DeLorean

Coolest car EVER.

Known to most people via its use as a time machine in "Back to the Future." Ya don't think Doc woulda tricked out a minivan or a clunky SUV and sent that to another century, do ya?

Last Saturday, I was overcome by the presense of my friend's DeLorean. The wing-opening doors and polished steel exterior were especially pimpin'.

shiksa

A Gentile girl or woman, especially one who has attracted a Jewish man. The term derives from the Hebrew word "sheketz", meaning the flesh of an animal deemed taboo by the Torah. Since a Jewish man marrying a non-Jewish woman is taboo also, this word applies to her.

Traditionally this is a derogatory term, though in modern times it has also been used more light-heartedly. For example, Seinfeld once did an episode about Elaine's "shiksa appeal".

The ideal shiksa is a blonde WASP who look like the opposite of a stereotypical Jew, but in reality, many shiksas are brunettes who might pass for Jewish themselves.

On Sex and the City, Charlotte really blossomed as a shiksa!

2-way

A conversation between two people carried out by electronic means, i.e., a cell phone, an online chat, etc.

During my lunch break, I took out my cell phone and 2-wayed my friend.

Cincinnati

Jerry Springer knows how to handle a bunch of hicks and ghetto divas. He does it on his talk show, but he attained this skill elsewhere: JERRY SPRINGER USED TO BE THIS CITY'S MAYOR.

If that's not enough, this is also the home of Marge Schott, Pete Rose, Nick Lachey, Article 12 (anti-gay legislation), and the April 2001 race riots.

Go Bengals!

The only way to live in Cincinnati is to convince yourself that the situation is temporary.

merd

Mispelling of the French merde. Means "shit."

Britain just told the U.S. that if France gives us any merde, we should nuke their derrieres.
