My adult child is a fauxdult because he can’t do anything on his own. He might earn a paycheck but has zero budgeting or bill paying experience, so is broke before the weekend is up (when getting a check every Friday).
A combination of the words "faux" and "adult." Someone who has reached adulthood in terms of age, but still exhibits traits associated with youth or immaturity.
E.g. A 25 year old who has a job and lives independently, yet brings laundry whenever they visit their parents and doesn't maintain a regular sleep schedule due to late-night video game addiction.
"I realized I was a fauxdult when I had my own apartment, but only drank out of red plastic cups."
A fauxdultress is a female, usually young, who will pretend to have a boyfriend in an attempt to add mystique to her persona and to lure young men who are enticed by stealing a taken woman. Her native habitat is a bar, usually a small one where the drinks are cheap and men are plenty. She will find any way to meet guys. Most likely though, the fauxdultress will turn to her closest friends. A fauxdultress never fails to get some kind of being with a pulse in her bed.
Look at that girl in the corner with the floral print, tight-fitting dress and black pumps staring down all the business school students with receding hairlines. She is such a fauxdultress.
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.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murdererused a serrated blade.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
