Sexpat (noun), an compound of sex and expat or expatriate.
A sexpat is one who participates in tourism with the express intention of having sex.
There may be a variety of reasons for this, such as:
less restrictive laws in foreign countries;
anonymity or privacy;
a preference for people of other ethnic groups;
financial reasons i.e. if one travels from a wealthy country to a poorer one.
However, by far and away the single greatest reason for the existence of the sexpat phenomenon is that sexpats find securing carnal relations with someone in their own country difficult to impossible to achieve.

Heaven help me, yet another nasty new noun, the unholy marriage of "volunteer" and "tourism".
Voluntourism, an act carried out by "voluntourists", is when hoardes of - generally - the great unwashed backpacker brigade descend on a place to do have a jolly nice holiday - usually at precious little cost to themselves - and do the occasional bit of good work.
Looks good on one's CV as a gap year activity.

Voluntourist 1: Shall we go to Khao Lak to engage in a spot of voluntourism?
Voluntourist 2: No, tsunami voluntourism is old hat now. All the bars are closed and hardly anyone is living in the houses built, anyway.
Voluntourist 1: Good point. (pauses) Sierra Leone?
Vouluntourist 2: Are you insane?

While the distance travelled by light in a year (a "light year") is a significant measurement, there is one that has greater relevance to most of us: the "shag mile".
The shag mile (noun) is the distance one is prepared to travel in order to have sex.

Imagined SMS exchange*:
A: I am quite enamoured with you.
B: I feel rather passionately disposed towards you.
A: If only...
B: ...we weren't so many shag miles apart?
A: Yes, but it's a measure of my deep-seated lust for you that I will travel around 150 shag miles to see you.
B: I'll be waiting on the bed with my kit off.
*The real exchange would be considerably fruitier than this

Quite possibly the worst band in existence. Many hardcore fans pretend to enjoy their music, citing them as "experimental," "abstract," and "amazing." Many believe that because they do not sound like any other band it automatically means their music is good.

Another bastardised nouveau noun, this time "culture" and "entrepreneur".
It is, according to the website of a marketing and promotions company as "…the dialogue between the arts and business."
Hateful, and it has me reaching for my pistol.
