Typo

1. The one instance of a particular word in what you've written that will bring out stampeding herds of duh-weebs to point out to you the correct spelling of the word - and a few more incorrect ways to spell it - even though every other instance of the word is spelled correctly.

2. A correctly spelled word that illiterate duh-weebs are unfamiliar with, and will mistake for misspellings of other words.

3. The reason why spell-checkers were invented.
1. "The correct spelling of yelow is yellow."

"Maybe that's why I spelled it that way the other 36 times I used that word."

2. "You left the P out of homepage."

"If I had wanted to call my homage a homepage, I would have."

3. "I spell everything correctly! I use a spell-checker!"

"Spell-checkers don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, and neither do you."

damn well please

1. What people do when they know better.

2. What a corporation or government remains free to continue to do after being convicted of criminal activity that would have been a capital offense if an individual had been convicted of it. See also committee and bureaucracy.
Due to legal doctrines such as corporate personhood, corporations and governments have more rights than people do, so they do what ever they damn well please.

diplospeak

The dialect of slang, or euphemismistic speech used by diplomats and politicians when they want to say something terrible about someone, but don't want to pay the consequences of saying such a terrible thing.
From NY Times, 10/22/05: 'Mr. Bolton, who termed Mr. Mekdad's denials "ridiculous," accused Syria of failing to cooperate with the investigators, which, he said, was "diplospeak for obstruction of justice."'

% Daily recommended allowance

An experimental 1980 dietary guide based upon the Pritikin Diet fad diet published in 1979.
% Daily recommended allowance is even worse than the Food Guide Pyramid because it promotes eating 5 out 7 servings of food in the form of carbohydrates without even suggesting that the carbohydrates should come from more than one source.
