Wasting time by looking at people's bookmarks on del.icio.us, usually someone you found because you've saved the same link.

Skillful and/or clever — i.e. the opposite of maladroit. Although it denotes the same characteristics as adroit, it has the added value of making its user appear even more pompous. Humorously ironical employment is possible, iff the speaker's swagger was phenomenal.
Nobody who was socially bonadroit would actually use the word "bonadroit," as it just confuses people.

Black people with extremely fair complexions (because they're so HIGH yellow it's like they're in orbit around the earth).

JASON: But he's in orbit yellow; he'd ruin the curve on the brown paper bag test!

A compliment couched in the form or tone of an insult. Often used by people who *want* to be nice, but fear being seen as weak or disingenuous, but can be unintentional.

Goyim with a fetish for Jewish people and/or Judaica. Derived from the English appropriation of the Japanese word otaku.
"Jewish" is itself a highly contested term, so someone you view as a Jewtaku may actually self-identify as Jewish.
Not to be confused with a Jewish otaku (aka a jewbaka).
