A condition which involves the ability to have a great first date, but never experience a second for some reason. The first dates often come in a string together. Can be caused by bad breakups, commitment issues, or bad end-of-date kissing skills. Not to be confused with playing the field, which implies not having a second date by choice.
"Are you going to see him again?"
"Are you kidding? I have first date syndrome. I'll be out with someone else next week."

A more extreme version of a dare. Rules:
1. You can't turn down a hardcore. It's just unacceptable.
2. You can't overuse a hardcore. It must be reserved for very special occasions.
3. You can't hardcore someone to do something that you yourself would not do, i.e. you can't hardcore someone to jump off a nine-story building.

If you were hardcore, you would walk up to that guy over there and tell him you saw his picture in the dictionary next to "sexy."

A suburb of around 30,000 people north of Chicago. Somewhat the ghetto of the north suburbs, if such a thing can be imagined. It used to be popular for the elite of Chicago to have a house on Diamond Lake back in the seventies, but the trend died. Mundelein is now known for a consistently bad football team, lots of high school pregnancies and arrests, having nothing to do except hang out in parking lots or at the Baskin Donuts, and a rather large Mexican population. Is basically a less industrialized version of Vernon Hills and a poorer and less snobby version of Libertyville.

The guy wasn't really her type, but considering his looks and how long it had been since she'd been with a guy, she agreed to a porno date.

An American slang term for outside consultants who are brought into a business to troubleshoot and solve problems. The term comes from the 1968 book M*A*S*H by Richard Hooker. In the book, the character Hawkeye is described as using the guise of being the pro from Dover to obtain free entrance to golf courses:
"Hawkeye would walk confidently into a pro shop, smile, comment upon the nice condition of the course, explain that he was just passing through and that he was Joe, Dave or Jack Somebody, the pro from Dover. This resulted, about eight times out of ten, in an invitation to play for free. If forced into conversation, he became the pro from Dover, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Jersey, England, Ohio, Delaware, Tennessee, or Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, whichever seemed safest."
Later on in the book, when Hawkeye and fellow surgeon Trapper are called from Korea to Tokyo to perform surgery on a congressman's son, the following exchange takes place:
"'All right,' Trapper said. 'Somebody trot out the latest pictures of this kid with the shell fragment in his chest.'
No one moved.
'Snap it up!' yelled Hawkeye. 'We're the pros from Dover, and the last pictures we saw must be forty-eight hours old by now.'"
This latter exchange is repeated in the 1970 movie, but the term pros from Dover is not explained in the script. People who had seen the movie, but not read the book, started using the phrase to mean outside experts/consultants without understanding that Hawkeye was using the term facetiously, referring to an old con he used to run.

"Look, mother, I want to go to work in one hour. We are the Pros from Dover and we figure to crack this kid's chest and get out to golf course before it gets dark. So you go find the gas-passer and you have him pre-medicate this patient. Then bring me the latest pictures on him. The ones we saw must be 48 hours old by now. Then call the kitchen and have them rustle us up some lunch. Ham and eggs will all right. Steak would be even better. And then give me at least ONE nurse who knows how to work in close without getting her tits in my way."
