| 12. | Stock Footage | ||
|
A telephone conversation skill that involves giving the impression of listening to one's interlocutor's monologue while actually focusing on a separate unrelated task that demands all of one's conscious attention. This technique allow one to focus on one of the myriad tasks that demand our time in this Information Age such as checking email, reading product labels, console video games, television subplot hermeneutics, etc.
The effective Stock Footage skill set includes (at least): 1. Subliminally registering important words, 2. Following the tone and cadence of your partner's voice while ignoring its content, 3. Judiciously interjecting soothing phrases when appropriate, 4. And, (the most expert skill) responding to the dreaded "Are you even listening to me?" or somesuch query by reconstructing from one's subconscious mind enough of the meaning of the fellow communicant's narrative to prevent a highly undesirable incidence of Color Bars. In the following example, Speaker B is engaging in Stock Footage:
Speaker A: "...and so she says to me 'no way' and i go 'you've GOT to be kidding me' and he goes 'no you DIDN'T' and then they both started in again with the, you know, and I was like so... " Speaker B: "So.. what?" Speaker A: "Embarrassed, you know? Are you even listening to me?" Speaker B; "Yes, of course, they were at it again with the same old same old can you believe it?' Speaker A; "I know! And then she was like..." |

| 13. | Donktard | ||
|
Comination of donk and tard. Usually used in poker, it is primarily aimed to give added emphasis to the degree of how inept a player's skill set is. Likewise, it can also be expanded to the realm of daily life to critique whenever a person does something that, for lack of a better phrase, is utterly and completely stupid. For Poker: Wow, four people push all-in preflop in a $75 tourney and he called with 2 3 offsuit? What a donktard.
For life: She drove off from the pump with the nozzle still in the car and the fuel cap on her hood? What a donktard. |

| 14. | good earner | ||
|
Mafioso slang for a mob employee who is a hard worker and of good value to the family. Typically someone is considered a "good earner" because they bring in more money to the organization than they take out.
