fair weather capitalists

Those bunch of socialist and communist types who are OK with CEO's receiving multi-million-dollar severance packages plus bonuses when times are good, but who whine, complain and carry on and on when tha same things go on during bad times.

We are being inudated with fair weather capitalists in a snit over this AIG bonuses affair!

China fast

Deemed fast compared to China's famously higher internet speed.

Kudos to this company's China fast turnaround in my order!

wins

What your machine or gadget does when it breaks down and quits on you.

Well, the transmission's shot, or the head is blown, or it wouldn't start this morning. My car wins! And I lose in this old time-money-inconvenience round. That temperamental, or worse, heap of lemon! You win if you nip the sucker in the bud with a minimum of drama.

brainer

Not a no-brainer.

His video timer is such a brainer that he is leaving it flashing at 12:00 AM.

indoor bullstuff

1. Movie deemed too highfalutin, sophisticated or stuffy to be the right fit in drive-in theaters.
2. Wimpy cigarette lighter that won't fire in even the slightest hurricane.

I have to flick my indoor bullstuff illegally in the doorway before I can take my smoke outside.

stereoist

Music collector determined to keep his playlist all true stereo, as much as available, not letting that 1 or 2 songs go as mono or "underwater" stereo when they are indeed available in true stereo.

As a stereoist, I go to great lengths to keep my playlist all true stereo, even if I have to search for & buy extra music & cover accordingly what it takes to keep it pure.
