We at Freudian Slip know dating is hard. Really, trust us, WE KNOW.
So, in always looking out for your best interests, we compiled a classy list of pick up lines you can use if you find yourself in a tea house sometime.
I like my men like I like my tea,
• Strong
• Dark
• Sweet
• Hot
• Bitter
• Green
• Able to burn my tongue
• With a little string attached to them
• Leaking onto my jeans
• To go
• Lukewarm
• With limited caloric content
• Not in my nose
• Probably not as good as its British counterpart
• Cheap
• Decaffeinated
• Not breathing.
• Good in bed
And of course
• In a plastic cup

List 2- Electric Bugaloo
Movies I've Seen Thus Far in 2010, and My Thoughts On Them, Based on Several Factors.
1) Sherlock Holmes
A-Fecking-Mazing
(Okay, some people didn't like the whole "Matrix" thing, or the fact that the Watson/Holmes dynamic was a bit different from what goes on in the Doyle books, or that there was a pretty clear setup for a sequel. Jude Law was in very tight pants for two hours= I had no complaints.)
2) Up in the Air
Not bad. It was no "Burn After Reading", but not bad. The plot is different to a good extent, there's some hard core dramatic irony, the acting is good excepting Vera Whateverhernameis, and there are some funny bits. However, the ending is in and of itself a bit of an anticlimax. If you like George Clooney or cameos by that guy who plays Juno's dad, this would be a good movie to see.
That's it. What, you think I spend my whole life in a movie theatre? The year is 13 days old, people, and I've already seen a good 25% of all movies I saw last year in theaters.
Oh, and I rented Hamlet 2. DO NOT BOTHER. RENT SPONGEBOB OR SOMETHING MINDLESS OF THAT NATURE. IT WILL SERVE YOU BETTER.

superidiomtuesday
I am really sorry about the lack of updates. I have been ill. Sinus infection. *shakes fist* COLBERT!!!! *shakes fist*
So here are all the idioms that went missing:
(10-01-12) In Queer Street: in a difficult situation especially because of lack of money. My cousin is in Queer Street, he can't afford to pay the rent. He's also too lazy to find a job, but that's a different matter entirely.
(10-01-11) Dirt cheap: extremely cheap. Dude, I found one of my textbooks for next semester on amazon.com dirt cheap!
(10-01-10) Have a bee in one's bonnet:to have an idea or a thought remain in one's mind; to have an obsession. I have a bee in my bonnet about going to London.
(10-01-09) pipe-dream: a wish or an idea which is impossible to achieve or carry out. (From the dreams/hallucinations induced by smoking opium). Our study abroad ain't some pipe-dream.
(10-01-08) Milk of human kindness:Natural kindness and sympathy shown to others. (From Shakespeare's Scottish Play). Dude, your girlfriend is such a beach, she's lacking the very milk of human kindness.
(10-01-07)Put that in your pipe and smoke it! :
See how you like that! It is final, and you have to live with it .
Listen, I don't love you anymore, kay? You are a horrible, cruel person, and the only reason I ever put up with you is for the sake of the fish, put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Wednesday List- 2010 style
Please be impressed with exorbitant amount of effort put into this list, courtesy of the "Freudian Slip Films Executive Writer's Meeting" on Monday.
LIST OF PEOPLE WHO ARE PROBABLY HIPSTERS
1. You.
1'. Probably me and Natalia as well.
2. Everyone else.
Idiom of the day:
Give something a lick and a promise: to do something poorly-quickly and carelessly.
John, remember to actually comb your hair this time; don't just give it the usual lick and a promise.

break one's duck
to have one's first success at something, especially after many many failures
Jim has finally gotten Mary to go out him, it seems he's finally broken his duck in the dating world. ;)
Please try to use this phrase in a sentence by tomorrow evening. Best of luck as it seems to be a very difficult phrase to slip into everyday conversation, especially when people have no clue what the heck you're talking about. Anyway, have a spectacular Tuesday, and expect a list tomorrow.
Consider this in the meantime:
Male zebras have white stripes, but female zebras have black stripes.
A truly wise man never plays leapfrog with a unicorn.
If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Ringing in 2010
Hey everyone, we are fully back after a brief hiatus associated with finals and holidays. Today we had an executive writers' meeting, which went very well. One of my new years resolutions is to be more actively involved in FSF, meaning to actually get some of our ideas from idea stage to written stage to film stage, so expect more...if you see me slaking, please comment here, on twitter or on facebook.
One things we would like to start (in addition to the "It's Wednesday" lists) is The English Idiom game. It was inspired by something Demetri Martin mentioned on his comedy sketch: "If I". Mr. Martin played a game with his friends when he was in law school that he needed to use a particular word in an answer to a question whenever a teacher asked...words like "sassy" for example.
I received a wonderful book this holiday season: NTC's Super-Mini English Idioms Dictionary (An Up-to-Date Guide to the Idioms of British English.
We will pick an idiomatic expression every day, and you, my fellow Freudian Slip Film-ers, will be challenged to use the expression at some point in the course of the day. We will try to update these daily. In addition, I will try to give them to you the day before (ie, today you will be seeing tomorrow's expression). If you are able to use the expression, let us know, and you will get a point. When you reach a number of points (TBD) you will get a prize.
Today's idiomatic expression was: play cat and mouse (with someone) to capture and release someone over and over; to treat a person in one's control in such a way that the person does not know what is going to happen next.
example: David has been playing cat and mouse with Laura, and she's getting so sick of it that she just might break up with him.
Tomorrow (January 5th) the idiomatic expression is a choice of three expressions of similar meaning: (as) happy as a sandboy/ (as) happy as Larry; (as) happy as the day is long meaning very happy; carefree
Example: Mary's as happy as a sandboy now that she is married. Peter is as happy as Larry in his new job. Mrs. Robinson has many friends and is as happy as the day is long.
