askewniverse

The realm in which the flims "Clerks," "Mallrats," "Chasing Amy," "Dogma," and "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back," take place. These films were all directed by Kevin Smith and all include the characters Jay and Silent Bob, sometimes known as Bluntman and Cronic.

Dogma is my favorite movie in the askewniverse.

jerkstore

1) a fictitious retailer that sells "jerks." 2) a line that one imagines to be the perfect comeback

1) REILLY: The ocean called. They're running outta shrimp.

GEORGE: Oh yeah, Reilly? Well, the jerkstore called. They're running outta you.

REILLY: What's the difference? You're their all-time best
seller!

2)GEORGE: Don't you understand? It's not about him. To have a line as perfect as "jerkstore" and to never use it. I, I couldn't live with myself.

ELAINE: See, there are no jerkstores. It..it's just a little confusing, is all.

GEORGE: It's smart. It's a smart line, and a smart crowd will appreciate it. And, I'm not gonna dumb it down for some bonehead mass audience!

wilding

a non-word. It arose from media haze in 1989, during the "Central Park Jogger" case. It supposedly means marauding in search of ultra-violence, but the media made it sound like it was already urban slang, when it was not. The word did not exist till the jogger thing.

ANYWAY, the youths who were supposedly "wilding" were all innocent anyway. The whole thing really stank, big time.

"Wilding" is a non-word.
