Robin Hood

An ingenious hairstyle for the folically challenged, whereby the gentleman (or lady) in question grows a large quantity of hair from the side of his (or her) head and, upon achieving the necessary length, scrapes said hair across his (or her) shiny bald centre-pate. This creates, at first glance, the illusion of a full crown of hair. This look is more commonly termed a 'comb-over'.

Origin: Sweden

Etymology - Robin Hood steals from the rich and gives to the poor -- thus you 'take' from the rich, plentiful locks that sprout from the lower scalp and 'donate' to the impoverished central scalp.

Jarod: Brian, I have to say that wig looks great on you!

Brian: Its not a wig, I went for a Robin Hood.

Jarod: That's great. You look amazing plus you probably saved upwards of 70 pounds by not forking out on one of those ridiculously expensive wigs you see nowadays

Roeing

Wearing any piece from a really ugly clothing line that looks like a 3 year old should be wearing it.

I am roeing today in my printing leggings and non-matching unflattering shirt.

Robiny

A yellow flower with a striped green stem that is highly seductive, especially to horses, and which uses its delightful charm to promote itself and its past accomplishments while remaining adorably cute and kind of wonderful, at least according to horses and ponies and the occasional outdoorsy human. Use hand sanitizer after touching.

Gosh, that Robiny sure accomplished a lot in high school. I think I want to get some more of it tomorrow. Its aroma is delightful.

Steve: Janick, did you know that there are actually 8 continents, not 7?
Janick: What?! No way! Mindfuck...
Steve: Nah I'm just kidding there's only 7...
Janick: Well that's a rewindmindfuck...

Can you believe what Mr Smith did? He took my sale and commission and gave it to Terry. That's some serious Robin Hood shade there!
