anthro-weirdo

noun. An enthusiastic collector of anthro-whatsits.

Real citation: "There was something the Doctor once said about discussions that made a deep impression on me many years ago. The huge body of lectures and books by this man can easily give anyone an overdose and turn the person into an anthro-nut, an anthro-weirdo, or an anthro-fundy, but one picks up along the way certain profound thoughts and principles and ideas that resonate well with one's own soul, then anthroposophy can be a very progressive and healthy resource for an individual, regardless of how another party may decide to judge the inner life of that individual, especially when such judgements are solely based upon statements typed in public forums on a given subject."
(Nov. 20, 2008, Anthroposophy Tomorrow,
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/anthroposophy_tomorrow/message/38551)

Made-up citation: "I hate when pundits act like anthro-weirdos and robo-weirdos are exactly the same. That's like saying toast is like a pancake, or children are people too..."

snowpoca-geddon

noun. I just call it Buffalo, NY.

Real citation: "Snowpoca-geddon
It's official; Seattle has become Minnesota:
That's the coldest temperature I've ever been in, by the way. I've been in 9 degrees weather twice, once in Texas and once in Seattle, but this is the first time I've seen 8 degrees.
My f-list is full of the words 'snowpocalypse' and 'snowmageddon,' so I know we're not the only part of the country experiencing extreme weather."

thinga-longwordsomethingortheother-majiggy

Real citation: "'The problem with Africa is,' he paused, as if he was going to tell me something really important, or confidential, or novel, or dramatic, or all of the above, 'that we do not have an identity. What we had was overwritten, palimpsest, by various other cultures, identities and outlooks. We were also traumatised, by the processes of colonisation, decolonisation and the failures of the newly independent state that all we see is the floccinaucinihilipilification of our character.' What did you say? I wanted to ask. But then, if he wanted to talk to me he would have talked to me in simple terms. As it stood, he was talking to himself including addressing himself with this thinga-longwordsomethingortheother-majiggy. I thought of cutting his head off, putting it a blender so that I cut all his words to manageable, if not rational, proportions. 'We hear of "An African solution to an African problem", but how many of the problems have we solved? You can't solve a problem if you are the problem. That demands very serious introspection and self conquest, something we do not have both the intention and the capacity of doing.' "

essay-pionage

noun. This essay is a double-agent! Also, it sucks. Two crimes against humanity! Where's my red pen and waterboarding equipment?

Real citation: "The last few days have been goodish, actually. After all the finals panic, I did suprisingly well on my japanese test, and with a few hours to kill before the bike shop opened (I had to buy an adapter for my tires), I went to the library's new books area, and actually, checked out new books--Paul Celan: Selections and some blackwell anthology on epistemology with essays by a whole bunch of professors that I'm going to, eventually, meet over the course of my grad school visits. (call it essay-pionage...or not). I took and nap which seemed like it lasted all last night, and even made a livejournal post appologizing for skipping the party at Stephanie and Jessie's only to realize that it was 10:00 at night (after I made breakfast and got dressed for church). When I saw a party going on next door, I realized the error of my ways, deleted the post, and sat around for another half-hour, reading, before I decided to go the party. I was a bit of a grouch there, I think, but it's nice to go out and remember that you know people."
(May 8, 2005, Livejournal, http://bioproject.livejournal.com/275378.html)

Made-up citation: "I've committed essay-pionage before... An editor thinks I've written a trenchant article on the state of the wine bar and what it means for American culture. In reality, I've written a secret Satanic prayer--to Satan!"

diddly-bleeping-squat

noun. On a scale of zero to zilch, this would be there.

Real citation: "If it's _legal_ for our Administration to use Son Of Carnivore and the Patriot Act to monitor U.S. citizen's telecomms, it should be legal to SHUT DOWN the Iraqi cell networks and make possession of RF transmission devices also a bullet-in-ear death penalty condition. Even so, in terms of Jammers, what they are talking about is the equivalent of Shortstop mortar fuze spoofers for cell and remote firing mechanisms and I _doubt seriously_ if they have enough ERPS or area of effect to do diddly bleeping squat to the F-22's 'sigint collection suite'. Because they aren't doing diddly squat to the Iraqi's telecomms. And because, if it's all like previous generations, the ALR-94 is in fact operating in the 4-5 to 20GHZ FIRE CONTROL bands /well beyond/ the radio and cell networks operating at 750MHz to 2GHz range. Certainly comparing these devices (later in the article) to Carrier Deck environments filled with MEGAWATTS of ATC, INS alignment, ACLS, and radio test is ludicrous."

Made-up citation: "In the winter, my dog spends somewhere between three minutes and diddly-bleeping-squat seconds outside. He is that fast at dropping a deuce and watering the grass. So where's his Golden Globe award, huh?"

henchblob

noun. An underling who could charitably be described as non-svelte.

Related terms: henchboobs, hench-bunny-men, henchchicken, hench-commissioner, henchdoofus, henchdork, henchgoon, henchmoron, henchnoncorporeal being, hench-poodle, henchscum, henchzombie, underhenchling.

Real citation: "You never fight the god, just go inside and pilfer all the treasure and fight battles. It's examples such as these that take well-worn clichés - such as the RPG blob or bat, skeleton, etc and make that cliché into something fresh and interesting. Not to mention extremely silly. I mean there are conversations you have with the blob 'heavies' - yes tough guy mini-boss blobs who threaten to do you in. The whole scenario is just hilarious, as all the enemies inside the giant blob are laughably weak. Just imagine a three year old threatening to beat you up - would you feel scared? And so it is with the blob henchmen, or henchblobs."
(July 7, 2006, Buttonhole, http://www.buttonhole.com.au/review/id/541.html)

Made-up citation: "I have a surefire solution to awkward social solutions: a crack squadron of henchblobs. You'd be surprised how easily social anxiety is forgotten when you're fighting for your life against amorphous, 2000-pound monsters. It really takes the edge off."

phlegmocracy

noun. Rule by coughHACKgak! Excuse me... What were we talking about?

Real citation: "As time passes me by, I guess these new catchphrases do too. I remember it was 'tolerance' for a while. 'Coexistence' must be the new 'word' for the 'new generation' according to those companies that define 'new generations' run by people whose business it is to think up 'words' that coincide with 'generations' they are not a part of. I always thought I would be good at something like this, maybe even revolutionary, with words like parahabitation or phlegmocracy. 'Coexistence' is something your mom would say to insinuate who to hang out with at school and who to, well, 'coexist' with."

frizzle-frizzledness

noun. A substantially less stressful quality than frizzle-frazzledness, I reckon.

Real citation: "Tonight the temps are dropping down into the low 30s, and it's supposed to get a bit cooler than that over the weekend. I had to move Tiny Tim's "sweater" up the priority list. When I was in town last weekend, I picked up a yard of brown fleece. Couldn't beat the price at less than $3/yard! Just right for chicken outerwear.

warlorditude

noun. A quality found in only a few rare hamsters.

Real citation: "Isn't 'spent some time in an army' a pretty standard background for fighters and warlords? Is your objection that studying magic and going to war is too much? Make the character a fighter[warlord] or something, then - the point is that multiclassing into warlord won't provide you with one of the basic aspects of warlorditude until you can swap a power too."
(May 2, 2008, RPGnet Forums, http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=392222&page=27)

quasi-sorta-medieval-ish

adj. When used in the expression "I'm gonna go quasi-sorta-medieval-ish on your ass!", even squirrels and bunnies won't flee.

Real citation: "On a personal note, since I haven't talked to you ingame about it Rae, it'll be a very tough time convincing Kaeriel to care one way or another about the Sun'S Warmth enough to take that degree of action. He (and kind of myself OOC) sees them as kind of silly and harmless, and especially in a quasi-sorta-medieval-ish fantasy setting, the escort or prostitute is just kind of a thing that exists and will continue to do so, organized or otherwise."

Real citation: "I haven't been inside a WalMart since July 24, 2002, but it sounds like the same managers are there who caused me to cease giving them my custom.

(Typical example: the WWE action figures.) Non-caucasian dolls are desperatingly rare: 'African' and other ethnic Barbies usually are just made in a different color, there are practically no chinese, hindu, african, middle-eastern, eskimo, etc. characters that look half-decently realistic. Oh, and what's with the 'Tomb Raider' mega-boobies syndrome? My Resident Evil Ada Wong (came with an amazing plant creature) has bosoms as big as her cranium. Each."

We believe that this is a fair formula, yet one complicated enough for Management to continue to find ways to exercise their cheating rights."

Real citation: "The network gods must be crazy. And clearly, not all of the carnage can be blamed on the writers' strike, despite the relentless attempts by industry executives to do so. Yes, the strike delayed some of our favorite series -- 'The Shield' and '24,' for example -- but many more shows stumbled and fell on their faces after reasonably promising first seasons. 'Lipstick Jungle' and 'Pushing Daisies' were pulled this fall due to story lines that felt repetitive within weeks of their premieres and, not surprisingly, failed to pull in interested viewers over the long haul. Meanwhile, shows like Showtime's 'Californication,' HBO's 'Entourage' and 'The Life and Times of Tim,' and FX's 'Testees' sallied forth clumsily like unholy zombies, defining a whole new subgenre: the plotless, joke-free, cringe-inducing, testosto-moronic half-hour cable tragicomedy."

Real citation: "Well, why don't I start by saying what's wrong with Halloween? I'm such a pessimist! Everything of life is wrong. No questions asked.
skenk.
1) The obvious-tacular-ish one: SAFETY!
No, I am not talking about the whole "syringe-in-the-bag-of-chips/poisoned-apple" thing. I mean RAPE. There are a lot of rapists out there, especially in MY community (lawl@that) and child predators and whatnot. And on occasion the person you/your child is taking candy from IS a rapist!! GASP. And if you're one of those parents on crack-cocaine, then you MIGGGHHHT not know WHAT your child is dressed up as. So here is a fun little scenario I'm throwing together as it forms in my head.
Child dressed as a ghost goes up to rapist's house. Rapist kidnaps child, escapes to mexico. The parent on crack-cocaine can obv describe the child... but then they'll be all 'zomg I don't know what costume it was wearing'. Then the child floats up dead on your local beach/your well.
That's why Halloween is not safe.

And his comportment of himself at the end of the piece, though ogreish, is really no surprise. This particular lack of character range serves to magnify the propaganda aspect of the venture when that aspect (propaganda) needs must be almost seamlessly and transparently embedded in a work in order for it to transcend that pejorative label."
