airport relatives

People you keep seeing on a trip involving air travel: at check-in, in the security line, at starbucks, waiting at the gate, sitting three rows ahead of you, waiting for baggage claim, etc
See that guy in the flowered shirt? He sat in front of me and farted the whole trip. Yea, I saw him fixing his carry-on with duct tape in the mens room. Are those salt stains on his sweatpants? I think so. Well, you can't choose your airport relatives

Theory of relativeity 

This is a comic reference to nepotism, the hiring of relatives.
It looks like the Hardings are practicing the theory of relativeity again!

Relative Ten 

The girl or guy who is the best looking in a small sample of people, such as at a bar or at work, even though they would not be considered a 10 outside of that situation.
Every time I go to a bar I seek out the relative ten and hit on her.

The Theory of Relative Hottness 

The theory that states that one judges a guy/girl's hottness by comparing him/her to those around them. This explains why one would think someone is hotter when seen at, say a movie theater, than at school. There are fewer to compare them to.
Guy 1: Dude, that girl that goes to your school is really hot.
Guy 2: Naw, that's the theory of relative hottness. At school she's not that hot.

IT'S ALL / EVERYTHING'S RELATIVE 

means that the world is in the eye of the beholder; it all depends on how you look at things; all people look at things from a different perspective and have differing opinions or views about someone, something, etc.
Everything is quantifiable in terms of individual perception.
To him, the new house is beautiful and grandiose in appearance; to me, it's ugly and pretentious. It's all relative, then, isn't it?
You think you're poor? Then take a look at the skid row bums living in the sewers downtown. Everything is relative.
