goldilocks

v. to goldilocks: to try out multiple options or variations, often without paying for any or all of them, until one finds one that is "just right"

She goldilocksed her way around the theater until she found a seat she liked.

He was so, like, goldilocksing through the pants rack and now I have to fold them all.

I've never been here before, so I'll just goldilocks until I find a sweet spot.

After all of the goldilocksing of tracks, he found his favorite song and acquired quite an eclection of music.

shallegory

a shallow allegory - especially in tv or movies - or, worse still, tv movies

a biblical reference in a sci-fi or superhero movie is a shallegory

"Oh man, Apocalypto is, like, totally shallegorical"

nanomanagement

Even more stunningly annoying and inappropriately intrusive than micromanagement.

Would you quit with the f***ing nanomanagement and just let me do my job - you seriously don't have enough to do if you have time to crawl up my a** about every little detail ... Sir.

entertainews

news reporting in a style that mimics entertainment (or sometimes sports) reporting - often involving flashy graphics, individual theme music for particular stories/topics, and a general eagerness that makes the cynic within all of us suspect that news directors secretly yearn for disasters on a grand scale* - also, news stories that are heralded by promotional soundbites earlier in a day/evening's programming that could have been quite informative but instead are frustratingly lacking in information and designed not to inform on the topic at hand but merely to tease in regard to the upcoming broadcast and, presumably, increase viewership

*this is now so prevalent that it is routinely spoofed on fake news shows and segments and the joke is quite obvious

story taglines, using election coverage as an example:
real - "Decision 2000"
spoof - "Indecision 2000"

promotional messages such as "this regular household substance could be killing you and your children - is it in your kitchen? - more at 11pm"
