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."

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.

marble ceiling

Coined by incoming Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

"When my colleagues elect me as speaker on January 4, we will not just break through a glass ceiling, we will break through a marble ceiling." - Nancy Pelosi, Jan. 3, 2007.
