Virgin Suicides's definitions
The child caboose in a (roman) catholic family, generally several to many older siblings, normally younger by as many as five years or more. Most know the Church is vehemently against abortion (duh), but it also highly disapproves of birth control, as well. This makes the likelihood of accidental / unplanned births among the most devout families almost an inevitability.
In the O'Callahan family of Medford, there are six children : Mary, Patrick, the identical twins Rory and Maile, Kathleen, and Kevin. Did I forget someone ? Oh, yes, a seventh - Edward, called Teddy by everyone else, although the twins jokingly refer to him as John Thomas behind his back as he is seven years (!) behind the next youngest sibling. Teddy is the caboose of the family, or more appropriately, the Catholic Accident, as his birth was something of a surprise (i.e., unplanned).

Get the catholic accident mug.phrase derived from author James Howard Kunstler's influential work 'The Geography Of Nowhere' which, like similar tomes with a social conscience (e.g., 'Fast Food Nation', 'Bowling Alone', et al), challenged Americans to reassess the plight of their urban/suburban landscapes, especially since the end of World War Two. What Kunstler found was a terrain blighted by shopping and strip malls, fast food restaurants, twelve lane super highways, shoddily constructed business and residential developments or what he referred to as 'cartoon architecture'.
Bill : say Tom, where are you living these days ?
Tom : oh, out on 197th Mile Rd. in Paradise County, just east of the Rolling Meadows gated community, adjacent to a Chuckie Cheese's and Major Magic's Pizza Revue, in between the 467th and 468th exit and on ramps to the eighteen lane Interstate, right behind the Wonderland strip mall, right next to a nature band-aid consisting of wood chips and one-foot tall shrubs.
Bill : Wow. In other words, nowhere in particular.
Tom : That's right ! Ain't this country great !

Get the nowhere in particular mug.phrase that two grown men can exchange as a sign of mutual admiration, confidence, loyalty and trustworthiness without any implication of erotic or sexual attraction.
From the popular podcast S-Town :
John B. McLemore : I love you, man.
Tyler Goodson : I know that. I love you too, John B.
John B. : And just because I say that, Tyler, doesn't mean I'm trying to get up your butt !
Tyler : I know that, John B. You've been like a second father to me.
(Months later, after John B.'s suicide) :
Tyler : Poor John B. Man, I miss that fucker ...
If S-Town is essentially correct, I think a lot of people miss John B. We all love you, John B. And miss you.

Get the I Love You, Man mug.abbreviation for bullshit per square inch. The United States usually outpaces the world in this category, especially so since Donald Trump discovered Twitter.
Message recently seen on t-shirt : Welcome To America. More bspsi Than Even North Korea. Just Wait - We're About To Start A War Over It.

Get the bspsi mug.A meme derived from a joke Dane Cook told sometime in the early 'teens or so. It went viral and since then, no parent in the western hemisphere would dare touch it as a possible name for their newborn daughter.
Young Girl : Mommy, why didn't you name me Karen ?
Mom : Dear, what's wrong with Deuteronomy Lips ? Is this a Boy Named Sue thing ?
Young Girl : No, it's not ! In fact, I happen to LOVE the name Karen ! I think I'm going to sue you and Dad both for not naming me properly ! Hah ! 😛
Mom : Oh, f****in' s**t, you are a Karen ! 😖😫🥵

Get the Karen mug.most celebrity athletes, entertainers, personalities, politicians who achieved the bulk of their success the other side of the millennium (i.e., the 20th Century).
Think about it. How many late 20th Century celebrities are still in the public eye today ? Not many, right ? The somebodies of yesterday are the nobodies of today ...

Get the the somebodies of yesterday are the nobodies of today mug.the peculiar yet somewhat predictable transformation certain young American celebrities experience upon going Continental (i.e., living or working in Europe). Akin to drugstore cowboy.
American actress Kristen Stewart has now made not one, but two, yes two, French films. Probably on the advice of her agents and handlers she has subsequently done the following :
1) shaved her head (like Sinead O'Connor);
2) dyed it blonde (like Annie Lennox);
3) and entered what appears to be her first serious lesbian/same sex relationship (like any number of American female expats of the last century).
I suspect before long she will also be sporting a Parisian accent, opening a salon, quoting Baudelaire, Cocteau, and Satre' incessantly, and complaining endlessly about all those bourgeoise, materialistic Americans who care only for money and nothing for art. Like Gwyneth Paltrow and so many others before, Kristen Stewart has become a left bank cowboy.
