sex-and-the-citying

Walking on the sidewalk in a row instead of in a line, like people do on TV. It's particularly noticeable with Midwestern US tourists in East Coast cities, like New York, DC and Boston. People emulate what they see on TV especially Sex and the City rather than noticing the etiquette and block access for people trying to go around or walk in the opposite direction.

OMG could you please stop sex-and-the-citying it!

hanging shirt

A shirt that by its design is intended to be hung on a hanger rather than folded or rolled and put in a drawer. Examples would be polos, button-ups and work shirts as opposed to t-shirts.

The laundry's dry! Could you please help me put away the hanging shirts?

septum

It's the middle part of the bottom of your nose between the nostrils. Most people only hear the word because of them being pierced.

John looks so much hotter since he got the 6 gauge piercing in his septum.

breadco

St. Louis slang for Panera Bread. It originally started in the region and the local stores are still branded with the old moniker St. Louis Bread Co. Locals just drop the "St. Louis" part.

Going to breadco. Want anything?

kiss the ground

A metaphor for a plane you're riding on to land at its destination, particularly on a return flight after being somewhere far away or terrible.

I've been in St. Louis for a week and I can't wait to kiss the ground back at National Airport in the DC area.

jones

a verb that means to crave something strongly, usually said in a construct with a participle (e.g. "to be jonesing for") and often pronounced without the 'g' at the end (e.g. "to be jonesin' for").

Sometimes the "for" is foregone. Usually a phrase emphasizing being in the moment is included, such as "right now" for the present, or "at that time", "right then" for the past. In past, present or future constructions, when said in a negative construction "just yet" is also used occasionally.

I'm really jonesing for a coffee right now.
I'm really jonesin' a cigarette right now.
I just got over being sick for a week. I'd like to go to the concert, but I'm not jonesin' to be out in public just yet.
