catalog
by Josephandjon on May 09, 2016 03:24:04
Dressed like your right out of a J.Crew or Banana Republic catalog. It differs slightly from 'J.Crew' or Preppy in that it's a phrase applied to a situation where the clothes are wearing the man rather than a particular lifestyle reflected in the clothes worn by the man.
For example: a medical tech who usually wears blue hospital scrubs dressed in
chinos and a
button-down plaid shirt; all creases were crisp (right out of the package)...or...
A a slovenly overweight college kid raised by Vermont hippies and who's never worn a tie, dresses to meet his girlfriends parents.
Catalog Engineer
by The Third Jay Guy on Dec 16, 2010 00:21:11
Someone who reads catalogs of equipment -- high performance
car parts, electronics or whatever -- and suddenly thinks he knows everything. These people are easy to spot -- they spend a great deal of money "improving" their cars,
stereos or whatever. What they say sounds like
hyperbolic ad copy and they won't let go of their beliefs, no matter how often someone proves them wrong.
Example:
Adam: Oh great,
Ed's on a rant. He bought some gadget he found in a
hot rod magazine for his car and claims it's doubled the power and his fuel economy. I looked at the thing and it's junk, just like all the other "performance parts" he
bought in the last month.
Eve: That's Ed, alright. A real "Catalog Engineer."
college catalog
by Matt on Aug 20, 2006 11:24:23
When there are any combination of black, asian, and
white people of mixed
genders present at any location.
Named after the pictures of
diversity that colleges send to high school students.
Example:
Guy 1: Look dude, it's an Indian chick,
black chick, and an
asian and
white guy in that car.
Guy 2: It's like a college catalog in there.
Catalog Commando
by TheNutnfancyProjectHeretic on Jan 29, 2010 08:19:31
An individual who purchases large quantities of firearms,
camouflage, knives,
body armor etc. that they have absolutely no practical use for.
The typical
catalog commando has either very limited or no military experience. They just dress that way because they believe it makes them look tough, cool and like they know what they are doing.
Another quality of the catalog commando is that they rarely (if ever) smile when they're picture is being taken. They will stand there attempting to look intimidating with an unconvincing thousand yard stare.
Example:
Firing range safety officer - "Why are you wearing camouflage and body armor to an indoor pistol range? Wait a minute, are you that
catalog commando Nutnfancy?
Nutnfancy - "Yes."
Firing range safety officer - "My god, you're even more pathetic in the flesh. NOW GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY RANGE DOUCHER!!!!!"
social cataloging
by msvaccarino on Nov 05, 2011 05:52:16
a
subset of social media; a website or web application that allows users to digitally
catalog things they care about - music, books, movies, art, food, crafts,
DIY, etc. while at the same time sharing their content in an online community
Example:
Ex: Pinterest,
GoodReads, Steroemood, FoodGawker, Craftgawker,
WeHeartit
Emily: I can't get off of Pinterest! This social cataloging site is so cool, look at all of my pinboards.
Ashley: Whatever, I'm on
goodreads adding books to my digital bookshelf. I'll stick you with a pin if you bother me again.
