Humpty Dumpty

a person who re-defines words to suit himself, rather than using words the way the dictionary defines them.

From Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass":

`When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.'

`The question is,' said Alice, `whether you can make words mean so many different things.'

`The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, `which is to be master -- that's all.'
Person 1: I'm hungry.

Person 2: You don't know the meaning of "hungry" till you've been starving like the hordes in the third world.

Person 3: Bullshit! Look it up in the dictionary, Humpty Dumpty!

out of your pay grade

out of your league, your level of authority or your ability.

To tell someone that they are out of their pay grade is to say that they are flunkies who are in over their head.
1) "Well, detective, there are matters at stake here that are a little bit above your pay grade. No offense."

2) "You're asking questions way out of your pay grade."

O'Brien

a white suprecemacist leader that George Costanza impersonated to get a free ride in a limo. George's lie nearly cost him his life, as he faced being torn limb-from-limb by an angry mob, or being shot by angry neo-Nazi's.

We're not sure how he got out of this dilemma, as the show ended with him still in grave danger, but he seemed okay in the next episode.
George: I am not O'Brien! I am not O'Brien! I'm not O'Brien!

wikitivity

the activity of editing or otherwise working on Wikipedia.
I'm pretty tempted to edit the article, though I usually just restrict my wikitivity to vandal-squishing.

fourthmeal

a corporate conspiracy to further addict the hapless masses to crappy, fat-laden food.
Dude #1: Want to go for fourthmeal? I feel like some Mexican food.

Dude #2: No, I don't do everything the TV tells me to. I think I'll have a salad. Besides, if you think you're going to get Mexican food at Taco Bell, you deserve what you get.

Budd Dwyer

to commit suicide on television (like the Pennsylvania Treasurer, Budd Dwyer.
The television station would not air the interview live, becuase the subject was facing ruination, and they feared he could pull a Budd Dwyer.
