oscaritis

When a film director directs a film with the intention of winning an Oscar rather than making a good film.

I saw Wolf of Wall Street last weekend, and Martin Scorsese has a case of Oscaritis. The performances are painfully Oscary, and the flashy, unoriginal technique (a rip off of Scorsese's Good Fellas) was like being hit over the head with an Oscar. Definite case of advanced Oscaritis.

coal mole

fake anti-nuclear protester, who is actually a mole working for the coal industry.

Germany is now getting rid of its nuclear power plants. Throngs of young rebellious looking youth had crowded the streets, protesting in the name of "a clean earth". Who stands to fill the vacuum? Coal. Those protesters were definitely coal moles.

marriage dropping

kid

This woman squeezed past us in the supermarket, three marriage droppings trailing along behind her.

un-think tank

An organization that devises ways of consolidating power among the elite, by reducing Americans' ability to think.

All these false rumors about health care? They're turning ordinary citizens into screaming angry mobs. This is obviously the work of some sinister un-think tank.

baby backdraft

During a tantrum: the dreadful pause that follows a baby's initial scream, as it sucks back more air, to release, an even louder, longer, more ear piercing shriek.

I was just settling into my seat on the plane, when a disgruntled baby nearby let loose with a blood curdling wail. Then came the baby backdraft. It took in a huge gulp of air. I sat helplessly in that half second of calm, waiting for the deafening howl to fill the cabin.

maybe-perhaps

The most passive aggressive way of saying "no".
"Maybe" is about 40% of "yes", and "perhaps" is approx. 20% of "maybe".

person 1: Are you going to look for a job today?

person 2: Look, I just woke up and it's only 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I still need my morning coffee, so after that I'll start job hunting, maybe-perhaps.

dish douche

One who never washes the dishes, even though he or she always offers to wash the dishes. A dish douche will mysteriously disappear as soon as dinner is eaten, and return to the kitchen once the last saucer has been dried and put away.

Pete hasn't scrubbed a single plate in his life. If you added up all the unwashed dishes in this dish douche's life, you could cast a shadow over Manhattan.
