Fooldiggery 

1. Stupidity or foolishness at its highest level.

2. A situation or person that goes above and beyond ordinary foolishness.

from the latin words: Baro Cavo
Hubcaps that spin on a Geo Metro is pure fooldiggery!

No Country For Old Men 

A good movie that's gotten a bad rap due to stubborn fans using poor defenses of the film when it's criticized.

They often say people just "don't get it" if they don't like it and anyone who doesn't should go watch Transformers 2 (or whatever other film which is at the time popular for lacking plot and overusing CGI, etc).

Personally, however, I still find it to be a very good movie, it's just unfortunate that it's gotten such a bad rep due to stubborn defenders who can't deal with other opinions
Some guy: No Country For Old Men sucked!

Stubborn NCFOM fan: You just didn't get it, go watch Transformers 2!

Some guy: You're stupid for liking it!

Stubborn NCFOM fan: No, you are!

Sensible person: Wouldn't it be easier to simply accept some people didn't like the movie, instead of giving its fanbase a bad name?

Stubborn NCFOM fan: Go watch Transformers!

No Country for Old Men 

A movie (and book) about a Texas bumpkin who stumbles across $2 million, heroin and a slew of dead drug dealers in the desert. Rather than doing the civil deed of contacting authorities, the bumpkin steals the money and is subsequently chased by a silly-lookin' fella with a bad haircut. Although (we're told) the bad haircut dude kills anyone who inconveniences him, the case rule exception is morbidly obese beauty queens at trailer parks. As all of this is going on, a small town codger sheriff chats with people and occasionally investigates the case, but otherwise has little to do with the bumpkin and the bad haircut dude.

By the end, the audience has just witnessed the same allegories, cliches and plot holes of cinema in the past 60 years (although the film's apologists claim we just "didn't get it", and that the movie has a profound, cryptic meaning - which is often their own interpretation.) While "No Country" did gain a significant amount of critical/award acclaim, reception was actually much more polarized, evident by the defensive/flamebait nature of the film's defenders.
NCFOM Fanboy: I think anyone who doesn't like this film should just watch a Hollywood-produced movie with gratuitous violence, explosions, car crashes and limited character development, such as Die Hard 4 or Transformers!

COMMON SENSE MOVIEGOER: But wasn't "No Country For Old Men" also a Hollywood-produced movie with gratuitous violence, explosions, car crashes and limited character development?

NCFOM Fanboy: U just didn't understand it! Who are UR favorite directorz? I bet I know.

COMMON SENSE MOVIEGOER: Well, I liked the Coen brothers' films before they made the "No Country" BS. I'm also a fan of movies by Scorsese, Kubrick, Huston, Jarmusch, Lumet, Eastwood, Welles...

NCFOM Fanboy: HA HA HA, I knew it! Didn't the Stanley Kubrick guy direct the first and second TRANSFORMERS moviez? HA HA HA, U suck, case closed!

Money for old rope 

Money for old rope

A old saying that means getting money for nothing or doing nothing.

It originates from a time when hangmen used to get to keep the rope from the condemned as a perk of the job and unscrupulous hangmen would just keep the rope and then sell pieces of old rope to gullible souvenir hunters at hangings instead.
I cant believe he was paid to sit around watching TV talk about money for old rope!
