Presidente Por Supuesto

Barak Obama. Literally, President Of Course. A very loose Spanish translation of President Yes We Can. While nowhere close to being an accurate translation, it does convey a sense of that positive can-do attitude of the 44th president of the United States of America and it's fun to say.

If anyone can get single-payer passed it's Presidente Por Supuesto, the 44th president of the United States.

emotional affair

A pop psychology term which instills a sense of impropriety when describing Platonic and courtly love (and other forms of intimate non-sexual association). Since the relationships it defines are by definition chaste, its use is misleading and is often used manipulatively.

You call it coffee with a college professor, I call it an emotional affair.

Rising above Phuket

Transcending the madness of day-to-day existence with the spiritual equipoise of a buddha. From the headline: World's Largest Buddha Rises Above Phuket.

"I'd like to recommend Johnson for the project, since it is fraught with organizational difficulty, and he is constantly rising above Phuket ."

salmon run loop

The perception that (despite much effort) no progress is actually being made as one attempts to struggle forward with one's life. From salmon run + (tape or film) loop; combining the difficultly encountered by salmon as they head upstream to spawn and the endless repetition of a film or tape loop.

Every month it was the same thing: a salmon run loop of cutting back on everything in order to keep up with the spiraling interest on the family's credit cards.

Harry Potter rich

The dream many writers have of becoming wealthy from their writings. From the success of the Harry Potter novels by author J.K. Rowling.

Sure, Papa wrote about the downtrodden in his books and received critical acclaim, but his real desire was to become Harry Potter rich.
