hanging out my shingle

When a professional (especially a lawyer), rather than looking for a job, just goes and finds clients. This takes guts and a willingness to work constantly for precious little money in exchange for autonomy.

Law student 1: Hey, you made top 10%. I bet you could get that $160,000 opening at Rob, Ewe, and Howe!

Law student 2: Fuck those guys. I don't want to kiss ass for the next 20 years. I'm hanging out my shingle.

S.O.S. ( Shiney Object Syndrome)

Shiney Object Syndrome: is wide spread in women throughout the world namely America, it is a need for Bling, shiney and sparkley objects to adorn their bodies with, such as clothes, jewelry, purses, cell phones and just about any and all fashion accessories!

I can't walk through the mall without having to stop every five feet because of Michelle's S.O.S. ( Shiney Object Syndrome) , she catches all the sparkle and bling with her peripheral vision and has to stop at every store!

shinny

Term used most commonly in Canada and the northern region of Minnesota, specifically the iron range, as a short, alternate word for an unofficial game of hockey played outdoors on a flooded, home-made rink or a frozen body of water such as a pond or lake.

Grab your skates and stick, there's a game of shinny out on the pond!

shiney hairs

Women who are high maintenence but beautiful to look at usually exhibiting top of the line clothing, the perfect manicure, and a shiney, healthy, just out of the salon hairstyle.

Look at all the shiney hairs in the joint! I could probably get a number but I am intimidated by their beauty.

shiny upperclassmen syndrome

When a boy becomes more appealing to a girl simply because he is older than her, specifically if he is an upperclassman (junior or senior in high school). It seems many younger girls are drawn to older guys for this reason, even if he doesn't really have much else going for him. For girls, dating up is somewhat prestigious.
I suppose this could also apply in college, but I have not yet come across that scenario.

"Why does she even like him? He isn't very cute and his personality is just so-so..."

"She must have shiny upperclassmen syndrome."
