earlybirditude

the (often annoying to others who don't share it) overly happy attitude of early birders - often associated with a great eagerness to call 7am committee meetings and to embark on sales-related shopping trips that mimic dawn raids on enemy encampments

"it's his earlybirditude i can't stand - he doesn't seem to realize that if i'm awake at 6am it's because i'm still up from the day before, not because i had a sudden urge to go running"

"only the most manic earlybirditude could make the shopping mall seem appealing the morning after thanksgiving"

Sandwista

n. a person employed to make sandwiches - derived from a combination of sandwich and barista

alt. sandwichista

I was explaining my topping choices when the sandwista suddenly sneezed into the bell peppers.

That was the greatest sandwich ever, I'm totally going to keep an eye out for the same sandwichista the next time I buy one.

perceived coolness whore

The annoying individual who claims to be interested or expert in almost any topic that anybody else in a group refers to as cool, often to the extent that their involvement in so many activities and interests, or in a more oscure pursuit or fetish, may seem dubious.

"Hangliding looks cool" eliciting the response "Oh, I LOVE to hanglide, I'm an experienced hangliderist!"

or

"I have a friend who is into CBT" followed by "Ooo, CBT is the coolest - I do it all the time!" leading the original speaker to ask the perceived coolness whore to define CBT in semi-polite company.

At their worst, a perceived coolness whore might stumble, late, into a conversation about female contraceptives or male pattern baldness and, upon hearing a prescription drug name, will claim to have once done lines of the afore-mentioned drug off the back of a hooker at a Hollywood party.

Radical Democracy

Wherein you claim to want others to have so much freedom and choice that you force it upon them at the point of a rifle or tank barrel whether they want it or not. Thus also ensuring that their "choices" are the same as yours (you wouldn't want any pesky surprise outcomes after all).

We liberated the country and through radical democracy we installed a new (temporary) government that at least some of the population have heard of and at least some even voted for.

Radical democracy, for when you don't like the outcomes of traditional democracy.
