Tendernob

San Francisco, California term for the area on the border between the economically depressed neighborhood of the Tenderloin and the upscale Nob Hill district. Provides striking juxtapositions of wealth and poverty. Often used with sexually suggestive implications.

I was at Geary and Leavenworth in the Tendernob when I saw some desperate girl climb into a stranger's Grand Cherokee.

Tendernob Tumbleweed

A consolidated ball of a pigeon's down feathers, which gently rolls throughout the streets and sidewalks.

An urban equivalent (specifically the San Francisco neighborhood bordering Nob Hill & the Tenderloin, highly populated by pigeons) to the North American tumbleweed (Salsola pestifera) found in rural desert environments.

1. Tendernob tumbleweeds were swirling around my feet, carried by strong ocean driven breeze as the sun set on yet another bustling day in a towering city.

2. "Heads up bro, tendernob tumblweeds blowing your way, 12 o'clock."
