miva

A male performer who thinks he's fantastic, but in reality is simply a legend in his own mind. There are male divas (known as divos), but they are possessed of actual, exceptional talent. There are many more mivas than divos in this world.

That guy's a true miva!

Zombie Wrangler

A production assistant on a zombie film whose primary responsibility is to keep tabs on the zombie extras. The job is similar to that of an animal wrangler on a film set. Production assistant(s) charged with this responsibility should receive specific credit as Zombie Wranglers. Zombie Wranglers have been specifically credited at the conclusion of at least one zombie film, Zombie Bloodbath (1993).

He worked as a Zombie Wrangler in that film.

crapisode

A period in a person's life during which everything seems to be going wrong, but though the individual feels plagued by a series or massing of inconvenient occurrences, they are in fact petty annoyances, which even in aggregate are far less severe than an actual tragedy, such as a terminal illness or the loss of a loved one.

I was feeling really down about all the stuff that's been happening lately, but upon reflection I realize everything's just part of a crapisode, and I've weathered those before.

geezerdom

A geezer's personal kingdom (personal world view). Rather than lamenting the infirmities and liabilities of advancing age (though not wholly denying them), the geezer revels in the psychological and even physical freedom resulting from advanced age. No need for schedules, no worries about what others think, etc. The world is the geezer's oyster--his or her geezerdom.

The old gent smiled as he considered his geezerdom.
