shear stupidity

Getting an outrageously expensive haircut that ends up making you look like you got run over by a rusty lawnmower.

mobile mouth

A person who carries on cell phone conversations in public places in such a loud voice it's as if they're sure everyone just has to be interested in what they're saying.

outthereness

A condition or situation of being known for appearing in a popular television series, and when written off the show readily picked up for other parts due to one's inherent popularity.

Although the actress playing Dexter's girlfriend Rita has been eliminated from the cast of the show through her character's murder, her current outthereness will certainly facilitate her job-hunting.
