kamikaze

A fountain drink composed of multiple random shots of soda from a self-service soda fountain. Due to the inherently chaotic nature of the drink's creation, no two kamikaze drinks are ever the same. Also called a suicide, since you take your life in your own hands when you make this drink.

Etymology: Named after the Japanese suicide pilots of WWII.

I'm going to the 7-11 to get a kamikaze. Want to be my designated driver?

The state of being hopelessly bewildered and highly amused at the same time. Other forms include dimstisfy (v.), dimstisfying (adj.), dimstisfies (v.), dimstisfication (n.), etc.

Etymology: Derived from an Engrish business reply card from Korea, which offered three levels of "satisfaction with this product": Satisfied, Natural (Neutral) , and Dimstisfied (Dissatisfied).

Have you been out to wingmusic.co.nz? I am completely dimstisfied by that woman's voice.

Jossed

What happens when a passive-aggressive writer feels compelled to recreate his childhood bullying. Starts out by giving his audience lots of love, encourages them to believe things will turn out well, then backhands them at the end--and they inexplicably come crawling back for more.

If you watched Act III of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, you probably got Jossed.
