Reconation

A word made up by Community Corrections jabberwalkies. It has no definition other than the one found here. The word is used to cause a person to question their own thinking.

Mark wants to break us using moral reconation therapy, but he can't.

resentation 

A presentation that you really hate working on, usually in powerpoint.

Tarek would have liked nothing more than to stay in the pub all afternoon, however he was forced to go back to the office to work on the dreaded 900 slide client resentation for Friday.

recitation

This must be unique to NYU, because nobody I've talked to at any other school has heard of it. It's a small group of people from a larger lecture who have to meet with a grad student for a smaller class session that allows students to discuss the material covered in the lecture.

I might possibly pass my liberal art class because we discussed the lecture in my recitation.

repewtation

Being infamously odiferous when farting.

In da infamous 1946 International Wind-Breaking Contest, it's not stated whether da two of-loud-and-copious-"crepitation-reputation" contestants --- Lord Windesmere and Paul Boomer --- also had a significant "repewtation". One would hope, though, dat it was an outdoor event, just in case.
