vein opener

A song, story, or other work of art so abjectly depressing that it makes you want to hide all the sharp objects.

I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to put Paula Cole's classic 90s vein opener "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?" on a mix for listening to in the car. Totally inappropriate.

manpurse

A bag carried by a man to hold his stuff. Some people consider it a little effeminate, others don't really care. The ones who don't care are usually the ones who actually have a manpurse.

Well, yeah, I do carry a frame pack around with me almost everywhere I go. It's my manpurse.

inessential

Used of a work of art, a production that adds nothing of interest to the creator's portfolio. Does not necessarily imply that the work is bad per se, though mediocrity at best is often assumed. Often only of interest to fanboys and completists.

U2's most inessential work has got to be Pop.

Doreknob

A fan of pseudoleftist podcaster and “comedian” Jimmy Dore. Usually totally insufferable. Claims to be leftist, but supports Trump and Putin. Probably a tankie. Most likely the burned out husk of a BernieBro.

Doreknobs love saying “I didn’t leave the left; the left left me.” It’s true; the left doesn’t generally have room for delusional fascist simps.

hockey hair

A mid-length, fluffyish mullet associated with hockey players, especially those from Canada and Eastern Europe in the 1990s. Compare football hair.

Now that's something you don't see anymore -- that guy's got the old-school hockey hair. Business in front, beating in the back.

we get letters

When used by a writer (usually a columnist or a blogger), indicates that a description follows of one or more letters to the author that might be considered weird, hostile, or otherwise unusual. Comes from the title of a Perry Como album.

"So he tells me that I'm a bigot because I don't support the rights of husbands to beat their wives. I tell ya, we get letters."
