shotgun

The front right seat of a car. The seat behind the shotgun is cobain.

Comes from the Americans fascination with the Old West when the person sitting next to the coach driver carried a shotgun to fend off robbers or indians.

Shotgun is the best seat in a car because you have a dominant position and the best view without the responsibility of driving.

He drove to Vegas with Mallory riding shotgun and the hitchhiker in cobain.

SUV factor

the likelihood (in %) that a car's passengers will survive a collision with a Hummer.

Old lady: I want a car that's safe.

Salesman: Then you should consider this Volvo. It's got an SUV factor of 85. About the only car with a higher SUV factor would be a Hummer.

ghetto name

An African-American sounding name like Shaniqua, Laquisha, Ebony, Latrelle, Malcolm, Jamal, Rashida, etc.

While many African-Americans with these names have succeeded, as long as racism exists, people with ghetto names on their resumes will have an uphill battle.

Condoleeza is NOT a ghetto name (no matter how nasty she may scowl). Had she been named Dr. Laquisha Rice, the Bush crime family would have never even heard of her.

restraining order

just another way of saying I love you

Please tell the gentleman who keeps sending me those letters that contain words like "cease and desist" and "restraining order" that there's really no need.
