lovely

a British term that's becoming more widely used in American English to describe someone who is mild and pleasant. To say that someone is lovely might mean that he or she is nice or easy to be around, but isn't the most fuckable or fuckworthy person.

1. If someone says that you're lovely, you ain't getting laid.

2. Nate: What do you think of the new girl at the office?
Dave: She's lovely.
Nate: Would you bang her?
Dave: Hmmm...I wouldn't go that far.

steady drip

when a faucet is kept open as slightly as possible, so that as few as five droplets of water per minute are released. This preventative measure is taken by tenants and homeowners during the wintertime, to keep the water supply flowing and avoid pipes bursting in subfreezing temperatures. During the coldest months of the year, apartment landlords often advise tenants to leave their faucets on a steady drip, which over an eight hour period may add up to a mere five cents in water costs.

Bobby didn't want to leave his faucets on steady drip, thinking he'd have a lower water bill this winter. The pipes at his apartment burst open, and now his landlord is holding him responsible for the damages.

rape

a horrific crime in which the sexual will of a perpetrator, a rapist, is imposed upon a rape victim, who for whatever reason does not manage to prevent or stop the violation from taking place. While rape disproportionally affects women, it can happen to a person of any sex, orientation, or gender.

In the recent political arena, Republicans have misused the word "rape," describing some rapes as "legitimate", citing that it is "God's will" when a rapist impregnates his victim, and even calling rape "beautiful" when it results in a child being conceived. For the most part, these statements were made to express extreme opposition to abortion rights, and thankfully many a conservative Republican political career was destroyed when their shocking words sent reproductive age women and men running into the arms of Democratic candidates.

In the middle of the 2015 Grammy Awards, President Obama appeared on the big screen to speak out against rape and violence against women.

real job

steady employment with fixed salary and working hours, as well as potential for growth and advancement. Having a real job may mean working in a field that is incompatible with partying, taking drugs, or assuming an otherwise unconventional lifestyle.

People with so-called real jobs might enjoy high salaries, but what they trade off is the chance to experiment and discover what they truly want out of life.

never-was

a person who has not achieved success or fame, despite considerable effort. Unlike a has-been, who at least had once enjoyed noteworthy stature, a never-was simply fails to become prominent. Normally refers to a person unsuccessful in athletics, the entertainment industry, or other creative arts.

Plural - never-weres

Although he'd written a few catchy songs in his heyday, he attracted little fanfare and hung up his guitar after deciding that in the world of music, he hadn't been destined to become anything more than a never-was.
