plan 9

1. Shorthand for the Bela Lugosi/Ed Wood movie that held the title "Worst of all Time", even though "Manos" was worse and "Battlefield Earth" eclipsed it.
2. The sequel to Unix. Nobody's ever heard of it, but apparently it's pretty cool.

barratry

The abuse of lawsuits and the legal system to harrass or intimidate a victim. A popular pastime in the United States.

Doonesbury

Washed-up liberal political strip that might be funny something like once a year, but really ran out of gas around 20 years ago. Long since superseded.

Crate and Barrel

A kitchen store for people who can't cook.
So I went to Crate and Barrel and got some placemats and glasses and dishes and silverware... what do you mean I need a stove too?

reinheitsgebot

A somewhat overrated Bavarian beer purity law requiring beer to be made from barley, water, hops, yeast, and nothing else. Kept southern German beer at a high standard until 1987, and still honored by German brewers today even though the EU forced its repeal, but ran lots of northern German brewers (who made funky Belgian-style beers) out of business.

fictition

An odd neologism created in an Oscar acceptance speech by Michael Moore. Backformation from "fictitious".
"Fictition"... I can't quite figure out what that one means. He obviously meant something slightly different from "fiction", but damn if I know what.
