Austin slang for the endless and eternal traffic jam that is Loop 1, collectively known to Austinites as MoPac.
The MoPacalypse continues. I saw no fewer than 3 separate pile-ups on the way downtown.
Parents who are white on the outside, but Asian all the way through. Named after a type of rice cake from Japan that uses white rice.
Same unbalanced focus on grades/academics at expense of all else, same overbearing and overprotective nature, same perfectionist kids who burn out from anxiety.
Scott: Fuuuuuck, my parents yelled at me all night for getting an 89 on the last exam. I still have a 4.1 GPA, so I don’t see what the problem is. I can’t handle my parents anymore.
Richard: Sounds like a classic case of onigiri parents.
A so-called “Chinese restaurant” where almost everything on the entire menu is fried. The owner of a Frynese place is rarely ever actually Chinese, nor are the majority of the clientele.
If you don’t mind getting the runs afterwards, you can find Frynese restaurants in virtually any town, regardless of size. Their menu consists of fried pork, fried chicken, fried beef, fried fish, fried shrimp, fried squid, fried vegetables for those trying to eat healthy, fried rice, and fried fries. The only clue that this is even supposed to be a Chinese restaurant is that they have soy sauce and sweet and sour sauce instead of ketchup and mayo. The menu probably isn’t even in Mandarin. And a fortune cookie which they’d fry if they could.
Someone who has a full time job but still lives with their parents. A term coined by Greg Evans in his newspaper comic strip LuAnn. Becoming increasingly common as costs of living continue to rise.
I hate being an independent dependent.
A cute, wholesome little Chad who loves playing with Tonka Trucks.
Zoo Wee Mama! Shlad loves his new Tonka Truck. He epic!
Trying to speak Spanish, stumbling on a word, and just guessing at the word, usually by putting an o at the end.
Alice: ¿A donde trabajas, Bob? (Where do you work, Bob?)
Bob: Yo trabajo en un tienda de… bookos. (I work at a bookstore- forgetting the word for books and using Guesspañol instead)
One of those restaurants where the staff makes fun of you the entire time. Expect one uninterrupted hour of jokes about the size of your manhood, various inappropriate relations between you and other party members, and any physical defect you’ve brought into the building.
Dick’s Last Resort in Dallas and Barton Springs Saloon in Austin are two examples of roastaurants.
