Dorian Gray syndrome 

Societal phenomenon characterised by not wanting to grow old. Named after Oscar Wilde's famous gothic horror novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray". Many celebrities also try to look younger, though this isn't necessarily psychological as looking nice is sometimes part of their job. Has 4 main components
-Narcissistic character traits
-Lack of the ability to emotionally mature
-Dysmorphophobia, which means excessive concern about conceived flaws in one's body
-And as a result of the former 3, a "Medical Lifestyle" such as hair transplants, botox, erectile dysfunction drugs, etc.

That guy is so obsessed with staying young, I think he has Dorian Gray syndrome.

The Picture of Dorian Gray 

This book is a great cautionary tale for all my friends who want emo boyfriends. With all the murderers, it'll be a miracle if not one person thinks “I can fix him.” You know, if you're into that sort of thing. Did you see how his last relationship ended? Stay safe out there, ladies.

I have to say that there was not a lot of good representation in this book. If I wanted to see white men fuck everything up I'd turn on the news. And how can Basil describe Dorian as his “artist muse” and they didn’t kiss once?! Queerbait much, Oscar Wilde?

All I can say is, if Oscar Wilde claims that Dorian Gray really is hot, we can only assume Dorian had a different haircut than Oscar. If Dorian is as useless as he seems, the least he can do is look good while doing it.

Great book if you are the “queer teenager” demographic, and not the “old man who was made to read it in grade school” demographic. Either way you're picking up on the gay subtext.

Person 1: "Are you reading The Picture of Dorian Gray?"
Person 2: "No. Im reading The Picture of Dorian Gay."

Cheeks 

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)

"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
