Biographical Leverage

A euphemistic sanitisation of 'blackmail'

This is the sort of double-speak of which Sir Humphrey Appleby would be rightly proud.  Basically to use information about your past to extract a benefit or advantage from or over you.

Cunninglinguisms - butterface

butterface
Butterface refers to a woman who has a hot body but does not have the face to match.
I have heard this expression used in relation to many many women including by myself.  Now a butterface doesn't necessarily mean that the lady in question is ugly or even unattractive but it does mean that the face does not conform to the hotness of the otherwise smoking hot body of the subject under scrutiny.  
example
Jim - How was your date with your sister's freind?  Was she hot? 
John - She had a smoking body but she was a bit of a butterface which was a shame.

bakku-shan
A woman who appears attractive from behind but is not when viewed from the front.
The Japanese are a wonderful people and they have provided this term for us to use in those circumstances we all encounter from time to time where we see a smoking hot chick from behind only to find out that she's been beaten with the ugly stick when viewed from the front.
