Backhanded Insult

A compliment couched in the form or tone of an insult. Often used by people who *want* to be nice, but fear being seen as weak or disingenuous, but can be unintentional.

When Maurice told Mary she was "the least photogenic pretty chick" he'd ever seen, he meant that pictures didn't do her beauty justice, but it came off as a backhanded insult.

Jewtaku

Goyim with a fetish for Jewish people and/or Judaica. Derived from the English appropriation of the Japanese word otaku.

"Jewish" is itself a highly contested term, so someone you view as a Jewtaku may actually self-identify as Jewish.

Not to be confused with a Jewish otaku (aka a jewbaka).

VIE: Elvis was a Jewtaku 'cause he used to wear a chai necklace.
ELI: His mother's mother's mother was Jewish.
VIE: I stand corrected -- Mitochondrial DNA FTW!

slow your blogroll

What you tell someone to do when that person is spending too much time online.

A combination of the word blogroll and the phrase slow your roll.

bonadroit

Skillful and/or clever Ҁ” i.e. the opposite of maladroit. Although it denotes the same characteristics as adroit, it has the added value of making its user appear even more pompous. Humorously ironical employment is possible, iff the speaker's swagger was phenomenal.

Nobody who was socially bonadroit would actually use the word "bonadroit," as it just confuses people.

Pathection

The purest, Plantonic manifestation of being pathetic.

Douglas achieved pathection by choosing to "Reply-All" because he didn't realize most of the recipients wouldn't care about him.

Paradour

Someone you like but don't like-like. A pun on paramour and adore. Rarely reciprocal, because what really is in this crazy, mixed-up world?

After she broke up with him, Guillermo couldn't help but become Leah's paradour, but she had hurt him too much for them to ever get back together.
