I'm really sad that the terms "mook" and "midriff" never caught on, because they're still very useful for describing these people, when needed. Like, I want to note this bizarre mook invasion of True Grounds that just occurred, while I was sitting here. (They mean well, and are clearly friendly-friends of the clerk, but are still stinking up the place with all their mooking, such as the one with the reverse ballcap noting his surprise at the presence of a couch by pointing at it and man-squealing.) Well, they just left, anyway.
I used to call these people Chads and Jens, when I was in college, but those terms are probably even less useful to drop generally.
I immediately picked it up when she mentioned it, even though I hadn't rnu across it before. I think that it has something to do with the type of people who would give their children that name, at least in our generation. Or at least that sounds somewhat plausible.
