Uberman

A sleep schedule in which a person sleeps 30 minutes every four to six hours. (This is actually done by some people notably university/college students with dead-end goals, self-proclaimed insomniacs, security guards at places which require little security, etc.)

"I became so addicted to coffee as a student that I'm now on Uberman - and unemployed."

portmanteau

a cliche and uncreative technique to form new words - almost anyone who can speak a language can fabricate words by butchering two perfectly good words and using cheap glue to form one ugly word

Awful portmanteau words include "brangelina", "craptacular", "adorkable" and "soquid".

geography

Knowledge of not only where places are, but why and how, as well as predicting the future of where places should be - one important example of when you'd use this knowledge is finding a good location to live, work, start your own biz, and travel based on pasts and forecasts of that location.

"So many people are mistaken with the idea that geography is a social studies class only for junior high about memorizing the outline map of the US; it's a lot more than that - just as math is a lot more than just counting up to 10."

Buridan's Ass Phenomenon

the phenomenon whereby you wish to do so many constructive things but end up not doing any of them since you can't seem to decide on which (comes from the adage of the donkey that sees two piles of food equidistant to each other but ends up starving to death because he's such an ass)

"Yeah, last summer I wanted to join a softball team, take part in a poker club, paint abstract act, design T-shirts, learn a programming language and cook exotic dishes, but the Buridan's Ass Phenomenon took into effect and I ended up doing nothing because I just had no focus. I am such an ass."

wrah

someone with an annoying laugh (onomatopoeic, "wrahahahaha")

"That wrah's gotta shut up soon, especially since he finds every damn thing so funny."

regoover

to review something again either out of idiocy or confusion; can be pronounced "re go over" or just like "re-goo-ver", with the latter being funkier

"Let's regoover Chapter 78 again for the econ exam. It would help if they put figures on pages where the actually refer to them."

"Do I have to regoover that shit to you or should I just call you retarded?"
