PSDD (Perrier Sipping/Swilling Debt Dodger)

A conspicuous consumer who laments he/she "can't" pay his/her student loan or utility bills while headed out for a case of bottled water, carton of smokes, concert ticket or tattoo, etc. The thought of economizing or getting a second job to pay off debt is wholly repugnant. Much more attractive options for this type of person are federally mandated loan forgiveness, Go Fund Me campaigns, or even bankruptcy.

She spendshuge amounts on designer clothes, gourmet foods, etc., then complains she can't pay her rent. She's always looking for a way to get others to pay her bills--she's a true PSDD (Perrier sipping/swilling debt dodger)!!

kitschcon

A kitschy icon; an icon of kitsch culture. Also, a convocation of kitsch enthusiasts--similar to Comicon.

Everyone is familiar with pink flamingo yard decorations. The pink flamingo is a true kitschcon, as is the Kit-Cat Klock.
I can't wait to attend the next Kitschcon--I want to get another Kit-Cat Klock!

blahversity

The result of an organization espousing diversity in hiring or enrollment, but in actuality, the only diversity they seek is pigmentation and sexual orientation/identity. Diversity in opinion, political affiliation or world view is actively discouraged, resulting in a very bland, homogeneous intellectual environment.

That university claims to be committed to diversity when recruiting new students. However, they're only interested in various skin colors and sexual orientations. They have no tolerance for any political orientation that's not wholly liberal.

That's not diversity, that's blahversity.

pina cocola

A delicious, refreshing no nalcoholic drink made by combining Coca Cola (or Diet Coke) with non alcoholic pina colada mix--proportions are a matter of individual taste.

On a hot day, a pina cocola is a delicious, refreshing pick me up!!

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.
