That's life in the big city 

It's a line from the 1987 film RoboCop. Spoken by an executive of a weapons manufacturer immediately following the death of his colleague at a failed demo of their new mechanized law enforcement robot. The character exemplifies the callous, dog-eat-dog mentality popular amongst business execs in the 80’s. It borders on sociopathic — similar to the nature in which Patrick Bateman speaks in American Psycho.

Cox: Too bad about Kinney, huh?
(Kinney shot to death by mech minutes ago)
Morton: *shrug* That's life in the big city.

Sex and The City Syndrome 

"Sex and The City" syndrome refers to a woman who needs a man to validate her existence. This goes for both serial daters, and women who consider themselves (or are) serial monogamists for the same reason.

It is a very sad, and might I say, quite pathetic, syndrome.

White women seem to be the primary sufferers, however, women from any race or ethnic background can suffer from Sex and The City syndrome.

This term is primarily used to define a certain attitude the show gave off. The attitude that despite being a successful, beautiful woman..one has to have a man to feel completely fulfilled.

1. A woman who continuously dates different men because she is afraid to be alone, or because she feels (consciously or subconsciously) that having a man validates her existence. This can apply to women who are constantly looking to get a relationship out of these dates, or women who are constantly looking for sex as a means to fulfill some long empty void.

"My best friend is going on ANOTHER date...she was so depressed last week because "no one wanted her." Ugh, she definitely has Sex and The City Syndrome!"

2. A woman who has been in a monogamous relationship for a while with a man who treats her badly or unequally, yet she stays with him for fear of being alone, or fear that without him her existence will no longer be worthwhile.

"She is crying again over something her boyfriend did to her...he treats her like such crap, yet stays with him. Its like she needs him to validate her existence, or she is so afraid and unsure of herself she feels she needs a man...a man who treats her like crap! She SO has Sex and The City Syndrome..its sad."

Sex and the City Syndrome 

Being a female in favor of circumcision or thinking intact penises are dirty. Obviously hypocritical, since vulvas and vaginas smell a lot stronger.

From the show: I am so circumcising my son. I don't want anyone calling him a shar pei.
Girl 1: My four-year-old host brother from Spain was circumcised.
Girl 2: Why wait so long?
Someone who actually knows what the fuck he or she is talking about: Why do it at all?
Anyone who has Sex and the City Syndrome is someone I won't waste my time with.

The Harlem City Shuffle 

The Harlem City Shuffle is a sex position where you put a hole through the drywall with the headboard of your bed, and then your friends on the other side doing basketball tricks. And then, while making eye contact with them, you all nut together.

Will: “Hey, did you guys hear about the party going on at Rich’s place on Saturday night?”
Vincent: “Wait, Rich’s place? You don’t mean to tell me we’re bringing back The Harlem City Shuffle, do you…?”

The Kansas City Shuffle 

The Kansas City Shuffle: a "Kansas City Shuffle" is a most clever deception, one that requires thought on the part of the inciter and great ignorance on the part of the deceived. The primary goal of the Kansas City Shuffle is to catch one completely off-guard and unaware so that trickery can take place.

The movie Lucky Number Sleven's plot was an example of The Kansas City Shuffle at its best.

The City High School 

Highschool in West LA well known for shutting down after only lasting 1 year in 2016. The school was forced to shut down in september due to them being half a million dollars in debt and under-enrolled. All 116 students were forced to find a new school within a week. The principal of the school warned her “PTA” parents (Weren’t actually the PTA but her inner circle of parents) ahead of time that the school would be shut down before the final decision was publically made. She used her connection to neighboring charter school New West to get the the PTA’s kids in. It was widely noticed that all of the students whom she helped were white, and the students who found out later when all of the inner-circle parents kids had already left to other schools, were primarily black and hispanic.

Most of the students who attended city high also attended the prior school, city charter middle school. Small school but everyone in West LA knows someone who knows someone who went to city school during this time.

All of the students from City High School (2016) are right now either crackheads, popular pretty instagram girls, pregnant, drug dealers, GHETTO or fatherless.

I went to The City High School and it was traumatizing.

“What high school did you go to?”
“Oh I went to two, I went to this school called City High School and then I went to Uni.”
“Oh! City high isn’t that the one from LA Times that got shut down? My friends cousin went there!”
