frushi

Light appetizers for breakfast or brunch made in the style of single-piece sushi, but with fruit on a bed of sweet rice rather than fish and vegetables.

"Want to split some frushi for brunch?"

tullem

A reverse mullet - business in the back, party in the front. Preferred by urban hipsters who like long shaggy bangs without uncomfortably scratchy hair on their neck.

My friend who works at the second-hand record store down the street went to Supercuts the other day and got a tullem.

fear goggles

What you're looking through the morning after you wore beer goggles and had a one night stand.

I must have been pretty drunk last night, because the girl I woke up with looked totally awful through my fear goggles.

blook

A printed compendium of a blog, available in book form.

I'm not really sure why people would buy a blook when they can just read the blogs for free.

progressive dinner

A group meal where each course is served at a different person's house or restaurant.

Last night we did a progressive dinner downtown, with appetizers at Ben Pao, salad at Weber Grill, steaks at Gibson's, and dessert at the Cheesecake Factory.

Lima syndrome

Unlike Stockholm syndrome, where hostages develop sympathy for their abductor, Lima syndrome is the result of the abductor / kidnapper sympathizing with his hostages.

Occurred in the Japanese Embassy hostage crisis of 1996, when members of a militant movement took hostage hundreds of people attending a party in the official residence of Japan's ambassador to Peru. Within a few days, they set free most of the hostages, including the most valuable ones.

In The World is Not Enough, James Bond thinks Electra King (Sophie Marceau) has Stockholm Syndrome for her kidnapper / lover Renard (Robert Carlyle). However, it turns out that Renard really had Lima Syndrome, and loved Electra deeply.
