2-10-2

2-10-2 (or 2/10/2) is U.S. Navy slang for a female who is unattractive, but then becomes "attractive" when she joins the Navy. Women in the U.S. Navy (and the other branches of the U.S. military) generally get more attention than on land, because of the number of males to females.

"She was a 2 before going out to sea, a 10 out at sea, then back to a 2 when she returned."
"She's a real 2-10-2"

10-2-2

Doesnt have to be the ugliest person in the club but it describes the woman (or man) who you ask home at 1.50am, hence "10 -2- 2 (ten minutes to 2 am), when all else has failed on the romance front.

Usually not the sort of person you would go for, but sometimes you strike lucky.

Often the remark "Get your jacket, you've pulled" is made at some point.

"Right lads, this is getting bad. That bird I have been chatting up all night has vanished and I need a jump. I'm off to find a 10-2-2"

"Dont go near the Hypocrocogryph, you'll need a plank across your arse!"
