403. recipriversexcluson
A fundamental concept of Bistromathematics, as described in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, "a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself". Similar to, and easily confused with the related principle by which knowing that the answer is 42 precludes knowing the question.
42 is not a recipriversexcluson, because it really is the location of Stavromula Beta. What is precluded about 42 is knowing that Stavromula Beta is the question.

Yes, I am allowed to say so. In fact it's a necessity, because every publication of Hitchhiker is required, by yet another similarly related principle, to contradict all previous publications of it.
402. Viking Kittens
The bootleg Flash music video that launched an entire genre of music videos in 2002, in which amateurish animations were set to music, in this case Led Zep's Immigrant Song.

Although the original Viking Kittens video mysteriously disappeared from Rathergood.com, it's still available on other sites. It's also available as a screensaver on some P2P networks.
If no one forwarded you a link to Viking Kittens or My Baby Donkey aka She's got a Chicken to Ride in 2002, you simply weren't online.
401. amoeba
A very small person with an oversized opinion of himself.
Lookit the amoeba having a cell faux to pretend someone wants to talk to him. It's a real cell phone call.
400. cell phone
Cellular communication; how an amoeba communicates. You know; amoebae, like really, really small people.
Hey, lookit the cell phone under this microscope!

Of course it is! Can't you see that the one amoeba's phoning another one?

Of course his phone is cellular. What other kind would an amoeba have?

(If you're saying this out loud, it would be good to duck now and then, in case someone was going to hit you.)

399. climb into the handbasket
An invitation to go on a trip, using a handbasket as transportation; derived from the phrase, go hell in a handbasket.
When you climb into the handbasket, be sure to take your lies with you.
398. Unemployment Office
A state agency where the unemployed go to get unemployment benefits, under the pretense that they are looking for work.
To go along with the pretense of the unemployed, bureaucrats usually try to get peeps to call the Unemployment Office the opposite of what it is, with euphemisms such as Employment Development Department, in California.
397. Humbug
What you get if you cross a Hummer with a VW.
What's that he's driving?
