wolfgang shmuck

Someone who doesn't know how to cook.

A Wolfgang Shmuck knows how to cook a pizza in a toaster over, but not much more. Even if you remember to curl your fingers in a high and tight pinch on the food when using a sharp knife, it's still a challenge to boil water or make toast.

promoticon

A combination of "emoticon" and "promote." Describes being "promoted" by an important person in your life by getting emoticons from them in their texts and emails to you. In other words, you've been elevated from the lowly category of professional contact, acquaintance, or casual friend into their inner circle, where they feel comfortable enough with you to use emoticons. Not to be confused with demoticon.

I just got promoticon'd by Sarah. Schwing!

Bampers

Combination of "business" and "Pampers," describing diapers for business people — used when time is money and even a trip to the bathroom will slow you down.

Burning the midnight oil again, Steve?

Yeah, good thing I've got my Bampers on. I'm so much more efficient.

casebook stalking

Like Facebook stalking, but it's when a law professor calls up parties to a law suit years after the fact to find out more about the circumstances of a case.

Did you catch how our professor was totally casebook stalking the plaintiff? The case was over like 30 years ago. I'm amazed that she managed to actually find his contact info.

braking in period

Combination of "braking" (i.e., related to a car's brakes) and "breaking in period," describing the time it takes to adjust your foot to the sensitivity of the brakes of a car that you don't regularly drive, such as a friend's car, your spouse's car, or a rental car. At first, the brakes are either too sensitive, which causes you to slam down the breaks and jerk to a stop, or, too firm and require you to push down harder with your foot than you are used to.

I hope I get over the braking in period soon because I'm driving like a 9 year old right now.
