milli-Helen

From milli-, meaning one thousanth and Helen, the name of a beautiful woman from classic literature.

Unit for measuring beauty. One millihelen is the ammount of beauty that will launch exactly one ship.

Backround information: In the epic poem "The Illiad" by Homer, Helen of Troy is considered the most beautiful woman. Her beauty was the cause the Trojan war, because a man named Paris declaired her the most beautiful, and not one of the godesses. Because her beauty caused many men to go to war (in a society that revolved around the sea and boats), it can be said that her face was so beautiful it launched one thousand ships. So, one milli-Helen would be one thousanth of a Helen, or enough to launch one ship.

Alternate spelling: millihelen

This word was used by the character Zane in Scott Westerfeld's novel "Pretties":
Zane: "What would you give the view?"
Tally: "Give it?"
Zane: "A hundren milli-Helens? Five hundred? Maybe a whole Helen?"
Tally: "I'd give it none. It's Uglyville, after all."

Hebe-Jeebies

The creeps, the feeling of the hair raising on the back of your neck when you get scared or spooked.

Walking down a dark alley at night always gives me the Hebe-Jeebies.

Helen Keller Fart

Farting while you wipe your ass such that you "hear" it with your fingertips. Very common during bouts with diarrhea.

My fingertips are ringing from the loud Helen Keller fart I cut during an ass wipe.

doing a helen

Putting up with no shit and walking out on your boss when he's being a jackass.

Also being able to get said boss to buy you drinks even after you walked out of work half way through your shift.

Person 1: "What's she doing, she's not 'sposed to finish for another four hours?"
Person 2: "She's doing a helen"
Person 1: "Right on!"

"OMG I cant believe she just done a helen, power to you!"
