Bone China: Extremely expensive, bone china is known for its high levels of whiteness and translucency, and very high mechanical strength and chip resistance. It's pretty, it can last for a long time, but trust me when you pay for this stuff you will definitely feel shafted!
Translucent:
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Translucent: Allowing light to pass through without being quite transparent. Often associated with beauty like the petals of a flower when the sun shines through, or the leaves of a tree on a summer's day, or the skin of one of those fish where you can see the internal organs. Note: This last reference may not have been beautiful so much as ICK.
Small hands, since two Presidential candidates just--yes, we're all still on planet earth--talked about the ostensible relation of hand size to, uh, well...think appendage and then fill in the blanks.
Obsessed with facial symmetry.
Small hands: Reach deficiency, made up for by the size of the mouth and the depth of the BS
Deficiency:
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Deficiency: A quality excelled in by all Presidential candidates this year. Can also relate to a lack of vitamins in one's diet, but most physicians agree it's now mainly about the Presidential candidates.

Wankers: Those presidential candidates I don’t plan to vote for.

Man up: What soon happens when "Man down!" isn't as serious as it first appeared.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Mahatma Gandhi
Schedule: What I don't keep to, wherever possible.
YesNo, was that "Man up" directed at me?
Daylight Bloody Saving Time:

Not at all. I heard the phrase in a movie a couple of days ago and felt I had to get professional help in finding out what it meant.Originally Posted by Tyrion Cheddar
Daylight Bloody Saving Time: A futile vampire attempt to make the Sun come up at the same time each day.
Untermenschen (I read this on the Yugoslavia thread)

Untermenschen: Another name for Julian May's Firvulags.
Futile
Futile: An exercise in insanity, defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result
in flagrante delicto (as a legal term):
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
In flagrante dilecto: You come home from work and start loosening your tie as, with the other hand, you turn the key in the lock of the front door. You look up as you walk in and there she is. Wifey. Only...it's not the wifey you know. Not the one who kisses you when you sit down at the breakfast table and packs the kids' lunches. Nor indeed the one who wore white for you on that day long ago. No, this...this is an entirely different wifey.
This is a wifey who, despite what she insists when you ask her to get on top, appears to have two of the strongest knees of any woman in her age group. Just ask the first man. Or is he the third man? Likewise, this wifey exceeds Olympic gymnast standards in terms of flexibility, as witness the arch in her back as she cranes to reach...we'll call him the second man. As to the third man, let's just say your right hand suddenly feels outclassed.
It is when you walk in on this scene that you learn the mean of in flagrante dilecto.
Harlot:
Obsessed with facial symmetry.
Harlot: The woman in the above scenario along with the three guys. Since harlot means "one who is a sexual deviant," why should only the woman be blamed? She is hardly a harlot by herself, right? Someone else has to be involved...
Deviant:

Deviant: Anyone whose nature, emotions or desires are not in line with whatever sort of nature, emotions and desires society deems to be healthy and appropriate at a given moment.
Shifting sands:
Obsessed with facial symmetry.
Shifting sands: According to Scripture, where the foolish man builds his house. Describes the Republican party at the moment, their platform built on shifting sands and fantasy, a mirror image of the shadow of a mirage...
Mirror Image:

Mirror Image: What the Evil Queen of Snow White fame looked into every day, demanding it declare her the fairest of them all, even though she was sagging a bit around the middle and had skin an iguana would be envious of. Also, the basis of possibly the best episode of the original Star Trek, called Mirror, Mirror.
Hokum, since ya dun mentioned politics and all.
