luxury ghetto

This term is used to describe places along the lines of unethical safaris in Kenya, certain all-inclusive resorts in India, and fortress-like compounds in areas like Cape Town, etc, which are built directly in the center of impoverished and economically destitute geographic areas. Luxury ghettos are blood-sucking establishments that exist solely for the daillances of the wealthy, while the surrounding land receives little to no economic benefit.

“It’s very important to connect to the community and not to just have luxury ghettos” -- Praveen Moman

This term describes the nightly experience of those unfortunate schmucks who just absolutely cannot fucking fall asleep, no matter how much thrashing around in bed they do or how much ruminating over past mistakes they indulge in. Instead of falling asleep, an insomniac is simply failing asleep.

Bob: "<mumble> last night I was failing asleep and couldn't stop thinking about some shit from middle school when I got my bike stolen"

Tina: "Yaasssss!!"

coin box

A nickname reserved for any woman who's been pounded more times than a coin box on Super Mario. Works best if the female doesn't know the true meaning and thinks it's an odd, but maybe sorta sweet nickname.
