Real citation: "I didn't realize that these were not your run-of-the-mill tummy tucking and thigh smoothing hose until I broke them out on Sunday. As I struggled mightily to get the hose ON my body without poking a fingernail through them, I realized that something was amiss--there was a strangely tight-feeling band located across my butt. I checked myself in the mirror and noted a two inch wide spandex band running across the back of the pantyhose. What strange device was this? From its current location, it was producing a double-butt effect that was bizarre, to say the least. Butt to the top, butt to the bottom, line of elastic bisecting the two: red butt, blue butt, in a way. Then I realized the spandexical elastical doohickey was meant to reside UNDER the cheekal area, in order to lift and separate. Oh goodie. Now I could have Shelf Booty! With kung fu grip! After another five minutes of struggling, realigning and tucking, everything was in its proper place and I was thanking the deodorant gods that I had chosen the Heavy Duty variety of Secret Solid."

He cut taxes during a costly war and made serious debtors of our grandchildren and he has ignored the future as if it doesn't exist. He is now about as popular as wet socks and deservedly so. And here were the people who spawned him and we got along pretty well."

little-finger-ageddon

noun. A little less code-orange-y than armageddon.

Real citation: "Also! C-sections make me barf, too! I am now an Old Pro, so I go in and I say to Fred (I’m on a first-name basis with the anesthesiologist), “Fred. Do not let me barf.” And he says, “I will not let you barf,” and he pats his jacket pocket where he has put several pre-loaded syringes of anti-barf. And then when I feel the first tinges of nausea, I say, “Debarfify me!” and he does. Last time, I did not even barf! Or gag! Except one little gag when I waited too long to tell him I was getting queasy. This is in sharp contrast to my first two c-sections, where I barfed all the way through the procedure and for hours and hours afterwards. Which makes for such pretty photos."

momsploitation

noun. Mommy.... Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Real citation: "Where Aaron Young is somehow conceptually absent from his work, Melee is unavoidably present and fully displayed. His installation is probably the only thing in the show that would have raised eyebrows in the Giuliani Administration, and it's also the point in Greater New York where art viewing and making comes closest to trauma. It's not that the pervy momsploitation isn't studied-the aspect of self-aware, gleeful performance is always palpable in the videos-it's that for all the bourgeoisie-baiting involved, Robert Melee's High Life is an installation that deals with real fucked-upness, latent dread behind the campy shocks, and art as a way to process pain into something that's at least horrifying rather than horrible. In the context of Greater New York, that level of unmodulated, unstable content was bracing"

But that one little detail (It's right there in the spelling of the word!

The guy printing them was an early twenty-something drummer from a semi-hot stuff local band who everyone pees their pants over and I'm not sure why. He's the only non-snotwad from the band and he did a great job and printed them on the spot. I don't have the heart to tell him his band kinda sucks and that he's really the only good thing they have going for them. That, and their homemade dinosaur heads that are sorta played out anyway. I hope he goes on to bigger and better things because his band mates, well, I sort of see becoming characters from 'Requeim For a Dream' when they realize they were big guppies in a little clear mug."

None of this matters now because we have the beloved Philly cheese steak in hand, and we have the battle wounds to prove it. The anticipation is too much to handle and we bite in with such abandon . . .only to find . . . it's a cheese steak. . . Nothing special .. .after all that we'd had such high expectations and were quite disappointed. The fries were cold, the steak was greasy, and all together a waste of a few million calories. So there you have it. Between the yelling, the dirty eating accommodations, the million calories, and disappointing finish, you can see why I have affectionately called this Post traumatic cheese steak syndrome."

chicken-gasm

noun. Colonel Sanders! You touch me like you know me.

Real citation: "I love you, you are my hero. But only under the condition that your soulful outburst of appreciation and enthusiasm for that chicken, a.k.a. 'chicken-gasm' was of a genuine, non-scripted nature. Chances are being that it's a Mac-Donalds commercial, the outburst was pre-meditated in some way shape or form. Alas, you likes your chicken and aren't afraid to tell the world, and that's admirable."

un-Palinated

adj. A word that does not apply to current conditions.

Real citation: "Somewhat reassuringly, an immersion in today’s chilly e-bathwater suggests that I am far from alone in finding almost intolerable the latest attempt to suggest that a politician who speaks in a vacant, incomprehensible patois is a flag-bearer for authenticity, readiness, sagacity.
All this has me looking backward to last spring, lovely for its pristinely un-Palinated landscape, when I made my first post for this page. "

co-whacko

Real citation: "There, we have a black Muslim with ties to Louis Farrakhan (though not for many, many years, apparently) and in the district next door, we have Michelle Bachman - an ultra-right wing GOP, uber-Christian, hyper-partisan, lunatic fringe member in good standing. Congresswoman Bachman can be counted on to contribute her ideas to Congress. She is obsessed with gays - claims that she was attacked by two lesbians at one of her rallies. She repeatedly introduces legislation to require the teaching of creationism in schools. I'm happy to say we re-defeated her co-whacko, Carla Nelson, by a couple hundred votes."

Real citation: "These robots could be used to take samples from different areas, diagnose latent diseases and even cure conditions such as hypothyroidism and diabetes (the pseudo-robo-sperm swim around checking your blood sugar level, if it gets too high then they excrete insulin through mini pumps; I’m assuming there’ll also be a way to replenish the supply of insulin)."

edgier-than-thouness

noun. An annoying quality that's about as truly edgy as an egg.

Real citation: "I totally agree. Dexter got involved with Rita to appear normal, not because he was attracted to her or found her interesting in any real way. She's his beard. He is Plastic Dexter with her. I am still attached to the notion that Dexter is a sociopath who doesn't have feelings so I don't think what some could interpret as him developing feelings for her and the kids is more than a convenient, not unpleasant habit for him. While Lila may be irritating with her edgier-than-thouness Dexter is attracted to her. The fire. The darkness. Whatever it is. And there is so much intimacy between them - tip of my hat to MCH - that just doesn't exist with he and Rita."

Cubpocalypse

noun. A terrifying event that threatens to plunge my lovely north Chicago neighborhood into an unthinkable vat of misery... A brain-melting, soul-sucking, pee-scented, 100-year-old vat of misery.

Real citation: "So, this would be the portion of our program where you'd expect me to rip Zambrano for being a lot of talk and a lot of emotion but not anywhere close to clutch for a team that appears more deserving of a World Series berth than ever if it can get its self-inflicted highest-paid pitcher to pitch like a highly paid pitcher. Yes, this would be the time you'd expect me to point out how so many observers have yakked about Zambrano's arm angle and reduced velocity and dental hygiene, and talk like it's Cubpocalypse Now."

durificatrix

noun. A real stiffener.

Real citation: "We even found ourselves coining English words based on what we knew of Latin words and their patterns. Since we were adolescents, a lot of this coining was sexual or obscene in nature. I recall how we used the Latin term clunes (the buttocks) to create a Neo-Latin adjective clunalis, which we decided meant 'pertaining to the buttocks.' From there it was an easy step to invent the English derivative clunal, which we then started using as a pejorative for anything we didn’t like, or thought inferior. 'Man, that’s so clunal,' we’d say if something bothered us. My oversexed pal Vinnie invented the term durificatrix, which if it actually existed in Latin would mean 'woman who makes hard.' He’d employ it when discussing certain girls we knew. Vinnie would say 'You know, guys, that little cutie in the Registrar’s office is one real durificatrix.'"
