Fauxbalt

A pejorative term used regionally in Vancouver, BC, to denote the falseness or fraudulence of the "New" Cobalt. The Cobalt was once a world renowned hardcore music venue catering to the Punk & Metal scenes. It nurtured the early careers of countless local and touring bands as well as provided a place for established bands to play in an authentic atmosphere with a truly wicked sound system. Now under new management the Cobalt has reopened as a den of posers and tryhards happily throwing dance parties on the ashes of Vancouver's music scene.

Trendy Hipster: "Hey Man, are gonna check out the dance party at the Cobalt this weekend?"

Metalhead: "FUCK THAT!!! DEATH TO THE FAUXBALT!!!"

Sahota

Verb. To Sahota is to screw, scam, shaft or fuck over in relation to rental agreements, leases or any issues related to Landlord / Tenant relationships. Named for notorious slumlord Paul Sahota, owner of some of VanCity's most drug infested, crime ridden and dilapidated single room occupancy hotels.

Example 1:

Recently Made Homeless Man: "While I was in the hospital being treated for lesions from the massive bedbug infestation, my roof collapsed and raw sewage filled my room. Now the building is condemned and I live on the street."

Social Worker: "That sucks, you got royally Sahotaed!"

Example 2:

Tenant: "Sir, the utilities aren't working in my unit and there are more bugs in here than that scene in Temple of Doom. Do you think perhaps you could call Pest Control and maybe also get my water turned on?"

Greedy Slumlord: "Enough of your insolence! You're evicted! My thugs are on their way to remove you!"

Tenant: "Sir! Don't Sahota me, all I want is..."

Greedy Slumlord: *click* Hangs up phone.
