style

Noun: The basic defining characteristics of a person, everything from talk, dress, hairstyle, demeanor, etc. A majority of the time it is the person's appearance in general and can be categorized (grunge, hippie, preppy, hoochie, nerdy, etc). A few people have their own style which usually makes them unique while most go with whatever is the "in" thing at the time in all the above categories. Can also be used as a compliment (see example #2a and b).

#1a: "Toni's style is an odd one -- she keeps her hair groomed like a diva, wears alot of makeup, rocks Chuck Taylor All Stars, and buys her shirts at the Bass Pro Shop.....what's up with that??"
#1b: "Although some may think that Alicia Keys is boring, I must admit that her style is different from most entertainers her age".

#2a: "My boy James got style -- did you see how he quiety hollered at ol' gurl and got the digits with little to no effort"?
#2b: "Janelle really laid her crib out -- she got black and white art with touches of color....I like that girl's style".

egg on your face

To be extremely embarrassed. Usually the embarassment is the result of one's own actions. Not sure of the origin, but it may come from when clowns are at a circus and they have eggs thrown at them because of their goofy acts or when actors had eggs thrown at them performing in plays a couple of centuries ago.

"I am sure you still have egg on your face after causing a scene in the mall and later finding out that your boyfriend was in the mall with his neice from Chicago instead of another girl".

hole in the wall

Noun: Generally a small, raggedy place (usually a bar or a club) that has very low quality equipment, furniture, etc but sometimes will provide the best variety of entertainment on any given night. Defining characteristics include: holes in walls/ceilings, nonflushing toilets, a ceiling fan instead of central air, $5 "to get in", and only one bartender. Most of these types of places are found in the country and in the south.

"Man, forget all that upscale crap!! Tonite I am going to the hole in the wall!"

"I heard that the hole in the wall on the other side of town got shut down by the city because it failed the building inspection".
