The 5'11'' stigma

The fact that 5'11 is seen as short, but someone who is 6 feet tall is seen as tall.

The 5'11'' stigma in action
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anthony, who is 5'11'': Hey Beth wanna go out sometime?
Beth: No way, short stack.
Charles, who is 6': Sup, Beth, interested in a date?
Beth: Wow, you're like a giraffe! 7:00 good?

Anthony: The 5'11'' stigma is a real bitch.

Plot Polonium

The opposite of plot armor: a predictable guarantee that a character will die for plot purposes.

Refers to the 2006 assassination of Russian defector Alexander Litvinenko in London using polonium, a dangerous and radioactive element.

Andrew: That dude is making out with the main character’s love interest!
Bill: He has plot polonium. He’ll die by two episodes. I’m calling it.

The Mopacalypse

Austin slang for the endless and eternal traffic jam that is Loop 1, collectively known to Austinites as MoPac.

The MoPacalypse continues. I saw no fewer than 3 separate pile-ups on the way downtown.
