Ben Frey's definitions

cribster

A baby who is forced to become trendy by its urban hipster parents. More and more boutiques in upscale neighborhoods cater to these parents, stuck in 1/3-life crisis, who buy their baby clothes and accessories that are essentially scaled-down versions of the Hot Topic product line. It's a way for young moms to live the party life vicariously through their child, 16 years before that child will be allowed to party.

I don't know what's more disturbing: that the 35-year old mom in Starbucks is wearing a babydoll shirt that says "Sex Kitten"... or that her cribster is wearing the same thing.

thundersnow

A strange weather phenomenon first widely discussed in winter 2006, involving a thunderstorm with snow instead of rain.

marble ceiling

Discriminatory barrier keeping a certain class of people out of an upper echelon of American government. Distinguished from a glass ceiling because not only is this class prevented from rising to the next level, they cannot even see what is going on up there.

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.

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."

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.
