Marc Jacobs

A NY born and based designer who has inspired a cult following with his expert helming of an ever expanding roster of clothing lines (Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs being the major ones). His designs incorporate elements which may intially seem disseparate--80s club cool, retro charm, grunge, 21st century sophistication--but which he blends expertly into garments and acessories so intuitively right they whip the fashion world into a frenzy season after season. Friend of Sophia Coppola, Wearer of v-neck sweaters, Genius walking.

My closet is practically a Marc Jacobs showroom. Anything the man touches is gold.

selah

Caribbean equivalent of "word up", as popularized as an exclamation in dancehall by Beenie Man. However the word has been used for years by Rastafarians as the origins of this word are Biblical; it's commonly used in Psalms at the end of a verse. In the more secular use however, it's used to emphasize a thought, usually at the point of its conclusion.

"Pon bed pon floor against wall/
We sex dem all till dem call mi/
Im di girls dem sugar dats all/
Welcome di king of di dancehall/Selah!"
~Beenie Man

(Translation for the interested: "I have crazy sex with women on beds, floors and walls, so well in fact that they are fiending and calling me constantly. I'm unquestionably a ladies man, and king of the dancehall to boot. Word!")

you win some

Short for, "You win some, you lose some". Usually employed when a situation or endeavour doesn't pan out in a auspicious manner in spite of a party's best efforts. Interestingly enough, despite the inclusion of the word 'win', ironically the phrase is often intended to console a loser.

"Wow, you spent $700 on that date and she went home with the waiter. Ah well bro, you win some..."
