Synopsis

The Girl Code is a good-humored, Generation-X inspired, illustrated "love dictionary" -- tongue-in-cheek slang terms for the different stages of love and dating, for body parts and common sexual experiences, ways of making up and breaking up, and the basic rules of play that every should know. For instance, Farr defines what it means for a man to be "In the Rotation" (the occasional date) versus "Luggage" (the ex-lover you can't seem to ditch) and explains when and why to use such other useful and apt terms, as "The Recycling Bin", where women in extreme stages of single life start looking for men; "The Big Ticket Item", the kind of gift that gets men out of serious trouble; and "Wingman", as in, You Never Leave Your Wingman (the friend you came with) no matter what or who happens by.

By turns silly, hilariously familiar, even raunchy, The Girl Code is modern dating defined.
