annus horribilis

From Latin; literally "a horrible year." A year in which practically everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. The opposite of annus mirabilis.

From the death of David Bowie to the election of Donald Trump, 2016 was a perfect example of an annus horribilis

AI-zheimers

When the AI (artificial intelligence) in your phone starts to forget things.

"Siri, call my mom."
"Who? I'm sorry - what? I don't think I know the number..."
"Oh my God, are you getting AI-zheimers or what?"

Tae Bong Do

The art of inhaling large amounts of fumes from burning cannabis leaves. Mastering this art requires hours of assiduous practice.

"I don't wanna say that Ted smokes a lot of weed, but he's got a black belt in Tae Bong Do, y'know what I'm saying?"

Phone afterglow

What follows a satisfying session of phone sex

Despite being thousands of miles apart, Sam and Jo treasured the time they spent in phone afterglow, gazing into their screens as though they were face to face.

Katrinkets

1. High-ticket items bought with insurance money following the Hurricane Katrina disaster. "Those indulgences you decided you were going to treat yourself to, even if you didn't have a house anymore." (Ronette King, New Orleans Times-Picayune, 5/27/2007)

2. Items found by volunteers during Hurricane Katrina cleanup efforts, that couldn't be returned to their original owners, and were saved as souvenirs.

3. Jewelry or other items made to memorialize the Hurricane Katrina disaster, sold as souvenirs.

1. "The plasma TV? Yeah, that's one of my Katrinkets."

2. Betty had a muddy Barbie doll on her shelf - a Katrinket from the time her church group went to New Orleans to help rebuild some houses.

3. "I went to a street fair when we were in New Orleans - I mut have bought about a dozen Katrinkets."
