Durham's one and only "proper" nightclub, which changed its name to DH1 in recent years. Not really as fun as Klute, but at least it's not such a crush.
Born August 28, 1982 as Margaret LeAnn Rimes, the singer landed a record deal at age 12 and became a huge hit at 13 1/2 after her debut single, "Blue" was released. After tiring of having to live up to the "little girl who sang 'Blue'" image, she created her own new image with the album "Twisted Angel", which contained small tastes of her country music roots along with pop and rock music. Married actor/dancer/model Dean Sheremet on February 23, 2002.
a corporate Nashville assembly-line teen product modeled up to appeal to the soccer mom crowd in the fucking PC 90s. She was geared up to have a "wholesome" goody-goody image to appeal to people who don't like their music too challenging. She was declared a teen prodigy when she covered the country classic "Blue". Right after that, several albums consisting of her covering other people's songs were released. She has destroyed good songs like "Purple Rain" by Prince, and predictably sang "Christian" ("You Light Up My Life") and "patriotic" songs (just in time - right after 9/11, imagine that! Cha-ching!). Around 2003 she released a teen crap dance album, it stunk. She records whatever is the heat of the moment. She is a manufactured star, indicative of what's wrong with popular music today.
On Thanksgiving Day 1997, my mom turns on the radio and Leann Rimes is wailing her version of "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers. Everyone in the whole fuckingfamily is impressed and struck with awe at her extreme "talent", everyone, that is, except me.
Rimie is a girl that is classy, real and intelligent . She has high taste and cannot stand fake people. Once you have the honor to be in her inner circle, you will realize how fun and sweet she is as well. Random fact- Rimie knows the best local coffee shops and has the best collection of luxary bags.
I have to be a Rimie if I want to go to have a great time at Parisfashion week.
Nickname given to bales of marijuana thrown overboard or out of airplanes. Origin is reportedly from members of the US Coast Guard in the area of Southern Florida.
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
