99%

A term used by the occupy wall street protesting the bankers who are considered the 1%, the super rich. 99% refers to the struggling working class. Oddly only bankers and a few CEOs are considered the bad 1%. No one protest celebrities that often make hundreds of times more than their camera man, assistants, writers or a person selling beer at sporting events. Some may argue they have little effect on the common man but when Leno and Letterman make over 35 million a year (despite low ratings) advertisers or the network have to pay more. The workers will get less, more work, let go or outsourced.

Example of those super rich in 1% no one wants protest:
Michael Jordan, Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Oprah, 50 cent, Barry Manilow, Katie Couric, Kobe Bryant, Dr. Phil, Dr. House, Jeff Gordon, Sam Waterston, Barbara Walters, IMUS, Adam Sandler, Seth Macfarlane, Tiger Woods, Ted Danson and hundreds more.

Brian Williams said with a sad face "the rich keep getting richer while the 99% make less" but he makes twelve million year reading a teleprompter. More than most bankers for working 22 minutes a day. Comes out to about 100k a night. His assistant is likely in the 99%.

Dr. Phil spent 500k on his son's wedding. Then put an ad out needing a assistant from the 99%. Pay? 8 dollars an hour.

99+

Orignial slag. You say "99+" in an IM when you are bored, have nothing else to say or just want cheep laughs. Sometimes used when there is an awkward situation to break the silence. Or just when the conversation had gone 'stale'. Always used on some sort of IM.

"I have somthing to tell you, I had sex with your mother..."
*Awkward Silence*

99

Used in reference to homosexual sex. A play on the usually heterosexual 69 position, where the numerals represent the position of the sexual partners.

In England '99' chiefly is associated with a popular type of ice-cream sold by ice-cream vans that are usually seen in seaside resorts.

"I went up to the ice-cream man and asked him for a 99. He gave me a large creamy one."

Putting your age as 99 on Myspace so that people can't troll you by your real age and spam you or send you stupid messages like "whazzup?"

I had my real age on Myspace but I got too many douchebags trying to hit me up, so I 99'd myself.

99%

Symbolically the 99% of the population that does not include the super rich 1% (that controls a larger and larger proportion of the wealth, and extraordinary powers in influencing elections).

Since the 1% started to conserve the trickle of wealth downward, the bottom of the bottom 99% have had learn to live without housing, medical and food. Many of the 99% have been forced to live on the street. Wall Street has become the Skit Road of the Great Recession.

99

A NY coined term that originated in the 60's. Popular among Italians and the mainstream during the 60's,70's and 80's. A person that gets 99% of what you have to offer with the exception of love and genuine affection. Used to describe a loveless,superficial,sexual relationship where both people benefit in some way but where love and emotions are not allowed. 99 exchanges mock relationships in appearance but are a verbal agreement between 2 people to meet each others needs without emotions or stress. Usually short term and based on physical attraction,sexual compatibility and the ability to meet the other's needs. More than a sex buddy but far less than a long term relationship.

"I was gonna 99 that chick, but she'd be in it for the cheese and my pockets aren't built like that right now."
"Word,I copped a FLY lil 99,son! And all she want is the D. It's perfect!"
"I need a female to kick it with this summer but I don't need the stress,I'ma get out here and 99 a bad one watch!"
