father-out-law

Definition

Your girlfriend or boyfriend's dad, whom you must impress without the legal protection that marriage provides. He's technically not your father-in-law, but he's definitely judging whether you're worthy of his child. One wrong move at Thanksgiving and you're toast.

Example Usage

My father-out-law just asked me about my 'five-year plan' while we were watching football, so I guess this is getting serious.

victorian goth

A goth subculture aesthetic that trades fishnet and spikes for corsets, long skirts, and parasols straight out of the 1800s.
