Holiday
Cramming a year's worth of living into a period of approximately two weeks, in an attempt to relax from the rigours of work. |
Homeless, The
Unsightly blemishes on the face of the city, easily ignored by averting one's glance. |
Hometown
A peculiarly American community which nurtures its members during their formative years so that they may attend a good school, succeed handsomely and spend their lives somewhere else. |
Hooker
A working woman commonly despised by people who sell themselves for even less. |
Horsey Set
The rusticating rich, a merry tribe of country folk who choose quadrupeds as the favoured means of locomotion, if only to distinguish themselves from their yokel neighbours beyond the white fence. |
Hospital
A bleak hotel with spartan rooms and notoriously bad cuisine; despite these and other shortcomings (e.g. the notable lack of a swimming pool and/or piano bar), many of the guests never leave. |
Hostage
A human being held captive in hopes of extracting something in return, as practised by terrorists, kidnappers, and Saturday-morning toy advertisers during the Christmas season. |
Hot Dog
A perennially popular sausage containing an alarming conglomeration of former animal parts and by-products, causing justifiable suspicions about the nickname by which this particular sausage is so widely known. |
Hot Tub
A steaming vat filled with bacteria, body oils and other exudations from boiling flesh of one's fellow hedonists. |
Houseplants
Vegetable companions; pleasant green pets that rarely bite or throw up on the carpet. |
