Emerging Adult

A very specific life stage that is often overlooked by our society. The time between adolescence and adulthood- somewhere between the ages of 18 and 30 (the end point is debatable). Because of the format of our current society, things like college and the economy force this age group into a state of perpetual adolescence based primarily on a strong dependence on the income of one's parents. This age group tends to live at home (usually in a basement apartment of some sort) and mooch off of family for food and shelter, but are still responsible for many "adult things", like student loans and cell phone payments.

Dr. Timmy is 28 and lives in his parent's garage apartment. What an emerging adult!

Little Adult

One of the multitude of modern-day, thirty-somethings who act and feel immature relative to their "grown-up" parents at comparable milestones in life. (originally coined by comedian Matt Price; co-star of TNT's "Men of a Certain Age" )

Despite being 32 and having a kid with his longtime girlfriend, the fact that Joe was playing X-Box in his parents' living room and debating going back to grad school made him feel like a "Little Adult".

Adult Swim

The Australian Adult Swim is as alternative as vanilla ice-cream with nothing on it.

Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Orphen, Tenchi Muyu (or however you spell it), Bubblegum Crisis, Gonaicul (or however spelt), Home Movies, Sealab, Brak, Space Ghost, Harvey Birdman, Mission Hill. That's it. The only ones worth watching are Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Mission Hill, Brak, Sealab and Space Ghost. Nowadays, only Bebop, Trigun and Space Ghost are available from those few.

Futurama, Family Guy & Duckman should be on the Australian Adult Swim.

Adult Spank

When you are verbally reprimanded as an adult (typically at work, can be publicly or privately) and you feel humiliated like you did when you were a kid and were spanked.

My boss is such a douche, he adult spanked me at the meeting, and I had to take a dignity day.

Adult Child

Someone who is 25 or older and still shows no interest in joining the real world. Often living at home for little or no rent, these people usually avoid any form of responsibility whatsoever. They also get increasingly resentful as life passes them by and wonder why their friends and family never truly treat them with the respect they believe they deserve for the achievements in life that they haven't actually got.

Often showing exceptional interest in computer games, tabletop games, movies and sci-fi shows. These individuals truly do not want to grow up. They don't realise you can enjoy all of these things in a super geeky fashion while also having a job, a car and possibly a girl/boyfriend. They simply focus all their attention into their hobbies and lose sight of the world around them.

Not bad, or malicious people necessarily. Just due to the way they've been raised, or the way they've dealt with the world. These people are probably going to live at home till they're 50. They often don't manage to settle down with members of the opposite sex for several reasons, usually a combination of poor self-esteem, poor self-management and the fact that they blame everyone else for their less than stellar existence. Most women/men find this highly unattractive and hence the adult child generally stays single either forever or until they finally do something about their situation and change their life. Some adult children occasionally meet other adult children and hook up. The majority of the time, both individuals will be massively obese, both suffer from depression and both stay at home all day while on sickness benefits. (because they're too depressed/lazy/fat to work) Likelyhood of their residence smelling of shit and unwashed clothes is high.

For the rest that never change and wish things will change without them putting the effort in. They will remain the same - they are truly lost.

"Wow, I wish Gary would come out but he never has any money because he spends his whole months income on Dungeons and Dragons books and Xbox games." He is an adult child.

"I wish I could learn to drive but I just can't afford lessons or manage the responsibility of driving. Ooo, what's that? Collectors edition of World of Warcraft for ยฃ70? I MUST BUY IT!"
