You know those things-hilariously unsexy moments, food crises, weird man breeds, icky body disasters-you and your friends experience every day but don't, um, quite know how to put into words? Well, Cosmo's done it for you.
Atkins Attack:
A sudden, absurd burst of crankiness from someone on a low-carb diet. "Oh, spare me the attitude. I know you're just having an Atkins attack because you haven't had a bagel in six days."
Baked Alaska:
A girl/celebrity who fries herself in tanning salons in the dead of winter "Who does that baked Alaska think she's kidding? She obviously wants us all to think she just came back from the Bahamas."
Bam! Sex:
A carnal encounter that comes with little forewarning, often preceded by multiple beers. As in "We were just hanging out, talking, and then bam!.. we're in bed."
