Lisbon - A city whose native population are largely thieves. Readers Digest planted "dropped" wallets in 16 western cities, twelve in each city, each with $50, family photo and phone number of the "owner". They kept track of how many of the wallets were returned by the finders. Helsinki, Finland was most honest with 11 out of 12 returned. Lisbon was least honest with 1 out of 12 wallets returned. But it turns out, the single returned wallet was returned by tourists from Holland!

Term adopted by fans of CBS-TV's police-procedural drama, THE MENTALIST. Came from a typically offhanded slighting remark by title character Patrick Jane (Simon Baker). Refers to the kind of just-barely-dressy beachcomber-type sandals often worn by Teresa Lisbon, co-star (Robin Tunney).

"My firm is very conservative and frowns slightly on Lisbon Loafers, even in the summer. Actually, policy is kind of hypocritical because no one minds secretaries in them, but nonetheless it's a big turn-off to HR when a women interviews in them. Unfair, no?"

The most successful portuguese sports club and the world's most ecletic. Characterized by being a global major football, futsal, athletics, roller hockey and volleyball powerhouse, among other modalities. In terms of number of titles, it's only comparable to Barcelona or Real Madrid, in Europe.
Sporting Lisbon is one of the biggest sports clubs in the world and the most successful in Portugal.

The worst fucking town ever found in the world. In the middle of god fore-saken nowhere that sucks ass. Totally dead end, nothing to do, and right next the second worse town ever, Necedah. The only cool person there is a freshmen actor and filmmaker.

To unalive yourself, catching other people (canonically - men) off guard when they find your dead body, possibly traumatizing them, so they're never able to forget about it, just like Lisbon sisters did in the movie "Virgin Suicides".
- I heard Jane tried to pull a lisbon on her boyfriend last night.
- It's true, he found her just in time to prevent it.
