Kansas 10

A woman who is considered very attractive, only because those around her are pretty average. If she was in another setting, she wouldn't be much to look at, at all.

An expression used by insult comic Lisa Lampanelli.

Barry: "I picked this chick up in the bar last night and took her home."
Mike: "Was she hot?"
Barry: "Nah, she was a Kansas 10."
Mike: "So, about a New York 3?"

Podvert

Someone who has owned a personal/portable MP3 player for a while but until recently, has always refused to purchase an Apple iPod.

Kevin was always going on about how iPods are over priced and saying you may as well by a Zen as they use the Creative chipset - stuff like that. What a podvert! I just saw him with a new Nano!

Sanity Fair

A term used to indicate that someone is unbalanced and/or needs to seek medical attention for a mental disorder.

This term is a play on 'Vanity Fair', which is a very popular American magazine of culture, fashion, and politics published by Condé Nast Publication - known for interesting/controversial pictorials and cover photos (hence the the way it's used - see example).

Dave: "Did you see John last night - acting all weird? The guy is losing it!"
Bob: "Yep, I don't think we'll be seeing him on the cover of 'Sanity Fair' anytime soon."
