House of Ill Repute

A demented group of moms that form one of CafeMom's darker subculture privately ran groups.

"What the hell is this twisted crap doing on a parenting site??" "Oh lol, you found the House of Ill Repute huh"

house of ill repute

Goth clothing and jewelry store in Toronto on Queen Street.

I bought a nice cuff from the House of Ill Repute a few years ago, but otherwise, the stuff they sell there is incredibly overpriced.

clean as your mother's reputation

Basically, this term means that you can't get something any cleaner (or purer) than it is. It's also meant as a compliment by saying that somebody's mother is not a skanky whore or streetwalker. This term appeared in the young adult edition of the novel adaptation of the 1979 sci-fi thriller"Alien".

George the janitor tidied up the restroom so well it's not simply spic and span, it's as clean as your mother's reputation.

reputation era (rep era)

literal: derived from Taylor Swift’s most notable album (or commonly referred to as an era by her fans) in which she sheds her good-girl image and takes on an alter ego of an unexpected, darker, more vengeful version of herself. the album is rooted in irony and mockery of the people who dragged her name through mud.

figuratively/stan usage: although it is commonly referred to as when a person has a comeback with vengeance and to mock those that have hurt them, it is more deeply understood through her fan base as one of her most romantic pieces of art, because although the album’s setting is a dark place in life, the stories of this album detail of love that cannot be broken by status or superficial things. it is a romance that lifts her from the dead as she “once was poison ivy”, and she grows into a “daisy”.

someone who is said to be in their “rep era” is completely aware of bullshit and clowns and is not only coming back for vengeance, but gives absolutely zero fucks about it, because they probably have the love of their life waiting for them if they “strike out and crawl home”.

person one: rebecca is acting weird, do you think she is mad we called her a hoe?

person two: i hope she isn’t in her reputation era (rep era), she has my nudes

Taleb'ed his own reputation

Destroying your own reputation completely and irreversibly in a few quick steps. Usually refers to someone's great reputation that was built over a very long time and which was utterly destroyed in a very short time by their own unexpectedly ridiculous actions, like the previously-respected famous author Nicholas Nassim Taleb did to his own reputation after many consecutive aggressive rants on social media that many saw as complete mental break-downs and as attacks to his own ideas, books, friends, colleagues and followers. This is one of the quickest known "from Hero to Zero" in the modern world.

He was building his reputation for 20 years but he Taleb'ed his own reputation in 20 minutes
