white Mecca

Noun. - Slang term for New York City, derived from young white people's unrestrained adoration and reverence for the city. Often used derisively or ironically.

Maya fever

Noun. - The belief, with varying degrees of seriousness, that the world will end on December 21, 2012, based on a highly idiosyncratic interpretation of the ancient Mayan Long Count calendar, which pinpoints this precise date as the end of a 125-year long cycle.

Katrina has a serious case of Maya fever. I don't think the "2012" movie helped matters at all.

Benetton

Verb. - To choose one's friends based on their race in order to end up with a thoroughly multi-ethnic social circle, with the goal of appearing as a sensitive, varied individual who doesn't see color. This is normally carried out by white people. Named after Benetton clothing company ads from the nineties, which were multi-ethnic to a fault. The word is rarely used by those who do it.

An offshoot of quirk hunting.

Wesley went to a black mass to try and Benetton his circle of friends a bit. I don't think it's working.

alternadude

Noun. - A male (usually young, bourgeois) who considers himself removed from the mainstream, yet is actually rooted quite firmly in it. Prone to posting Bob Dylan lyrics as status updates on Facebook, owning several pairs of Converse shoes and swearing by his copy of "Fight Club".

An alternachick is a female version of an alternadude; the concept is the same but the symptoms may vary. Alternachicks like antique shopping, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and 'photography'.

The terms are often used derisively and in a condescending manner. Often coupled with ironic remarks.
Oh, yeah, Jake's a real alternadude. Spent all lunch trying to impress me with his theories on "Donnie Darko".

Did you see Lois's latest Facebook pictures? They're just a bunch of empty chairs with all this filtering crap going on. She's such an alternachick, that one.

stall-what

Verb. - To answer a question with "What?" not because you misheard, but because you need a moment to process the information or think of an answer while the person repeats themselves. May be done multiple times in succession. Often a knee-jerk reaction.

Noun. - The action of stall-whatting.

tween

Noun. - A person in between childhood and teenhood, approx. 12-14 years old, mostly used to describe females only. This specific distinction appeared when corporations realized that tweens were a specific, marketable demographic with purchasing power of their own. Now, tween-oriented products such as The Jonas Brothers and tween lifestyle guides like iCarly exist.

zombie outbreak

The tendency of the zombie horror subgenre to become remarkably popular approximately every twenty years, then fade away. Zombie outbreaks have been noted during the mid-eighties and the late zeroes.

So named because the fad behaves like a zombie horde, first appearing as a controlled instance, then escalating while no-one's looking and finally making the leap to the general populace with mass mainstream multimedia. Eventually the fad has no demographic left to consume, and rots away.
Yesterday Isaac spent the whole carpool ride telling me about his zombie apocalypse survival plan in detail. He's totally buying into the current zombie outbreak.

Zombieland, Plants vs. Zombies, The Walking Dead... I've had enough! I hope this zombie outbreak dies off soon.
