dropping hairpins

To give hints that one is gay. Usually in the act of determining whether or not a person is safe to come out to. Also to see if an object of desire is also gay.

When I was talking with Jim, I dropped a couple hairpins, but I don't think he picked up on them.

hairpin trigger

Really called a hair trigger. It's a modification made to a gun which makes it respond to very little pressure on the trigger. Allows for faster firing.

If you get a semi-auto chopper, you better put a hairpin trigger on it.

Hairpin Headache

The soreness that results from wearing a hairstyle for a long period of time that pulls at the roots of the hair.

Alice took down my hair from its style, saving me from a hairpin headache later on.

hairpin scrollbar

A hairpin scrollbar is an object used to scroll down a webpage that is impractically too small due to the large amount of content, often unnecessary, on said webpage.

Man, I hate these top ten articles that take me to pages with a hairpin scrollbar. I ain't readin' all this mess, I need bullet points.
