co-promo

media term for those current TV shows where wannabees or one-star celebs hoping to raise their public profile are encouraged to compete, be humiliated, bullied, or patronised on camera...

Great symbiotic relationship -- the media get hours of cheap or unpaid labour; everyone gets their fifteen minutes of facial recognition; one or two win through to big bucks...

'Jeez ! Yet another co-promo on TV... this time it's the Whiplash School of Cookery comp...but dammit, I love them all...it's so addictive...'

infomaniac

Someone who showers you with useless information which you never asked for...

'The guy's such an infomaniac ! I just asked him for the train times, and he told me how many wheels each engine would have...'

'Darling, I said infomaniac not nymphomaniac...I don't want to hear all your day's office gossip straight after sex, puh-leaze..'

'Jeez, get me away from that infomaniac ... who wants to hear her business gossip at a chick party ?'

sweetypuss

opposite of sourpuss. When someone asks you what -- say -- your fierce new grade teacher is like, and neither 'sweetie' nor 'pussy-cat' quite fit the bill..

'My new grade teacher ? She comes across all disciplinarian -- but one-to-one she's a real sweetypuss..'
