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...'

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..'

'Amabo!'

Latin for 'I shall love'which happens to be 'Obama' spelt backwards -- thus a rallying-cry for supporters...

'Our funky classics prof. has taken to calling out 'Amabo!' when he comes into class, and we call back 'Obama'.. it starts the class with a laugh..
