couture

From the french phrase "haute couture." Unfortunately the "haute" part means "high" and the "couture" part means having to do with fashion or sewing. Ignorant Americans mixed this up and now they use "couture" to refer to high end or luxury things. So next time you walk past a bakery offering "bagel couture" feel free to call them idiots, unless they actually sew their bagels.

Those juicy couture sweatpants are high fashion. (correct)

Oh look, a store advertising bagel couture. (incorrect)

couture it

To be successful in something against the odds.

Phrase originated from the UFC fighter Randy Couture, who in his 40's managed to beat his opponents decisively when no one thought he stood a chance.

Example 1:

<Person 1> This guy is unbeatable. No one was even close to beat him... Sorry man but I don't think you stand any chance.

<Person 2> Well, I guess I'm just going to have to Couture him.

Example 2:

"I have 3 days 'till the exams, and I haven't studied at all. If I drink a lot of coffee and study day and night, I might pass it. It's going to be ruff, but I guess I'll just have to Couture it!"
