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.

Coined by incoming Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

"When my colleagues elect me as speaker on January 4, we will not just break through a glass ceiling, we will break through a marble ceiling." - Nancy Pelosi, Jan. 3, 2007.

transposer

A guy with tendencies toward wearing feminine clothes and/or makeup, but stopping short of a full-fledged transvestite or transexual. E.g. sporting guyliner, lipstick, excessive jewelry, female hairdos, and wearing overly tight shirts and women's black jeans. Usually this is just done for attention, rather than to signify sexual preference. Most common among rock singers.

Pete Wentz, Brandon Flowers, and the "Leave Britney Alone" guy are transposers.
