Sweet Light

Indirect sunlight experienced in the period just before sunset or just after sunrise that has been refracted by the atmosphere into a golden or even an orangish-red color that flatters landscapes and life forms alike and is highly prized by both photographers and painters. It is also the safest light in which to sunbathe.

Manhattan's architecturally inconsistent jumble of high rise office towers and apartment buildings looked like a beautiful, unified whole in glow of the sweet light of a late winter's day.

The Louvre, which often looks imposing amid the Parisian gloom, radiates a refined elegance in the sweet light of the sunset.

STTT

Shit throwing temper tantrum, which can be had by small children and adults alike.

Also known as an S triple-T an ST cubed.

Larry, pissed at his job, his wife and his life, would erupt into an STTT over the smallest provocation.

fablapidated

The combination of fabulous and dilapidated.

Person 1: So, how was St. Petersburg, Russia? Did you enjoy your trip?

Person 2: Loved it. Totally fablapidated.

Grumpy bomb

Dropping explosive negativity on an otherwise neutral or positive conversation.

We were sitting around the table having a nice conversation about all the great movies out right now when Leila came in the kitchen and dropped a grumpy bomb on us.

Door charge

The $20 minimum that one seems to spend each time one leaves one's front door.

John: Hey Joe, it's a beautiful day, why don't we go out and do something?

Joe: Can't. Don't want to pay the door charge.

resume blindness

When somebody's impressive credentials cause other people to overlook their negative qualities.

I can't believed that he screwed his new girlfriend in my bed. He hadn't even broken up with me.

Really? Everyone wondered what you were doing with such a narcissistic asshole. Plus he was a cokehead. What did you see in him?

Well, we went to a good prep school and to an ivy league business school and worked for a prestigious investment bank on Wall Street. I never imagined that somebody like that could be so insensitive and cruel.

Hon, you are suffering from resume blindness. He's a jerk and an emotional midget. Get over him.

thanks for reaching out

The most obnoxious possible reply to someone who has contacted you, often used in professional settings.

Hi John, thanks for reaching out. I'm quite busy right now on many important projects. Why don't you reach out to me again at this time next year and see if I have a couple of free minutes then. Or, better yet, how about never? Does never work for you?
