Ben Frey's definitions

tullem

A reverse mullet - business in the back, party in the front. Preferred by urban hipsters who like long shaggy bangs without uncomfortably scratchy hair on their neck.

My friend who works at the second-hand record store down the street went to Supercuts the other day and got a tullem.

fear goggles

What you're looking through the morning after you wore beer goggles and had a one night stand.

I must have been pretty drunk last night, because the girl I woke up with looked totally awful through my fear goggles.

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.

transposer

A guy with tendencies toward wearing feminine clothes and/or makeup, but stopping short of a full-fledged transvestite or transexual. E.g. sporting guyliner, lipstick, excessive jewelry, female hairdos, and wearing overly tight shirts and women's black jeans. Usually this is just done for attention, rather than to signify sexual preference. Most common among rock singers.

Pete Wentz, Brandon Flowers, and the "Leave Britney Alone" guy are transposers.

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.

downstater

An Illinois resident who lives in the lower 3/4 of the state - anywhere south of Chicagoland.

"Where are you from?"
"Chicago, what about you?"
"I'm from Dwight."
"Oh, you're a downstater."
"No - Dwight is pretty far north. It's only an hour south of Chicago."
"Hey, if you're farther than Joliet, you're a downstater."
