mys

An informal Swedish term for coziness; comfort and relaxation, especially at home. Not necessarily sexual, despite the way some Swedes use the word online: Cuddling on the couch with a partner is still _mys_, even if neither person wants to go further. Sitting by a fireplace and reading a favorite book is also _mys_, even if you're alone and don't have sex on your mind.
Det var synd att din kille inte kunde skilja på hångel och mys. (It's too bad that your boyfriend couldn't tell the difference between making out and getting cozy.)

Teletubbies

1. A British television program intended for very young children. Unfairly criticized by some adults who read hidden symbolism into the main characters' appearance, environment, and/or behavior. (Refuting such claims is beyond the scope of this web site, however.)

2. The title characters of this program: four characters with childlike faces, colorful unisex body-suits, and television screens on their bellies. All of the Teletubbies have a uniquely-shaped antenna growing from the top of their heads; these antennas glow whenever one of them receives a signal from the outside world (a short, live-action film starring children from various countries).

The rest of the show depicts Teletubbies acting like toddlers: sleeping and waking, exercising, playing outside, discovering strange objects. They also enjoy hugging each other, usually accompanied by their trademark phrase "Big hug!"
1. I've known people who were straight as arrows, never used recreational drugs, and didn't live with their children...but who still watched _Teletubbies_.

2. My friend's four-year-old daughter wore pajamas with pictures of the Teletubbies.

Laa-Laa

One of the two female Teletubbies, bright yellow with a curlicued antenna. She is fond of playing with a gigantic orange ball, singing to herself, and hugging her fellow 'tubbies (see Big hug!)
"Fidit, fidit, mar, mar, man..."
"La-la-la-la-la...Eh-oh, Po! Cooter nice!"
"Eh-oh, Laa-Laa!"
"Big hug!"
"BIIIIIG HUUUUUG!"

G-rated

(Originally referred to the American film-rating system, in which "G" stands for "general admission".)

1. Appropriate for all ages, with no offensive content such as violence, drug use, profanity, or sex acts.

2. Sanitized or altered to remove offensive content.
1. Just because a movie is G-rated, that doesn't mean it's a kiddie show: ever see _The Sound of Music_?

2. I'd better tell you the G-rated version of what went on at the school dance; my mom is probably listening in!
