sargasm

Deriving far too much satisfaction from glibly berating another with sarcasm.

"Oh, thanks a lot for drinking my last beer! No, it's my fault... if I wanted it for myself, I shouldn't have put it in the fridge!"
"Dude, don't have a sargasm."

wrap rage

Injuring oneself by using a sharp object to try to open hard-to-open plastic packaging like the kind they sell cheap consumer electronics or household items in. Growing phenomenon described in the Pittsburgh Gazette and popularized by Stephen Colbert.

Ironically, he got so caught up in wrap rage that he almost sliced off his finger using a screwdriver to open the package containing an X-acto knife.

popunder

Internet popup ads that appear and automatically minimize. Even more annoying than popups, because you have to open the image and then close it.

I'd been browsing sites for several minutes and hadn't looked at my system tray. When I did, I noticed I had 42 popunders.

celebracy

The curious practice where a celebrity takes a vow of voluntary celibacy. Usually taken by brooding male rock stars like Rivers Cuomo and Morrissey.

I don't know why you'd practice celebracy when you could get any screaming teenage groupie you wanted.

fear goggles

What you're looking through the morning after you wore beer goggles and had a one night stand.

I must have been pretty drunk last night, because the girl I woke up with looked totally awful through my fear goggles.

air rage

Venting anger by an airplane passenger on flight attendants and other passengers, caused by poor service, bad food, cramped seats, delays, etc.
