post-traumatic cheesesteak syndrome

noun phrase. I know nothing of cheesesteaks, but a food baby may be involved.

Related terms: post-traumatic butt-viewing stress disorder, post-traumatic dating syndrome, post-traumatic red wine disorder, post-traumatic sexy caged-heat syndrome, post-traumatic stress syndromey, post-traumatic swirly disorder, post-traumatic Tony Danza Show disorder.

Real citation: "Let me add in here that it is not too long ago that I was heavily medicated for OCD, and we are sitting here with greasy steaks, fries, on a dirty stoop-- with 2 napkins to share between the three of us. 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."

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.

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."

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."

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.'"
