My Roarin' Twenties
Party, Bar, & Club Glossary of Terms: First Edition

The weekend’s here again. Don’t be afraid to utilize these words and terms when you’re hitting the streets:

BOMO - the act of jamming one’s tongue down another person’s throat in a state of severe inebriation; blackout make out.
Ex. I BOMOed with this chick last night and she tasted like vomit.

Cement Shoes - the act of finding a spot, usually up against a wall or near a doorway, planting yourself there, and remaining motionless for an extended period of time, often with some type of lean or pose that projects coolness.
Ex. He had cement shoes near the living room couch because it was the best place to survey the room and scout the female talent.

Cross-over - during flirtation, the switch of one’s focus and attention to the friend of the initial target.
Ex. At first I was hitting on that hottie in the pink tank top, but I pulled a cross-over on her when I saw her friend had a tongue ring.

Ghost Whisperer - a female who uses her attractiveness to coax drinks out of a guy all night long, makes advances, but disappears when the time comes to go back to either party’s apartment.
Ex. I wasted eighty bucks on that ghost whisperer last night and now my streak’s up to three months because of it.

Hail Mary - a last resort at the end of the night when a person, having struck out with every guy/girl approached throughout the night, takes one final shot at the next guy/girl he/she sees, usually making an aggressive play that may include uninvited grabbing, groping, and/or licking with the hopes it will result in a shared cab to a mutual destination.
Ex. Mark was worn down from all the rejection he’d faced that night and decided to throw up a Hail Mary with the hefty girl dancing on the bar.

Kiel Out - to ruin your chances with a girl, even a sure thing, through no one’s fault but your own because you’re an over-thinking moron.
Ex. Don’t Kiel Out.

Mutual Pump Fest - sex; sexual intercourse; doing it and doing it and doing it well.
Ex. Excuse me, miss, could I interest you in a mutual pump fest back at my place?

Post Up - the female act of finding an unsuspecting male, who is often innocently standing around, and backing that ass up into his groin area to the beat of the music.
Ex. I wasn’t even trying to meet anybody last night, but when I was drinking my beer with cement shoes at the corner of the bar, some girl came out of nowhere and posted me up.

Kim Kardashian posting up Reggie Bush

Shampoo Effect - when a person drinks a lot (lather), stops drinking (rinse), then drinks again later (repeat) and finds it much easier to become intoxicated again.
Ex. He’d passed out by two in the afternoon on Marathon Monday, but when he woke up that night he was drunk again after a couple more beers because of the Shampoo Effect.

Silent Assassin - in a group of male friends, the one guy who doesn’t do anything to help his cause, usually staying silent in a corner of the room with cement shoes on, but still inevitably ends up being the only one in the group to leave with a girl.
Ex. I don’t get it - she was posting me up all night, but she still left with the silent assassin.

Tax Base - the relative attractiveness of guys/girls at the party, club, or bar.
Ex. The girls were hot enough to exclude themselves from any party that wasn’t of the highest tax base.

Have a term of your own to add to the glossary? Until I move my blog to WordPress and gain access to a blogging service that makes commenting simple, submissions will need to be done through replies on Twitter (@KielServideo), Facebook, or email (kiel.servideo@gmail.com).
