tired-geddon

noun. A yawn-o-caust.

Real citation: "tired-geddon
I've been battling with sheer exhaustion for the last while. I've always been an erratic sleeper. It's been at least 30 years since I last slept a whole night without waking. Part of this is having my bladder's flexbility damaged by endless cercaria. (No I don't have Bilharzia - any more). So a visit to bathroom every 3 hours or so is a norm. Secondly, I sleep really deeply for my first hour- hour and a half. Thereafter a mouse-fart on the far side of the house will wake me. And I do not wake groggy and sleepy. I go from fast asleep to wide awake in one step. It must have been very useful to the Khoi-san hunter gatherers on my mum's side."
(Feb. 24, 2008, http://davefreer.livejournal.com/55341.html)

Made-up citation: "My weariness with Sarah Palin is reaching tired-geddon proportions. Yet I can't stop thinking about her, talking about her, naming woodland critters after her, and smuggling innocent moose-ican Americans away from this killy siren from the ice planet Hoth."

Nancy Poopenheifer

noun. Now I know what to name my daughter: Nancy Poopenheifer Peters Palin.

Real citation: "Oh Jesus, check this out. Here’s a McCain campaign senior strategist, Nancy Poopenheifer or some such, talking with enigmatic Fox & Friends clown Steve Doocy about how the vice presidential debate is somehow ALREADY RIGGED for Joe Biden. Apparently it could focus on foreign policy, and that would just be unfair to Sarah Palin — how the hell is she supposed to know bullhickey about the various foreign policies? This debate is a SHAM, and since black Gwen Ifill is moderating it, well, you know she’s in the tank. Just look at all of that melanin!"

Well, probably hold an aqua-satanic ceremony, defile a nubile teen and add another guitar at the chorus, but that's beside the point. Well, at least I can add another guitar at the chorus. Gotta start somewhere.) Dave Barbe calls them his favorite American band of all time, bar none. That, and I'm wishing I still had a telecaster. WWJPD?'"

Finn and Mark went but found it too wet when they got there so they’re off to a mega shopping centre in search of an advance screening of a movie about a fighting panda. For those of us back at the ranch there has been much yelling and crying, doses of both paracetamol and stuff to dry up noses, snot by the bucketful and Baby Einstein and Play School dvds on high rotation (Play School is the more popular of the two)."

non-near-psychopath

noun. An upstanding fellow or fellowette who sprinkles no crack on their cornflakes.

Real citation: "The problem once again seems to be twofold: first, that the Republican party has what are, to me at least, politically powerful factions consisting of "batshit-insane near-psychopaths". Note that once again I'm not talk about rank-and-file GOP members, who run the gamut (as do the Democrats, fwiw), I'm specifically talking about either high-ranking members of the party or their equivalents in power amongst the Republican interest groups. Second, the non-batshit-insane, non-near-psychopaths in the GOP are, for a variety of reasons, subordinating their reason to those factions' madness; and in some cases, arguably being drawn into that madness themselves."

Since he took the trouble to reply, i think i'll vote for him. Oh, forgot! I can't, I'm a postal voter and I've cast my 43 votes for someone else already. Still at least he wrote..."

Made-up citation: "Well, my dog rolled in shit again. It wasn't a turdtastrophe of Biblical proportions like last time, but I'm still barfed out to the max.

frappawhatsit

noun. Mmm....indefinite.

Real citation: "Frappawhatsit and the health factor

uh-oh-face guy

noun. The poster boy for Wall Street whoopsies and other boo-boos of our time.

Real citation:"Would You Want To Be Known As The 'Uh-Oh Face' Guy?
This is always something I've wondered about -- there are these 'faces' on Wall Street that serve as a collective representation of the mood. It's practically the definition of a 'picture is worth a thousand words' moment. So the newspapers and all the media jump on said image to use for the frontpage headlines about jitters, meltdowns, collapses, and crises. After all, it humanizes the news to reflect its effect on people rather than just some numbers and acronyms with big plus and minus signs."

peefulness

noun. Like mindfulness, but, you know... It's got that puddle thing goin' on.

Real citation: "It's a real drag to take him pee in the middle of the night, but I don't want him to learn to sleep through his peefulness. That just seems like a recipe for bed-wetting later on. So far he's pretty good about waking up when he needs to pee, especially after midnight. For the first few hours after he goes to sleep he's generally too conked out to wake up, and that's when most of the peeing happens. After that he pretty much stays dry."

bandit-licious

Real citation: "i finished adamas. it’s not blocked yet, but it felt good to get it off the needles. i used my handspun fingering weight so i only needed to work 11 repeats instead of 14 before it got on my nerves. i think it’s a good-sized shawl and it’s definitely gonna be bandit-licious. (i think that’s gonna be the first, last and only time i use that word.) i love the way it striped. i tried to get the colors to match up when i plied it, but i need a true lazy kate and not the one that’s onboard my spinning wheel. it’ll give me more even tension between the bobbins and it’ll come out a bit more matched, however, singles do what they want. i think the only way for you to get long color runs is to navajo-ply. i have to practice that more. it’s essentially chained singles, but mine always look too bumpy from the chains."

adj. F-word me. F-word you? F-wordin' A!

Real citation: "Twenty F-wordtastic and bloody pages into RIGHTEOUS KILL, I couldn't stand it any longer.

Boy, was I wrong."

Made-up citation: "I've been rewatching the first season of The Wire--which is pretty damn F-wordtastic--and it's taking a toll on my already sailoresque vocabulary. If Bunk and McNulty can solve a murder using nothing but variations of fuck, then I can bake a pie the same way. USA! USA!"

de-wreckification

noun. A debris-clearing, filth-siphoning, squalor-squashing process that turns scum into soap and water into purified water, fit for a king's bidet.

Real citation: "Now, SP is starting to take root. The TLM is springing up in parish after parish, all over the world. Young seminarians and priests are very likely to be TLM-competent. The older, hostile bishops are being replaced with their more hardcore auxiliaries. Personal parishes. FSSP enrollment. De-wreckification. New hand missals. Benedictine altar arrangement. Papal Mass communion on the tongue. Chant. Things are inexorably getting better. Each day is brighter than the one before. We’re winning, and it’s a rout.

eco-fetishology

noun. Some fetishes are greener than others, and I don't mean leper-licking. I don't know what I mean, actually. I just work here.

Real citation: "The Vatican until recently was ambivalent and far too conciliatory towards Islam. Pope Benedict spoke the truth about the madness of Islam and its founder Mohammed recently, but groveled out apologies within a week, after Muslims threatened to literally kill him. Islam is not a religion. Neither is scientology, eco-fetishology, wiccan worship or druidism. The Church does not engage in inter-faith healing projects with tree worshippers yet it gets on bended knee to placate a 7th century pagan Arabian cult. It is doubtful that this will change in the near future. Regarding Islam then, the left wing socialists have a luke-warm ally in the Vatican."

NyQuil goggles

Real citation: "Also funny? How the world tends to look from a over-the-counter drug-induced haze.

Not to mention right after when we walked over to my record store at got to see how utterly surreal a Saturday afternoon looked from the POV of a paying customer."

non-crapful

adj. Look elsewhere, ye crap collectors, ye turd herders!

Real citation: "I think this kind of lesson is important for people (you know, those people, as well as the general public) to be aware of. Having done some teaching I know how frustrating it is to think 'But I said that already, like a hundred times !', but maybe it needs even more emphasis in these difficult times : Science is open to change; all that is needed is courage, insight, and something non-crapful to bring to the table."

Real citation: "If you have never read Michael Marshall’s novel, The Straw Men, your life is surely poorer for it. One of the best horror thrillers ever written, it is comprised of two seemingly separate stories: one (told in third person) about a serial killer of children, The Upright Man, and the two people pursuing him; the other (told in first person) a man’s quest to discover a secret life that his recently deceased parents kept hidden from him. The plots are complex and are expertly woven by Mr. Marshall’s terrific prose to intersect at a point of commonality: the Straw Men. It is a novel capable of blending creepy with outright terror with white-knuckle-can’t-put-it-downedness that does not lose an iota of effect even upon re-reading."

He blasts off from Mars and heads for the stars

and launches an arsenal with a maniacal laugh
Solar spiders and asteroid bats rocket through the ether
Exploding on the ThunderJeep, above and underneath her
But Astro-Creep was far from beat, though he lost his cool
He shoots back nano-slime, laser snot and even robo-drool
Down below costumed kids see aurora borealis
Unaware 'twere an omen of freakyzoidal malice"

North Methistan

noun. A land where the crystal meth flows like honey, like a Beavis and Butt-head lab made by the gods.

Real citation: " Honestly, Fran -- I really think the booze and the grass has fried your brain. You might want to clean up...go cold turkey...see if you can salvage anything. It's not too late, my son. You can still become a useful member of society. Many people in your situation go on to lead fulfilling, even productive lives. You don't want to become a one-man-band, busking on the beach at Venice for crack money. Or maybe you do...I guess that could be fun in its own way. I suppose the world needs crackheads too, just like it needs ditch diggers and garbagemen and stuff. Crack dealers are supporting their families, after all -- the vast illicit crack farms of North Methistan are a bleak place, one of the World Health Organization's hotspots...honestly, any income that makes their lives better is welcomed. So, what the hell, carry on!"

abysmalitude

noun. Not exactly what you were hoping to find in your career or frozen banana treat.

Real citation: " It really brings me down to see people who get paid to write, like Ben Lieberman, come up with titles like 'Energy Policy That Should Have Been Flushed.' It brings me down even more when those titles belong to articles that lack any interesting or relevant content. Presumably, by giving his piece such a crude and unimaginative title, Lieberman wanted to foreshadow the truly abysmal nature of this energy policy. Disappointingly, the article itself never gets around to proving that abysmality...abysmalness...abysmalitude...well, you know what I mean."

sarcasmagoric

adj. Niiiice word. Did you think of it yourself or did you have help?

Real citation: "On the otherhand, for Gnesio-Evangelicals, faith is mediated. By that I mean, faith is mediated by a promise. All the while in Christian life, it is the promise (the Gospel) that drives all of deductions in life. I see this in the case of Abraham, his faith was not immediate, rather it was mediated by a promise (see the above verse). When Abraham was being tried he had no immediate word from God saying "look, all will be ok, relax, you kill him and I will raise him from the dead, OK? Don't worry, be happy". I am being sarcasmagoric but you know what I mean."

Real citation: "Our big problem now is poop juice.

If my life were a Seinfeld episode, I would have given him away that day to prevent a future of crap-flavored doggie kisses. Since my life is actually a Shield episode, I soothed myself by foiling the police bureaucracy and instigating a gang war to protect my family."

muffinward

preposition. A delicious direction, right up there with cookieward and cupcakeward.

Real citation: "The only things that can lure me to the suburbs are sex and Dunkin' Donuts blueberry muffins, which come marbled with exquisite saturated fats like fine Kobe beef.
Sex is far less predictably appetizing, so when you're crossing the city line via surface transit for a questionable encounter with a stranger, you begin to wish you were heading muffinward instead. Nevertheless, this particular muggy June afternoon, I found myself on my way to the suburbs for the non-muffin reason, from Washington, D.C. to the cultural abyss of Rockville, Maryland. I surveyed my fellow bus passengers. Most of them gazed despondently out their windows like freshly convicted inmates being transported to a facility for long-term supervision"
