vaporwagner
Music that is heavily hyped but delayed to the point you doubt it will ever be released. A combination of vaporware and 19th-century composer Wilhelm Richard Wagner.
Lil Wayne has a history of vaporwagner projects, so it was somewhat surprising that "Tha Carter III" actually came out.

Evite Exegesis
Analyzing an evite. Despite evites' air of informality, they are often carefully constructed by party planners and thus can be rich with meaning. Nevertheless, it is easy to overthink an evite, whether by incorrectly ascribing intentionality to hastily written remarks, attempting to divine patterns from the ebb & flow of responses, or forgetting to ask yourself the simple question, "Will I have fun?"

Jewtaku
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).

del.icio.us dawdle
Wasting time by looking at people's bookmarks on del.icio.us, usually someone you found because you've saved the same link.
danah likes to reconstruct the identity of a user from bookmarks she encounters during a del.icio.us dawdle, but it's mostly apophenia.
