The Nelson Bird

Alternate name for the black-capped chickadee. Named after Nelson Muntz, the bully on the Simpsons with the lackadasical and mocking laugh: "Ha-ha." The black-capped chickadee has two songs, the familiar 'chick-a-dee-dee-dee!' and a song that sounds like Nelson's 'Ha-ha." laugh. Listen here: http://www.learnbirdsongs.com/birdsong.php?id=12

Chris: Hey! That bird sounds just like Nelson on the Simpsons!
Mary: Yeah, that's The Nelson Bird! I think it's real name is the chickadee.

liral

When someone stages a funny or embarrassing moment caught on video with the hope of it going viral. A portmanteau, or mash-up of lie and viral: a viral lie. A staged viral moment.

That latest video of someone fainting during a proposal was so obviously staged, it's liral, not viral! lol

Recessionista

A person who evokes being affected by the recession because it's the 'in' thing to do, especially if they have no real need to. They may even pay more for the privilege of having just the right down-market accessories or habits. (Reference the evolution of the hipster.)

We're going to Mel's Diner tonight. The decor's a little shabby, you know with the recession and all, but they have the most fabulous oysters served in replica sardine tins.

Keira Knightly is such a recessionista -- check out this story about her renting shoes! http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2009/03/25/keira_knightley_saves_money_buy_renting_

When someone kills and then uses an insanity defence.

Mayuko: Did you hear about the Tampa mom who shot her teenage kids for being mouthy?
Phil: What the?
Mayuko: Yeah she said that she snapped but it turns out she had it all planned.
Phil: Good luck using the premedicated murder defence.

Noriko: That Greyhound bus beheading guy was totally crazy don't you think?
Paul: Yeah, premedicated murder for sure.
