pathos

Source of the word "pathetic." An almost predetermined likelihood that events will play out in a certain way. Resistance is futile (pathetic)... the 'stupidity' of trying to change things that are obviously going to go in a certain direction.

Manfred was overcome by the pathos in Hamlet.

Jimmy saw the oil all over the road right in front of his car, so he stomped on the brakes and turned the wheel to avoid the concrete wall on the other side. How pathetic.

Put his boots on

Used to describe someone (typically a male) who has apparently completed a sexual conquest. Derived from the original Star Trek televison series in which, on several occasions, Captain Kirk obviously bedded the hot woman who is never seen again. ...Alien chick in 60s go-go/hippy fashion apparel primping while Kirk pulls his Star-Fleet-issue black leather boots on.

A smarmy, smug man walks out of bedroom at a loud party. "Observe! Manfed has just put his boots on! Matilida will be out shortly!"

dork

A person that, while bathing in a bathtub, farts and then either bites at or pops the resulting bubbles. I personally first heard this definition in the early 70s.

(bathroom door opens, howl of anguish, door slams) Mister, your wife's a DORK! I mean an ACTUAL DORK!
