Real citation: "There's exactly one dancer jittering to 'Kickstart My Heart,' and exactly one dude in attendance, sitting on a folding chair so far from the stage that we have to walk in between them to hit the bathroom.

The only upside was that the bust went down while we were in transit, so we weren't hauled away like the rest of the pathetic cubicle-dwellers. Still, the night ended at a Hooters with a bad taste in our mouths...and not the good kind of bad, either. Thanks ever so much, Tampa PD. Jackholes."

The playoff structure has changed from the championship going to the team with the best record, then to a game with just the two division winners (with play-in games for ties), and all the way up to our current 12-team 11-game formula, not even mentioning the cluster-nookie that was the 1982 strike season."

verb. Roughly equivalent to "de-Jesus-fy," but with more of a God complex involved.

* 'Nine Lives'--horrid; so weird, it's bizarre. Vignettes on 9 PMSed, interconnected women and their lives. Need I say more. Okay, Glenn Close. There, I said more.

un-CNBC-like

adj. Similar to "unladylike," but the lovely lady was replaced with a moronic financial news network. (No offense intended to Erin Burnett, my new girlfriend in my brain).

Real citation: "By now, I have noticed that I speak a different language than the people on this channel. Or maybe I'm just not as smart as they are. 'I've decided that flat is the new up,' declares one talking head. 'If they can't get their heads together, there's no way we're going to get meat on the bone,' warns another. Their braying seems to mean something to their target audience, but not to me. Even most-esteemed sage Warren Buffett wasn't immune. He spoke in an un-CNBC-like volume, but said things like, 'It's a lot better to have a goose that keeps laying eggs than a goose that just sits there and eats insurance.' Now, that is easy to understand, and probably true. Plus, can you imagine how gross that pâté would taste?"

light-as-a-feather-itude

noun. A quality I possess once a day, after taking the Browns to the Super Bowl.

Real citation: "Little Person
You've gone through life being called all manner of diminutive names, but by this point you've learned to ignore it. In fact, it's become a bit of a tradition for those around you to try to get a rise out of you. You've learned an eclectic set of skills in your strange life, although of course you have sometimes been limited by your light-as-a-feather-itude."

paleo-critter

goofulating

verb. Conduct unbecoming a pillar of the community. There could even be a comportment issue.

(April 23, 2007, Jakob Walter Uhlen, The Anthropik Network, http://anthropik.com/2007/04/ax-ishmael/)

dweebularity

noun. An essential component of dweebs, along with Lisa Simpson's discovery, the chemical Poindextrose.

Real citation: "Waldron should patent himself as a perpetual motion machine, for behold: he attracts infinite amounts of energy regardless of what amoebic pertinence his posts are made of.

(June 24, 2008, Aces High II Bulletin Board, http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php?topic=239303.30)

Made-up citation: "Does it give away my dweebularity if I admit to spending the afternoon of my birthday with cupcakes and a comic book?

collapse-alypse

noun. An unhealthy turn of events for an economy or lung.

Real citation: "Financial Collapse-alypse
I've been following the podcasts out of www.financialsense.com
for some time. I'm pretty sure Jim Puplava called everything that's going on (subprime, housing bubble, stimulus package) years ago. He's big on precious metals which I'm not sure about, but his other advice makes sense (water, oil, commodities.)"

Made-up citation: "Among mole men, a cave-in is more commonly known as a collapse-alypse. Mole-man culture is fascinating, from the delicious orphan pies to the festive spring dances with the pig-men."

supervillainistic

adj. Mwah-hah-hah-y.

Real citation: "Wanted is basically a juvenile superheroic (supervillainistic?) power fantasy for teens and 20-something hooked on comics, action movies and GTA games. Women are best advised to avoid this as the testosterone fueling the comic is in overdrive."

Made-up citation: "It wasn't easy being the most supervillainistic kid in school... Everyone else is playing video games, while I'm trying to sterilize the human race or tie a damsel to the tracks.

FWBs (followers with benefits)

noun phrase. Hmm. I may have to rethink my atheism. Anyone need a Pope?

Real citation: "I thought this show was a clever commentary on looking at the darkest, and brightest, parts of ourselves. A look at our future and our past. All this has happened before. In my head I always finished with and could happen again if we don't figure out how to stop it. But all this talk of angels and gods and visions is like spiritual technobabble but without the really useful requirements of science or logic or collective observation or even, say, a plan. I find it particularly telling the greatest scientific mind of the colonies is merely a fake religious zealot who says pretty words and has his own visions but doesn't use that amazing scientific brain to use science to help people or even to get more FWBs (followers with benefits). For me, a great show should have an organic ending. It doesn't have to be predictable, just logical. A science fiction show should use science once in a while. And a show that promises to be a mirror should actually reflect us."
