eighty-six

to eighty-six a pregnancy is to medically terminate it, taken from the name of the "abortion drug" RU-486.

A woman might eighty-six a fetus in the earliest weeks of being pregnant, with the help of a health care provider who can administer a brief series of oral dosages.

Eighty-sixing is normally done only up until a point when a pregnancy is so far along that a surgical procedure is needed in order to abort.

Jenny: I just came up positive on this pregnancy test. It was just a one night stand. I'm gonna eighty-six it.

Eric: Yo, Kevin. You're lucky Jenny eight-six'd it after your fling at the lake last summer. Otherwise you would've been stuck paying child support.

sidewalk shitter

a person who defecates, usually out of dire necessity, on public walkways.

When going out in L.A., you're lucky if you don't have to pay to pee. Therefore, it shouldn't come as a surprise when nature calls and a sidewalk shitter starts doing his business out in the open.

college

where dreamers can go to secure a plan B for their future employment prospects

Jenny always wanted to be a singer-songwriter, but her parents persuaded her to choose English as a college major, for a fallback plan. She later married a 1950s-style brute who orders her to edit all of his work-related documents and to have dinner on the table by five every night. Life can be so tragic sometimes.

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.
