Brian X's definitions

reinheitsgebot

A somewhat overrated Bavarian beer purity law requiring beer to be made from barley, water, hops, yeast, and nothing else. Kept southern German beer at a high standard until 1987, and still honored by German brewers today even though the EU forced its repeal, but ran lots of northern German brewers (who made funky Belgian-style beers) out of business.

SNAFU

Old WWII Army term. Until the recent (last ten years or so) resurgence of fubar, was the only one anyone remembered.

earworm

A song that won't go away, and gets stuck in your head. Makes you want to tear your ears out; unfortunately, deafness can't cure it because it's in there for good.
Oh, I don't know... "Seasons in the Sun", "Muskrat Love", "Lovefool"...

Al Franken

A former writer for Saturday Night Live, now better known as a liberal activist and comedy writer. Has incited the wrath of many a conservative mainly for cheerfully shoving their own slimeball tactics back in their face. Currently getting very rich off a stupid lawsuit filed by Fox News and dismissed by a very annoyed judge.
"The nice thing about Al Franken is that he doesn't take himself anywhere near as seriously as Michael Moore."

fictition

An odd neologism created in an Oscar acceptance speech by Michael Moore. Backformation from "fictitious".
"Fictition"... I can't quite figure out what that one means. He obviously meant something slightly different from "fiction", but damn if I know what.

Heavy Lourde

A Canadian 16-ton -- sorry, 14515kg -- weight.
You load sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and Homsar getting smashed. Again.
