nannarchy

A combination nanny state and anarchy: A government that cracks down on trivial everyday things while letting actual criminals run rampant, failing to prosecute serious crimes. Example: San Francisco 2020 under DA Chesa Boudin.

John was caught breaking into fifty cars, dealing crack to kids, and stabbing a cop. The San Francisco DA let him off with $1 bail for these silly but harmless shenanigans. But then they caught him drinking through a plastic straw rather than a compostable one while celebrating his release, and sentenced him to 20 years in maximum security prison for committing such a serious felony. Just another victim of the nannarchy...

DBAG

An abbreviation for Deutsche Bank AG, a German bank. The bank does not resent being called this - they actually use it in their official legal documents.

Paul: "Remember that German guy Wolfgang Schneidelberger from college?"
Ted: "Yeah, that guy really thought he was the cat's pajamas. What a Deutsche bag. What is that guy up to nowadays?"
Paul: "I heard he just got a job at Deutsche Bank selling subprime mortgage bonds to poor towns in third-world countries that don't know any better."
Ted: "So he's at DBAG, is he? Why am I not surprised?"

manel

A conference panel where the speakers are all male. The term is used by feminists to shame people who don't practice gender inclusivity.

Can you believe there wasn't a single woman on the panel - I mean manel - at the "Firsthand experiences with erectile dysfunction" talk? What an outrage!

water-

A prefix analogous to the suffix -gate, denoting a scandal. Derived from the Watergate scandal.

Investigator 1: "Heavens to Betsy!"
Investigator 2: "You didn't seriously just say that. What is it?"
Investigator 1: "From the looks of these financial records, it looks like the mayor embezzled some of the federal grant money he received to build that water gate to protect the town from floods."
Investigator 2: "Really? Well I'll be a monkey's uncle - you're right!"
Investigator 1: "What to call this scandal...I've got it! Because it's a scandal involving a gate, we can add the prefix 'water-' and call it watergate!"
Investigator 2: "No, that's already taken. I think it would be better, since it's a scandal involving water, to add the suffix '-gate' and call it watergate! No, wait, never mind, that's the same thing."
Investigator 1: "Since it's a scandal involving a water gate, let's add the prefix 'water-' and the suffix '-gate' and call it waterwatergategate!"
Investigator 2: "Brilliant! Just rolls right off the tongue."
