Redd Foxx point

The moment when a guy realizes he's hit the point of no return during sex. Just like Fred Sanford used to say: "It's the big one... You hear that, Elizabeth? I'm comin' to you, I'm comin' home to Georgia."

Last night I brought this girl back to my place for some action... I was hoping to take my time, but early in I hit the Redd Foxx point, so what could I do? Good thing her name was Elizabeth.

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.

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.
