supernatural

n. or adj. Something which, by definition, does not exist.
See also woo-woo.

greenpeace

The left-wing equivalent of the Daily Mail. Despite their occasionally making a valid point, you have to wade through a mountain of bullshit, scientific illiteracy, alarmism, and extremist lies to find it.

"Despite the fact that nuclear power allows France to have the cleanest air in the world, we at Greenpeace are against it anyway beacuse... well isn't it to do with bombs or missiles or something?"

Jingly Keys

1. A pleasing visual and acoustic distraction.
2. Therefore, metaphorically, an answer that tries to draw attention away from a difficult probing question, as if jingling some keys, especially when employed by a simple person who assumes that the questioner will be easily distracted.

1. I love the sound of jingly keys.
2. "You said last month that all Muslims should be banned from the US? Then you said you thought a Muslim was one of our finest citizens. Now you're saying the ban was a good idea again. Is this entirely consistent?"

"This is typical of people who hate America. We need strong leadership, Obama should resign."
"Nice try with the jingly keys sir, but I'd like an answer."

Fake. Used in particular by purported 'reality' television programmes to allow them to present fictional material without having to explicitly label it as such or incur regulatory liability.

diamond

n. Relatively common mineral, consisting of carbon, which is similar in appearance to zircon or cut glass. Used by the South African based De Beers company as a form of emotional blackmail through clever, original, and socially planted marketing techniques. It is asserted by the De Beers company that a man who is unwilling to waste a huge amount of money for a worthless piece of carbon must not really love his future wife very much.
