wimmickry

A portmanteau of "woke" and "gimmickry"--woke gimmickry. Trying to sell or enhance the value of something by adding an element of wokeness.

A production of the venerable musical 1776 with a cast composed entirely of female and sundry gender nonconforming actors is a perfect example of wimmickry in the arts.

pc gimmick

A marketing strategy designed to enhance the perceived worth, attractiveness or virtue of a person, product or service by pairing it with a trendy "socially conscious" movement or concept.

By claiming they only used locally grown, organic produce whenever possible, they were able to get $15.00 for two tiny, nearly tasteless vegetarian tacos. This was an example of a pc gimmick at its finest.

stooter

A small electric scooter with tiny wheels, the top speed of which is slightly faster than most people walk. This type of scooter is very popular among tourists and wannabe hipsters in urban areas. Such scooters often lack turn signals or lights, impede conventional vehicles and put the operators and others at risk. This type of scooter is a stupid scooter--hence, a "stooter".

I almost hit a guy riding one of those stooters.

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!

PPP

Pusillanimous, pandering politician--a cowardly politician whose positions and "beliefs" change by the minute in response to the group being addressed. It can also stand for Pusillanimous Pandering Politicians, the unofficial group to which the majority of politicians belong.

At noon he claimed one position in response to that question and at one he said exactly the opposite. Obviously a PPP--a member in good standing with the PPP!!
