POTATO

an acronym for People Over Thirty Acting Twenty-one Online. On dating sites, chatrooms and social network, a potato will often present himself or herself as younger than his or her actual age.
Jess is a second-year university student who met a cute guy online. His profile picture looked like Bradley Cooper, and he was listed as twenty-two years old. When she met him in person, he was almost forty and looked very different from his picture. She found a real POTATO.

backcountry

a remote area not easily accessed by most of the general public. By definition, the backcountry is situated far from urban areas. The remote and untouched nature of the backcountry also brings with it a variety of hazards, including extreme weather conditions, wild animals, and rough terrain.

The Australian equivalent of backcountry is the Outback, which the British refer to as the bush.
After four years at an urban university, with all the amenities and conveniences that came with it, he never readjusted to the backcountry surroundings in which he was born and raised.

safe music

song selling

Song selling takes place when a singer-songwriter earns money in exchange for the rights to use his or her original music, often to a (more) famous, or up-and-coming, recording artist.

If a singer-songwriter has written a catchy song but seems to fall short on vocal or instrumental ability, a listener might say, "you should sell your song." Hearing this can be extremely disheartening for singer-songwriters, especially those who are still developing their talents, or have not yet enjoyed their fifteen minutes of fame.
Why does song selling even exist? Any band or singer who is worth their weight can write their own songs.

TGE

abbreviation for 'truly gay environment.' A city, town or other general area where any and all sexual preferences are celebrated and encouraged, though not necessarily gay. For example, a person who spends enough time in a TGE such as the Castro District of San Francisco or Greenwich Village in New York will have a fuller opportunity to explore and understand his or her true sexual orientation than someone who lives in an environment where heterosexuality is the one preferred norm.
While San Francisco is thought of as being an ultimate TGE, as recent as the late 1970s it was a struggle for the city to elect its first gay mayor.
