plug seeking
The often desperate plight of the smartphone user. Said users are always looking for another hit of electricity to sustain the user's ever-increasing demand for power to support 3G and other intensive battery-draining device activities. Plug seekers can often be identified publicly in airports, coffeehouses or sitting along the walls of conference sessions.
A: Why is Barbara sitting all alone in the corner? Is she being anti-social today?
B: Nah -- she's plug seeking, and it's the only place she could find an open outlet. Another half-hour and she'll be forcibly powered down. Then you'll see anti-social.

holidate
The person, of a romantic nature or not, that you take with you to mitigate the insanity of being near family during major cultural events that require a lot of gathering, eating and spending quality time together. Examples of such holidays include Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.
My holidate, Chris, and I will be playing the "racist and homophobic comments drinking game" when he comes home with me for Thanksgiving this year.

borientation
Training sessions, corporate videos, processing meetings, human resources intakes; borientation involves plunging headfirst into the esoteric excrement of your new institutional identity. Its sole purpose is to wring the last vestiges of individualism from your soul before you begin your corporate, educational or other insipid journey.
Freddy: When do you start work?
Velma: Well, I think I'll probably start working on Wednesday, but first I have to endure two horrific days of borientation.

alcoholidays
St. Patrick's Day, Halloween, Mardi Gras. Those days that seem to, at least for college students, exist solely for the purpose of getting shit-faced drunk, with rituals often beginning as early as morning and continuing throughout the day.
Bob: Dude! I'm so drunk right now. We started drinking every time we see spongebob squarepants, and they are running a Halloween Marathon.
Ted: Happy Alcoholidays!

gay fat
A gay man who does not have a gym-perfect body, but rather carries a body fat percentage in the 12% - 20% range. A man who is considered gay fat within the community would likely be considered athletic, physically fit and in-shape within the greater cultural context.
Grant: Hey, can I use one of your guest passes for the gym? I'm in a bit of a dry spell with gigs, and couldn't afford to re-up myself.
Jerome: Sure, man, no problem.
Grant: Awesome, dude. I'm afraid if I don't start to get back to it regularly, I'm going to lose this year's 'Ass Fabulous' contest.
Jerome: Honestly, I don't know that a fourth straight win will make you any more fuckable, but it's easier to give you the pass than to host a full-blown gay fat intervention in a few weeks if you don't win.

dognity
Martin: Is that the Easter bunny or is it Eddie?
Niles: Oh Dad, can't you spare that poor animal for just one commercial holiday? These humiliating outfits must deprive him entirely of any true sense of dognity.
