flip-flopping

In American politics, something Republicans accuse Democrats of doing when they're too dizzy from doing it themselves.

My fellow Americans, you know you can trust me more than that flip-flopping Democrat Clinton when I tell you this was in Iraq was about freedom, no, hold on a moment, it was about weapons of mass destruction, no, hold on, it was for democracy, no, it was about the Kurds, yeah, that was it, it was about the Kurds. Not about oil or God or any of that stuff. Excuse me, I'm off to bed now.

Satan

A man of wealth and taste. (After the Rolling Stones.) His role is much maligned. He actually keeps his minions from sticking in the pitchforks that much harder.

Satan:
Allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste.

flashback humour

Indirect breach of the fourth wall at the end of the movie "Fight Club". When the plot comes around to the opening scene again after two hours of flashback, the Narrator (Edward Norton) states he "still hasn't anything to say", and Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) refers to this as "flashback humour".

Any other definitions for flashback humour?

this is your life and it is ending one minute at a time

Catch-phrase from Chuck Palahniuk's breakthrough novel Fight Club, and the David Fincher movie based on it. This is your life and it is ending one minute at a time. Reminder of mortality, prod in the back to go out and do something with yourself.

This is your life and it is ending one minute at a time, boy.

cerebrosphere

1. The world of the human intellect, or intellectual culture globally.

2. More locally the atmosphere or ethos of a given academic institution, political movement or other environment in which people come up with and share various ideas.

The instant he walked in the gates and started talking to people he found himself relaxing once more into the cerebrosphere of Cambridge.

I haven't been in the radical feminist cerebrosphere for some time now.

Zaphod Clause

Important precondition for attaining the role of chief of the executive wing of government, not least in the United States. More or less quote/unquote, "You can't become President with an entire brain." From the movie of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Al Gore and John Kerry almost made it, but they were both scuppered by the Zaphod Clause.

domokun

Little square brown creature with a gaping toothy mouth, born in Japan. Big in Japan, too. For some reason used as a mascot (not, presumably, by the artists who made the domokun) against the perfectly natural, pleasant and healthy practice of masturbation. See also Religion.

Every time you send that fucking picture, God kills a domokun.
