Alphaesthete
Alphaesthete is a term coined by social commentator Mark Simpson to describe men who outgrew metrosexuality.
In the early noughties, metrosexual practices such as male grooming became more and more normal as men began to pay as much attention to their personal appearance as their girlfriends/boyfriends did. This meant that men on the cutting edge of fashion needed a new way to distinguish themselves from the crowd.
Alphaesthetes did this by adopting more extreme grooming routines and by highlighting their fearless fashion sense by wearing clothes that even a diehard metrosexual would consider outlandish.
No clothes are off limits for an alphaesthete (apart from a Kappa tracksuit perhaps); he’ll wear anything even if it results in ridicule from his friends or people on the street.
An alphaesthete is as at home in D&G white swimming trunks as he is in an Oswald Boeteng three-piece suit and is likely to have a bathroom stuffed with more cosmetic product than the average high street pharmacy as well as the most up to date grooming gadgets to make sure his look is immaculate.

Back when I lived in upstate new york
A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

TLDU
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
Me: Woah! TLDU!
