A window open in the dead of winter, as used by tenants of apartments with building-controlled heating (typically steam radiators), which presumably doubles as a basement blast-furnace and would otherwise boil the occupants alive. So-named for its prevalence in the NYC borough and similar metropolitan areas with many pre-war buildings.
"That open window ain't a 'waste of energy,' it's the Brooklyn thermostat, and I swear d'ya it's the only thing keepin' us all from becomin' kebabs!"
the thingy on the wall that controls the temperature of the room. Of course, it will always be too hot or too cold.
The cunt said "its too hot" so I turned the thermostat down and an hour later she's complaining its "too cold in here". So I undressed her and warmed her up in bed.
The intense, although very sneaky, altercation where two or more inhabitants of the same living space continually adjust the thermostat to their respective preferred temperatures, without the knowledge of the other person(s).
I set my thermostat to 65 degrees last night, and now it's at 80! My roommate must be declaring a thermostat battle!
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
That ol' gal of mine drives the 12lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
A bath consisting of a variety of slats, oils, soaps or any other added ingredients such as fruits, milks, herbs or any other spices for health or beautifying benifits.
