_Breaking the seal_ was common when I was in college nearly 20 years ago. My doctor friend claims that this comes about because your bladder is so stretched it feels empty long before it is - he says to wait a little while and you will find that you have to urinate more. I have found there to be some truth to this - however I am usually drunk when I am doing this experiment, so I can’t be convince of the veracity of my observations. ---

[QUOTE=jjimm] I’m having problems parsing this. Can you elaborate? [/QUOTE] I am not sure how else to explain it… He says that because your bladder is so stretched it temporarily loses some ability to feel when it is empty. [I’m now interjecting my opinion] I suppose what happens is the nerves are overloaded from holding it so long[/end my opinion] He says that the bladder shrinks to a certain size and we feel empty - but we aren’t. He says to simply stand at the urinal for a few minutes - relaxed - and the bladder will start to push out more urine. I have found this to be true when I have tried it. I have never measured how much more comes out - but is more than a few drops. ---

That actually condradicts my opinion - that the bladder overreacts when it’s only half-full - but validates that second flow thing, which I always thought was the kidneys working overtime. Interesting! ---

[QUOTE=Struan] And its close relative “Bobfoc” [/QUOTE] I’ve heard “Dreamboat Body, Shipwreck Face.” As to “breaking the seal,” I can only say I had never heard that term used that way before I opened this thread. ---

[QUOTE=Misnomer] Yes, and yes: I first heard/used it in college, and I still use it now at the age of 35. I’ve never met anyone who had to ask me what I mean. Oh, and in my case it’s “Insider Woman Lingo.” 😉 [/QUOTE] Same here! Been using it since college, 35, woman. ---

Two-bagger: a woman so ugly that you’d have to put a bag over her head in order to have sex with her. And another bag over that one in case the first one breaks. Related to beer goggles, “She’s a #,” used for women who wouldn’t be considered attractive without being under the influence of alcohol. Where # = the amount of beer you’d have to have drunk before considering going home with said female. Examples: “She’s a pitcher.” “She’s a six-pack.” “It’d take a _case_ for her.” For pointing out women, the aviator “o’clock” system is invaluable. 12 o’clock is directly in front, 6 o’clock directly behind the person you’re trying to guide. Note that this is _not_ in relation to the guide. The inability to provide proper spatial orientation will result in insults questioning the guide’s manhood. Cockblock: person who interferes when attempting to hit on a woman. Can be either a female or male companion of the woman, or another man who is trying to hit on her. Your wingman can also become a cockblock if he’s not a good wingman, screws up, or is just a target-stealing asshole. Wingman: companion used to peel away defensive elements around a woman you’re trying to hit on. Can also be a wingwoman, though it’s pretty rare to find a female friend who is willing to help you approach women, help you overcome any defensive reactions, and make you look good. Gods, just knowing these makes me look like a woman-hating pig. I’m not though, honest. ---

I’m 67 and I never heard _breaking the seal_ used in the present context before today. And I’ve spent way too much time in low-life beer joints. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/insider-man-lingo-what-else-have-i-missed/400791.md?page=1)
