real world

An MTV "reality" show which presents a highly accurate portrayal of what "the real world" is "really" like. Upon college graduation, we're all inevitably thrust into this scary "real world" where a music channel jets us off to an exotic locale and puts us up in an obscenely gorgeous house overlooking an equally obscenely gorgeous beach. And just like in the "real world" we get to experience this standard of living without paying a single dime in rent. I shudder with terror every time I view it because it serves as a constant and painful reminder of what I had to endure in my early 20's when I was living in a Tuscan villa for free. But that which doesn't kill us, makes us stronger.

If you didn't sense the heavy sarcasm in my "Real World" definition, then you most definitely are NOT living in the "Real World".

it's not you, it's me

The reason one gives when terminating a relationship with someone who turns out to be repulsive and/or mind-numbingly boring.

It's not you, it's me...I'm just not attracted to you.
