placeholder boyfriend

A boyfriend who is just there to satisfy the need for having a boyfriend.

i.e. someone who is fulfilling short-term needs in your life, but for whom you don't see a long-term purpose.

Eh, he's just a placeholder boyfriend in my life. I hate sleeping alone.

--

I don't get fazed when I'm into a girl who has a boyfriend. I always just assume that he's a placeholder boyfriend, and that she'll dump him once she finds someone real.

shoot your cuffs

A male preening gesture, whereby a man wearing a suit extends both his arms rapidly outwards (i.e. shoot), so that his dress shirt sleeves extend nicely beyond his suit sleeves.

Ready for the big dance? You look good in that suit. Shoot your cuffs for me. There, much better.

lo-ray

Any video that's not stored on blu-ray. Usually means DVD, VCD or anything you downloaded and watched on your computer.

"Did you see Transformers on Blu-Ray?"
"Nah, I saw it on lo-ray."

"Dude, why are you still watching on lo-ray? Go get a PS3 or something, and upgrade your life."

I don't mess with

A polite way of saying that you don't have, and don't want to have, anything to do with someone or something.

I don't mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show ... and that's a very nice way for me to put it!

I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I don't mess with that woman.

status stalker

Someone who only reads your facebook status updates or tweets, but doesn't actually reach out and talk to you.

When I met Jimmy in real life, the first thing he mentioned was something I tweeted about. He's such a status stalker, why doesn't he just send me a message or something??

wikinoument

The part after a movie's over when you read its wikipedia entry to look up random trivia or plot details you might have missed.

ex1: Man, the wikinoument for Eraserhead was amazing. I had no idea that George Lucas asked David Lynch to direct the first Star Wars.

ex2: I don't feel fully satisfied with a movie until the wikinoument. That's when I find relevant backstory or interesting things that happened in pre-production.

Viraled

To be the unwitting propagator of a viral marketing scheme.

Dude, it turns out that video you sent me is fake! It's part of one of Pepsi's new marketing schemes. You got viraled!
