have a wife back home.’

single together

the idea of being in a serious relationship stirs feelings of mild anxiety for a lot of people, so some people while not being in a serious relationship, but are in love with someone, call themselves being “single together”.

Person 1 (while referring to person 2 and themselves) : hey we are single, hit us up ;)
Person 3 : y’all- they are single together, iykyk

Single Stare

Someone who wears a patch over one eye and stares.

I went to school with a creepy kid who always gave me a single stare.

Single Serving Neighbor

1. A single serving neighbor is someone who stays at a vacation rental near your permanent residents. You are neighbors with this person or people during their stay and then likely never see these them again.

2. Single serving neighbors are the neighbors you have while stay at a vacation rental and likely never interact with after you return home.

Derived from Fight Club's Single Serving Friend

My neighborhood is full of vacation rentals. All I have single serving neighbors. Here one week, gone the next.

We rented a house in an old neighborhood near the downtown area. Full of people's comings and goings. Is the guy at the end of the block a jerk? Are the kids across the street the sweet angels they seems? What is the woman next door's story? We'll never know. They are our single serving neighbors for the weekend and come Monday we'll never see them again.

Single mom shooting

When a male is shooting a gun incorrectly and hitting everything but the target because the Mom left Dad so the male had no father to show him how to be a man.

Look at Pookie behind the car doin a single mom shooting, popping that gun sideways over the roof without looking!!! He’s a product of a single mother.
