01er

Someone who always tries to oneup someone. Taken from the American game show The Price Is Right and the practice of bidding exactly one dollar higher than a previous bidder.

I get a hot new Mustang, and he gets one just like mine except it's a convertible. Why does he have to be such a 01er?

judicial activism

A charge made by conservative activists against liberal judges, accusing them of using their office to make laws instead of resolve disputes over laws.

The term 'judicial activist' is almost applied to liberal judges. Conservative judicial activists, on the other hand, are called 'strict constructionists'.

Hindustani

1) Of or pertaining to India, Pakistan and Bangladesh; see Desi. 2) Hindi and Urdu, when taken as a single language.

Were it not for Hindustani culture, British cuisine would be much less interesting.

Smithers

Waylon Smithers, Mr. Burns' assistant (see The Simpsons). Extremely sycophantic towards Burns despite his abuse, and obviously gay, though he never openly admits it.

My dad had this guy working at his office that was such a Waylon Smithers
