Ass Eyes - (noun) - 1. Nickname for Glen Carlin, older brother of Clay and Spencer Carlin. It was given to him by Ashley in episode 2.05 "Rules of Engagement" when he was being particularly difficult because he couldn't be high on his drugs. More than likely, she was about to call him a-hole, but she suddenly remembered that she was on network television on a show that has a PG-14 rating. In other words, that wouldn't have
Spashley - spash·ley [spàsh lee] (noun) 1. Name merge of the lead characters, Spencer and Ashley, from the groundbreaking teen drama, South of Nowhere 2. Main lesbian coupling 3. First love, True Love, Forever love 4. Hope

It was gonna be She-bangs but I hate that song.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man-bangs - man·bangs [man bangs] (noun) 1. Name for that thing that's hanging on Aiden's forehead in season 3. Not that it looks bad, it's just… we don't have a name for it. Hence, the word man-bangs. Hey, props to Aiden though. Only a real man can rock the man-bangs.
Solid - so·lid [sólld] (noun) 1. I have no idea. I think that's a generational thing. But, if I were to go by context, doing someone a solid seems to be synonymous with doing them a favor. Don't quote me on that though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheerbitch - cheer·bitch [cheer bich] (noun) 1. Ashley's term of endearment for King High's cheerleading population, mainly Madison, but she's not exclusive. Ooh, that was kind of a dig.

 

Jockstrap - jock·strap [jok strap] (noun) 1. An elasticized belt worn by sportsmen to support their *coughs* you-know-whats 2. Or, more commonly, a jockstrap is any member of the grunty, sweaty, although freakishly pristine sports population at King High
Breeder - bree·der [bréed r] (noun) 1. Sometimes paired with cheer (i.e. cheerbreeder), I'm guessing it's Ashley's term for the straight people at King 2. To older generations, it's someone who's old enough to have kids

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ellen Twins - Ell·en Twins [el·in twinz] (noun) 1. Madison called Spencer and Ashley this in the first season, hinting at the apparently very obvious budding relationship between the two girls. I'm just attributing it to the fact that Madison's one of those straight girls with fantastic gaydar.
Siiick - siiick [siiiik] (adjective) 1. Aiden's descriptive word for anything he thinks is gonna be cool or fun. I wonder what he uses when he's actually siiick.

Fighting Crime - figh·ting crime [fit·ing krim ] (verb) 1. Codeword for generation S.E.X. about, well, what else, sex. Sadly, this one isn't an Ashley invention, but Aiden's. He'd apparently been catching up on some Douglas Coupland and fancied the whole phrase for hookups between friends; fighting crime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love these…brownies - I·love·these·brow·nies [i luv theeez brówneez] () 1. This is what you say when you're kind of way into your friend who may or may not have recently admitted to you that she kinda likes girls and you being gay yourself and actually having eyes can't help but start to dig her…more. Yeah, so, instead of getting all mushy and completely putting yourself out there, you try to stay impartial but the way she looks at you
sometimes is completely disarming and before you know it, you're ready to tell all, and almost do, but come to at the last minute possible and change gears muttering that you love brownies instead. 2. Or, you know, cute.

 

Dirty Little Secret - dir·ty lit·tle se·cret [ ] (noun) 1. Awesome song by the All-American Rejects 2. Or, what Ashley is not gonna be, for Spencer, at all. Okay, maybe for a little while, but not if Spencer's gonna go on blind dates her mom set up for her. She's gay Paula.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Generation S.E.X - gen·er·a·tion s e x [jen-uh-rey-shuhn] (noun) 1. What we all want to be a part of 2. What Ashley thinks the current generation of teenagers define themselves as. Not entirely inaccurate. Most of us just get it on out of the way now so we don't have something else looming over our heads, like, I dunno a crappy Commander in Chief or global warming.

 

La La Land - la·la·land [lah] [lah] [land] 1. the city of Angels; Los Angeles 2. The setting for South of Nowhere. 3. Ashley's name for LA, probably because the city's naturally crazy nature, or maybe it's because when most people talk around here you stick your fingers in your ears and go "la la la" because just like people online, people in LA, "They lie."

 

been appropriate language. Ass-eyes works though, although, wouldn't Ashley have ass-eyes too. I mean, if you follow hers in episode 1.05 "Molding Clay", when Spencer walks away…
