Outside The Shelf

To be Outside The Shelf or OSTS is to be an innovator of words and ideas beyond the bounds of a collection of books on a shelf or the collection of arts including music, fine art, expressions, writing, and other recorded history.

One who is Outside The Shelf is a writer or artists with a new perspective far from the common view of things. This type of writer has a neo-cosmic delivery and a broad cognizance of the world.

That writer is innovative and aware; therefore, he is outside the shelf.

the outsiders

an intriguing novel of social class differences, always to be quoted in akward situations, such as:
a fat girl just told you she loves you, you respond with "sometimes i like it better when the old man's hittin' me. atleast then he knows i'm alive."
and she responds with go home.

and thus, young children, stay gold.

chula: YOU AiNT GOT NUTTIN ON ME BABii AiGHT??

outsider

Someone who likes being outside and does a bunch of hiking, camping, that kind of stuff. Crossheirs Sportswear started using it to refer to people who are into that kind of thing. Frequently found at REI, or any "outpost". They talk a lot about adventuring and exploring the world.

Jimmy is off backpacking again this week, he's such an outsider.

Wannabe Outsider

A wannabe outsider is the type of person who would do anything to be original, but, in reality once you figure out what he/she is doing its pretty pathetic. Here are some quirks of a wannabe outsider

1) He/she almost always go to reseraunts that no one goes to

2) Think and talk about emotional representations of things when you have known him/her for years and they have never talked like that before

3) When confronted about being a wannabe of anykind, he/she will call you out on personal things(like you don't have a girlfriend, etc)

Wannabe outsider: Hey lets go to this resteraunt that no one has ever heard of, they sell the best burgers and fries!

Normal person(you): How about burger king(or any other mainstream resteraunts)

Wannabe outsider: Nah I have never liked fast food

Normal person(you): But you just said an underground food place that sells fast foo.... you are such a wannabe outsider

Rank Outsider

A particularly bad fart committed in an enclosed space: It's rank and you wish it was outside.

Bloody Nora, luv. What have you eaten? That one's a rank outsider. (HM Elizabeth II to Prince Phillip on tour in Thailand 2006)
