demablogger

A portmanteau of demagogue and blogger, it is a person who uses a blog as a soapbox from which to preach to the unwashed masses and the rest of the world.

Compare to pedablogger, who uses their blog to educate rather than to orate.

Pete with his 'rant of the day' is one of the most entertaining demabloggers I know.

punctuicon

From "punctuation emoticon": A smiley used in addition to or instead of traditional punctuation, intended to introduce extra meaning on top of the literal meaning of the sentence in a nonverbal manner.

I told Mike online that he should go DIAF, but I ended my IM with a smiley punctuicon so he wouldn't think I was really that mad at him:

"Go DIAF Mike:)"

crudware

A computer application so ineptly designed that you decide you don't really need what it does, *that* badly.

I could really use a mail program, but I'm not desperate enough to get mail to want to use that piece of crudware called Microsoft Outlook.

middlicious

(adj.) Combination of the words "middle" and "delicious": food which is neither extraordinarily tasty nor truly awful, but simply common, average, or adequate-quality cuisine. Often filling and good enough to eat if you're hungry, but you'd pass it up for *real* food.

Most store-bought pizza isn't superb, just middlicious. Believe me, I've had worse delivered.

Fourth World

Those ethnic groups which reside in the jurisdiction of recognized nations rather than having an independent state of their own. Fourth-world peoples are excluded from positions of power in those governments, and frequently have de facto if not de jure status as second-class citizens or worse.

The Palestinians, Kurds, and Roma are all examples of members of the Fourth World.

extended loan

A method of semi-permanently giving something away to someone while reserving your right to ask for it back later if you change your mind.

I gave my first mp3 player to Jim on extended loan, but since my new mp3 player got stolen, I was able to ask for the old one back.
