Brian X's definitions

ham

A species of geek that lives on the radio spectrum. Usually elderly, often cantankerous, almost always male, can probably dismantle your brand-new walkie-talkie and put it back together in working order in under an hour. Often appends an incomprehensible jumble of letters and numbers to his name (his radio call sign).

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.

malt liquor

Cheap, overly strong beer, often found in poor neighborhoods in 40 oz bottles. Can occasionally be good; usually isn't.
And then there was the guy who couldn't tell St. Ives from a Maibock... the sad part is that he had a point...

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.

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"...

SNAFU

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

Bill O'Reilly

A professional bully with an "angry regular guy" schtick employed by Fox News. His main virtue is that he actually thinks for himself, unlike many other prominent conservative personalities; unfortunately, that virtue is lost in the knee-jerk hatemongering, bullying behavior, and frequent and well-documented lying that he does.
I want to respect Bill O'Reilly, I really do, but what nice things can you say about a guy who tried to browbeat the son of a 9/11 survivor just because he was against the Iraq war?
