Coup d'etat

French term meaning "blow to the state" coined after General Napoleon Bonaparte's 1799 seizure of power and suppression of the Constitution of 1795 in that country. Though often associated with military uprisings a "coup" is defined as any entity within a existing political system that acts illegally to appropriate all power to that entity while often violently suppressing other institutions and power-centers (media, legislatures, trade unions, political parties, etc.).

You know, the 1917 so-called "Bolshevik Revolution" of Lenin and his people in Russia is interpreted by some historians as really just a coup d'etat by an armed political party when Lenin's followers used their control over the capital's local government to seizure control of the whole city, drive out the national government and use St. Petersburg to launch their conquest of the country.

cha-cha queen

A stereotypically gay Latin man with obviously effeminate or flamboyant mannerisms. NOT applicable to gay men who do not have such mannerisms.

Miguel is such a cha-cha queen. She showed up at the club in skin-tight jeans showing more ass than Jay-Lo and cat-walking like Tyra Banks.

Bitched Out

In male prisons, the condition of being turned out for sex and made into another man's prison-wife.

The crew on C-block snatched up that new pretty-boy soon as he hit yard for their punk. He's so bitched out now they got him walk around in Daisy Dukes and Kool-Aid lipstick.

Mc

Upper case M followed by lower case c: preface denoting something that is cheap, shotty, dead-end and highly standardized with little real value. Examples include:

McMansions: large, ugly, expensive houses built to order but according to a standard design by companies catering to those with money but not taste. Often prized by the newly rich who retain pedestrian middle or lower class tastes.

McJobs: low-wage, low-skill employment with no benefits and few prospects for advancement, as in WalMart.

McSchool: an unaccredited college or university that promises potential students that their marginal or worthless degrees will open career paths for them.

1. Mike got himself a Mcjob the other day, flippy burgers at the local McDonald's.

2. I can't believe my friend Janet just spent thousands of dollars on some on-line McSchool when she could have gone to an accredited state university or community college for half the money!

212s

212 was the original area code established for Manhattan in 1947. The 212s is a now dated term of condescension and gentile WASP anti-Jewish bigotry used to discreetly refer to and mock affluent New York City Jews such WASPs encountered in business, politics and some social situations.

I suppose the election of Micheal Bloomberg as mayor of New York City shows that the 212s still pretty much run things there, doesn't it, my dear.

Man-Child

A term originating from Claude Brown's 1965 memoir "Man-Child in the Promised Land" about growing up in the streets of 1940s and 50s Harlem, NYC, one of the earliest and most powerful accounts of ghetto life and its culture. A "Man-Child" originally referred to a boy or adolescent from the streets who was prematurely exposed to and knowledgeable about sex, violence and crime, incarceration, adult responsibility for younger siblings due to a dysfunctional home, and hustling to make a living.

You think life in the 'hood is rough now? Check out Brown's book one day. By the time he was 15 he'd already been locked up, hustling for a living and doing whatever he had to to survive as a man-child on the streets.

Snake

Someone who is untrustworthy, deceitful, malicious, hypocritical, etc. It describes someone who pretends to be friendly and well-intended in order to gain trust in order to mislead, deceive, or betray someone else.

Don't trust that girl. Like the serpent in the Garden she's pleasing to the eye and whispers sweet words in your ear, but she, too, is a snake that seduces and promises everything only to strike you dead when get close to her.
