49th parallel

Slang reference for the border between the United States and Canada. The 49th parallel of latitude does make up the western third of the U.S. - Canada border (the border dips south through the Great Lakes region), but the term refers to the entire border, referring to both the geographic and cultural divide between the two countries. Although scrutiny is understandably higher since 9/11, the border is still probably the most open international border in the world.

The 49th parallel is the longest undefended border in the world.

paralytic

Derived from 'paralysed' or 'paralysis' is commonly used in slang to describe a state achieved after drinking too much.
Note: This word is often wrongly written and pronounced as paraletic

What did you do at the weekend?
I went out with the lads and got absolutely paralytic playing drinking games.
Never again!

Parallel

Two separate scenarios with the same line, act, meaning, etc. Often seen in tv shows like Andi Mack.

Andi Mack stan: did you know that Buffy carries Cyrus once every season in Andi Mack?
Broski 1: no way! Dang, the writers sure do love writing parallels in this show

A person who hasn't had even the faintest fantasy of going gay or bi much less actually take that step. A proper straight person.

gay guy (1) : my new neighbour is hawt af. You should see his eyes and his abs.
gay guy (2) : shame really cuz I heard that he is straight as parallel.
gay guy (1) : bummer :(

no-pocalypse

This occurs when Judgment Day, as predicted by a fool and his followers, passes without incident.

I wish I could go to your no-pocalypse party but since the Rapture didn't happen, I need to do my homework. Bummer!
