bracketry 

n. A non-existent branch of mechanical engineering that gets little respect; the science and technology associated with designing brackets. (A bracket is a support, consisting of metal or wood, projecting from a wall or the like to hold or bear the weight of a shelf, secure a part from moving, etc.)

Often considered an art form.
Stan: Matt, what do you think of this design?
Matt: I like it, but the bracketry could use some tweaking - it seems like there might be an interference.

bracketeering 

The should-be-illegal overuse of brackets in the written word, used by those who feel they cannot adequately convey meaning with standard punctuation.
Hey, whassup? (When i say 'whassup' i mean 'how's it going' rather than 'what's off the floor'). I'm doing good (well, not too bad) and looking forward (actually pretty keen...) to meeting you guys (and girls) soon (ish).

.....some serious bracketeering going on there.

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
