D.S. Credito's definitions

freeter

an adult, though no longer a student, who does not have full-time employment and all the benefits that comes with it. Instead, a freeter chooses to work part-time or hold down odd jobs, even while full time employment is available.

Being a freeter means having more flexibility and freedom than someone with a permanent job. Freeters usually do not earn enough money to have their own home, so they often stay at home with their parents indefinitely, or else rent rooms in others' homes.
In today's economy, it's hard to know if a part-time employee is a freeloader or freeter, or is simply struggling to survive.

controlled environment

a place or area where rules, regulations and behavioral norms are subject to strict enforcement or scrutiny. A person responsible for maintaining order in a controlled environment will normally strive to appear consistent when out in the open, but may enforce rules arbitrarily behind closed doors.
Kids who grow up in excessively controlled environments often fall behind in college, having all that freedom to cut loose but not knowing how to manage it.

unreleased urine flow

the excess pee that remains in the bladder after urinating at a urinal. For men, a possible solution to unreleased urine flow, which can cause a variety of health problems (including cancer), is to stand with pants dropped at or below the knees, or to pee sitting down. This can be problematic in public restrooms, for obvious reasons, but the long term consequences can be devastating.
The consequences of unreleased urine flow can range from a few drops of piss dribbling down the leg to full-blown bladder cancer.

Chimamanda Adichie

A stunningly gorgeous Nigerian-American author whose nimble writing style often presents stories from multiple points of view. Her feminist ideals and her willingness to write critically about West Africa and the Nigerian diaspora are widely considered very bold and brave.
Chimamanda Adichie's voice was featured in the Beyoncé song "Flawless," in which the author spoke to encourage today's women to overcome sexism, including the idea that women - but not necessarily men - should automatically aspire to marriage.

treating non-family/non-relatives (i.e. friends, associates) like gold while regarding family members and relatives as dirt.

song selling

Song selling takes place when a singer-songwriter earns money in exchange for the rights to use his or her original music, often to a (more) famous, or up-and-coming, recording artist.

If a singer-songwriter has written a catchy song but seems to fall short on vocal or instrumental ability, a listener might say, "you should sell your song." Hearing this can be extremely disheartening for singer-songwriters, especially those who are still developing their talents, or have not yet enjoyed their fifteen minutes of fame.
Why does song selling even exist? Any band or singer who is worth their weight can write their own songs.
