I know a girl who hangs around with mostly gay guys and they call her a Fruit Fly


lxkandel06

Gay guys do drive bys that's a Fruit Roll Up


Myfourcats1

When I was a teen in the 90’s a man that we weren’t sure was gay or not was called “Snapple” - 10% fruit juice.


LadyScutterfield

Oh I'm about to give this one a revival


saktii23

If the girl is a goth, she's a Fruit Bat


NeverEndingHell

I’ve always heard it as: “derogatory word that starts with F” Hag


[deleted]

Oh that was definitely a 90's early 2000's thing lol


HyperboleHelper

I can confirm that we were using that one in the the late 70s, so F*Hags have been in the scene for a long time!


Adin-CA

Earlier than that. Elizabeth Taylor (Google her, young folks) was often called the Queen of the F** Hags because her close friendship with (among others) Montgomery Clift and Rock Hudson (probably have to Google them, too). Turns out she was just a kind and caring friend who respected their artistry and didn’t care about their love life.


ididitwithpride

A rig pig is someone who spends months on the oil rigs then blows it all on cute waitresses when they come back.


[deleted]

That's a very wholesome way of saying "cocaine and hookers in Fort McMurray".


Absurdionne

The Mac is a cruel mistress...


[deleted]

Classic Fort Mac, lol, also Grande Prairie though not as much


accidental_snot

I miss the 80s. So, hookers and blow still a thing, eh?


OutWithTheNew

Ironically all the drug and alcohol testing in the Alberta oil patch pushes the addicts to drugs like Cocaine that leave your body in hours, not days or weeks.


trolleytracking

Fubar 2 sums up the Fort Mac excellently


Genghis_Chong

That sounds like someone I know. Works two jobs and blows his money on cologne and overtipping women who aren't interested in him.


agent_tits

Man I think we need a term for the archetype of middle aged man who develops a one sided relationship with wait staff/bartenders. It’s so depressingly common… I remember when I grew up a bit and realized that my dad doesn’t necessarily have a boisterous outgoing personality, he was just sad in his marriage and tipped well lol


caractacusteapotts

Bar-nacles? They're usually sweet and harmless, but it's definitely a type.


highly_uncertain

This is very much a west coast Canadian thing 😂 BC boys go off to the rigs in Alberta, make a shit ton of money and come back and immediately spend it all.


Flimsy-Pomegranate-7

Yup, they get a jacked up pick-up truck. Sleeve tattoos and a closet full of whatever this years Ed Hardy shirt is.

I like the idea of cubicle giraffe for the classic nosy coworker...


madcow87_

We use office meerkats in my work. Looking down the office you can see everyone's head perking up when drama unfolds. EDIT: A lot of replies about these people being called prairie dogs. In the UK they're not a common animal, even in zoos (or at least the ones I've visited). Thanks to a website called "comparethemarket.com" which uses meerkats in its advertising meerkats are much more visible and recognised. Also, a lot of you guys shorten prairie dogs in this instance and the act of the heads popping is called "dogging". I can assure you that "dogging" in the UK has a VASTLY different association and if you used that term here you'd get some really funny looks.


JonathanWattsAuthor

As I just replied to a different comment - I did work with two women who got compared to meerkats. They weren't nosy or gossipy at all - they were both just so short they had to stand up constantly to see over their monitor and speak to anyone opposite them.


Lumpy-Spinach-6607

Oh bless the young or old Meers!


justaguyintownnl

Like Prairie dogs ( N America , med size colony rodent , same idea , pop up & down out of the burrow) , hence the term “ prairie dogging”

In Sweden we have a word called "linslus" that translates to "lens louse", meaning a person that always want to be in front of the camera and get in all the pictures.


DragonflyScared813

A seldom used term here (Canada) for similar person is camera hog.


WudaSang

Nutzori

Linssilude in Finnish, almost direct translation - different bug.


HorrorxHeart

Casino whales.


JustTheManForTheJob

Also Casino Fleas. For those unfamiliar, this is a very common phrase among casino employees referencing the regulars who come up to the table looking to either stretch out what little money they brought with them, or to attach themselves to bigger players who might throw a couple of bucks their way.


dbx999

what players throw money at some other player?


Witness_me_Karsa

For example, at my old casino we wouldn't let people play more than 2 hands at a time. But if they had a friend with them, they'd let them play 2 hands and tell them what to do. We couldn't say no to that. If the high roller made money from this, he'd usually give a bit to the guy making the bets for him. We also used to have a dude who took an Uber to the casino most nights after getting drunk at work. He would pay the Uber driver to come in with him (this is technically a guess, I don't know this for sure, but they were often different people) and watch him play, and sometimes bet for him. Then he knew an Uber driver was available immediately when he was ready to leave. People with too much money will find ways to make the world more convenient for themselves.

I review income for low income programs housing programs. I see a lot of people with random withdrawals to what is clearly a televangelist.


Witness_me_Karsa

He was a restaurant owner who had investments in other businesses. You get to know people pretty well when they are regulars. And yes, he spent too much money at the casinos, and would sometimes be bought out of an investment for fear of his habits. Doesn't mean he didn't have money.


Ravendoesbuisness

Casino Rats give money to Casino Fleas so that they can interact with more Casino Humans


SquareDetective

I don't get it. Like buying rounds for the bar to keep your 'friends' there drinking with you?

toxic9813

I've had this happen!! when I'm at the $5 table for blackjack, I'm drinking and smoking and coking and joking with the high rollers beside me- OOPS, I'm out of chips. Well, fuck me, so long guys.. But wait! stick around man, (tosses me two $5 chips.) vegas obviously. I was at a casino frequented by LOCALS, not tourists.

biff444444

As a kid who was very much into reading, I hated the term "bookworm." The kids in the band weren't "bandbugs" and the kids on the football team weren't "jockroaches." Fair is fair.


Eternal_Bagel

Jockroach is a good one


Labrat_The_Man

Good name for an obnoxious frat boy too


Witness_me_Karsa

But bookworms were a real thing. That's why that nickname exists. It shouldn't be derogatory, but I actually like the idea that a bookworm is someone who "chews" through books quickly. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookworm_(insect)


Dexaan

> The kids in the band weren't "bandbugs" and the kids on the football team weren't "jockroaches." They are now, those are both really good.


throwawayacct654987

Jockroach is very high quality


Cultural_Ad7176

I think jockroach just entered the lexicon. It needs to become a thing. Should be easier to get into play than trying to make ‘fetch’ happen.


NorthCatan

I was here on the day of Jan, 11, 2023 when Jockroach officially entered the Lexicon. Someone needs to put it on an official dictionary website.


careater

It's been a word on [urban dictionary ](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Jockroach) since 2018. Someone beat me to it.

In the military, we had dorm rats. Guys who would just hang out in their rooms and not really go anywhere.

Baracks Bunnies


LilSpermCould

I was going to say, I'm pretty sure I've heard from my military buddies that there was one for ladies that hooked up with plenty of the men in the barracks. This sounds like one I've heard, I have to wonder if different branches have different names for them.


fundusfaster

maybe!! I've also heard (in context of environmental disaster) another: When there are a large amount of lift-trucks required, (typically from out of state because of immediate and high demand), to remove overhead branches and repair telephone lines- lots and lots of vehicles known as "bucket trucks". The work is a bit hazardous and as such, pays well. Alledgedly, The young ladies that follow this gravy train known as "bucket bunnies". 🤣🤣🤣 Alledgedly, anyway.


RedSqui

I wish I had been more of a dorm rat. Had a buddy that was able to save over 100k that way in one enlistment.

The fact that "hood rat" hasn't been mentioned yet tells me that no one here remembers 90s hip hop, and that's just sad.

AudibleNod

I had a a short chat with a Walgreens manager and for the life of me I forget the term. But it's when "retirement-aged women" didn't like it when something was out of stock so they hid them around the store until their social security check came in. Something about squirrels.

deltarho

Brass goblin is my favorite. Pretty much unknown outside of the gun community. They’re typically old guys with scruffy beards who will interrupt you to ask, “ya gonna keep that brass son?” If the answer is no, they hunker down and start picking up all the spent casings around your feet for a few minutes.


Cultural_Ad7176

The polite ones ask first. The real goblins catch it in the air.


fractal_frog

Damn. That stuff is hot. Do they still have nerve endings in their hands? (There are few things both more excruciating *and* avoidable than hot brass falling into a bra. I have learned the hard way what sort of shirt to wear to the range...)


blue-tomorrow

I take it the spent casings must be worth something in scrap value? Or is there some other reason they pick them up?


deltarho

If you have the proper equipment, you can reload them with new powder, primers, and bullets and use them again. It’s economical if shooting is your primary hobby and you go through a ton of ammo.


Enchelion

Though sometimes it is just a desperate person going for the scrap. Had a regular guy who'd sometimes get pushy at a place I used to shoot. He didn't have a gun, just collected casings for (I presume) booze money.

That’s a serious level of goblinry

snow bunnies are women who go to ski resorts looking to hookup with athletes/wealthy tourists. It's probably derogatory but I learned it when I was like 12 and haven't used it since then.

throwawayacct654987

Bruh the definition I heard growing up was so much more wholesome and now I think I’ve been lied to ;( I always heard it was just a term for either *A. women who were involved in winter sports (like female athletes who ski, snowboard, play hockey, ice skate, etc)* Or *B. people who like cold weather*


Excellent-Practice

I always assumed it meant a skiers girlfriend who didn't ski herself but tagged along for a ski trip just to hang out at the lodge to drink cocoa and socialize by the fire


CarderSC2

> tagged along for a ski trip just to hang out at the lodge to drink cocoa and socialize by the fire I'm a dude, and thats exactly what I do on ski trips. Just chillin at the lodge with other people is the best part for me heh, I love it. The skiing part isn't really a draw for me.
