pusillanimous \pyoo-suh-LAN-uh-muhs\, adjective:

Pusillanimous comes from Late Latin pusillanimis, from Latin pusillus, "very small, tiny, puny" + animus, "soul, mind."

 

workout impostor

• One who walks around in workout or gym-like clothing to give the effect that they have worked out or gone to the gym today or are planning to work out or go to the gym today when in reality they have not or are not going to. One usually does this to make oneself feel better about their physique or to seem like they are physically fit when in reality they have done nothing today.

Look at that girl in the nike shorts, under armour shirt and asics sneakers with a pony tail. She is totally a workout impostor. I didn't see her at the track or the gym at all today.

Holiday: 

Steak and Blowjob Day

• Celebrated on March 14th, Steak and Blowjob Day is a holiday for men, celebrated the month after Valentine's Day -- a holiday for women. The idea is simple: no cards, flowers, candy or other whimsical gifts. Ladies (and gay men), you simply bestow your partner with a steak and a blowjob. Not necessarily in that order.

Jeff: "Hey Bob, what did Stacey get you for Steak and Blowjob Day?" 

Bob: "Well Jeff, that would be a big juicy steak, and a big juicy blowjob."
