google-eyed

In the days prior to a certain search-engine's rise to fame, thereby distorting the original meaning, the term "google-eyed" referred to a certain odd and slightly humorous appearance or expression in someone's eyes. Whether the person was slightly cross-eyed, cockeyed, or had a lazy eye, or simply postured their eyes in an odd way during an expression, they were "google-eyed."

In newer post-google.com use, it probably refers to someone who has spent far too many hours "googling" or web-searching for something and reading too many webpages.

Him - "Hey you're pretty cute!"

Her blushing and slightly google-eyed.

Taliban Roadrunner

1) Someone who drives like a total asshole.

2) Someone who drives like a Taliban Suicide Bomber on a mission, with no regard for courtesy, safety or for others.

Man, I nearly got taken out in the parking lot by some Taliban Roadrunner who came flying down the lane doing 35mph, and had the nerve to honk at me as he blasted past, swerved and nearly hit some kid. No regrets on his part.

tearjerk

An act of manipulative or false-emotion put on in order to achieve the desired reaction from others, usually sympathy.

Unlike its near-opposite, a kneejerk, which is a re-action to an action, the tearjerk is an initiated action in itself.

Hitlary sure put on that tearjerk act for the New Hampshire Primary Elections, just when everyone said she was seen as lacking emotion.

apeshit-crazy

The kind of anxiety usually expressed by the physical or mental desire to jump up and down, screaming and banging hands on chest or head on walls.

Pre-dates the shortened but now more common variant "apeshit."

My roommate just deposited my mail at the bank and dropped my bank-deposit in the post-office box, for the third time! I'm going apeshit-crazy!

e-rage

The type of internet-war between individuals which grows out of quickly-written emails containing statements that may be easily misunderstood or mis-taken by the recepient, and grows through retaliatory responses into massive proportions.

Since email is unable to convey facial-expressions, unable to fully-convey emotive states or the status of the writer (ie tired, sick, depressed), is not interactive face-to-face dialog, and tends to be hastily-written, these misunderstandings via email are frequently based entirely upon mis-communication rather than truthful intent.

Term coined by Louise Doncaster circa 2003.

Person #1 states how they were ripped off by a third-party. Person #2 replies, "oh well that's what you get," meaning that's what you get when you deal with people like the third-party. Person #1 misunderstands the statement to mean that they deserved to be ripped off, or that Person #2 is flipping them off about their upset feelings of being ripped-off.
