beta male

An unremarkable, careful man who avoids risk and confrontation. Beta males lack the physical presence, charisma and confidence of the Alpha male.

Pete knew he was losing the girl he'd just met at the bar to the guy who bought her a drink, but he was too much of a beta male to do anythigng about it.

blook

A printed compendium of a blog, available in book form.

I'm not really sure why people would buy a blook when they can just read the blogs for free.

slingbox

A device that can attach to your Tivo or other digital video recorder, which allows you to access and watch your programs over the Internet. You simply log into your computer and watch whatever streaming video you have recorded on your Tivo.

Thanks to my slingbox, I can watch last night's episode of "24" which my Tivo recorded, even though I'm still on vacation.

sargasm

Deriving far too much satisfaction from glibly berating another with sarcasm.

"Oh, thanks a lot for drinking my last beer! No, it's my fault... if I wanted it for myself, I shouldn't have put it in the fridge!"
"Dude, don't have a sargasm."

Friendly Confines

Chicago phrase for the greatest ballpark in the world, Wrigley Field. Unfortunately not, by any stretch of the imagination, home to the greatest baseball team in the world. Coined by first baseman and coach Ernie Banks.

Win or lose, it's always a good afternoon at the Friendly Confines.

BEF

Similar to Best Friends Forever (BFF), Best Enemies Forever (BEF) means two people who love to hate each other and rip on each other every chance they get. They are sworn enemies who form a bond of hatred so strong that it's more like a perverse kind of friendship.

Bill: "Goddammit, I hate that asshole Craig! Who does he think he's trying to impress??"
Dan: "Dude, will you stop talking about Craig? When did you two become BEF?"
