femacrocy

The type of bureaucracy that is in FEMA - they'll keep you waiting for months and send you a dozen people to do the same job and ask the same questions.

I got really pissed at the femacrocy the other day, because for the tenth time someone came to our house to ask us if our trailer was ready to get picked up. Even though we told them we wanted it picked up five months ago.

tornadocrastination

When a tornado comes by and you procrastinate the evacuation.

When I lived in Nebraska, my tornadocrastination almost killed me twice. Once I was sitting at home and I saw the big twister not too far away, but I said "aaah I still got time, give it five minutes sweetie" and next thing you know the windows started cracking and I started running like mad, and almost got hit by a flying telephone pole as I luckily found my way to the basement outside.

molokhia

Molokhia is an Egyptian soup that tastes very very good. It is sometimes eaten in other Middle Eastern countries, but mainly in Egypt. Molokhia is also known by the term "jew's mallow". Molokhia is somewhat like spinach but it is different. The soup is somewhat slimy but it tastes excellent. You may be able to find Molokhia at Middle Eastern restaurants. Molokhia goes really well with rice and diced potatoes in tomato sauce.

Ahmed: "Hey Adam, do you know where I can get Molokhia here in Lincoln? I've had it up to here with burritos and pizza. I miss the good old masry food"

Adam: "Yeah, man. I know how you feel. Apparently the nearest Middle Eastern restaurant is in Omaha. Good luck dude, and please invite me if you make some dude. I almost forgot what Molokhia was.

fissah

An SBD that can be heard quietly only if there is no noise around. Sometimes, as during testing situations (a la SAT, GRE, ACT, school exams, etc.) a fissah will quietly but steadily be heard, the sound similar to a small broken air valve - "fissssssssss."

Last October while I was taking the SAT, I was straining very hard to concentrate on this reading passage about the artistic ramifications of celery when I heard a fissah. After that, my score must've dropped at least 70 points.

ehondalization

This is a very complex social phenomena that cannot be really put to words very easily. But I will attempt anyways - ehondalization is when somebody does something in a cool and efficient way, and yet has a little bit of self-effacement and modesty to themselves, so that the effect is somewhat funny.

Similar to the Honda company, ehondalization isn't about being flashy or very exciting, but it is about a type of spartan efficiency with a bit of humor injected.

Back in high school, when we were chilling with friends, every now and then we witnessed the very rare and beautiful phenomenon called ehondalization. It happened more often in Chemistry class, when it was combined with titration.

Jim: "Hey Kareem, do you ever get a chance to go to the movies anymore?"

Kareem: "ha, once in an orange moon man... a bit busy plus I can't really afford to anyways so I check out old movies from the library"
