D&D-mo

Like screamo, a new variety of emo rock music which consists of kids who played Dungeons & Dragons in high school, sing about loserdom and teenage angst, reference 80's movies they were too young to see the first time around, and use at least 15 words in each song title.

D&D-mo bands include Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, Nightmare of You, Hawthorne Heights, The Academy Is..., Relient K, and Say Anything.

slingbox

A device that can attach to your Tivo or other digital video recorder, which allows you to access and watch your programs over the Internet. You simply log into your computer and watch whatever streaming video you have recorded on your Tivo.

Thanks to my slingbox, I can watch last night's episode of "24" which my Tivo recorded, even though I'm still on vacation.

blook

A printed compendium of a blog, available in book form.

I'm not really sure why people would buy a blook when they can just read the blogs for free.

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."

thundersnow

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

Thundersnow would be a great name for a heavy metal band.

Friendly Confines

Chicago phrase for the greatest ballpark in the world, Wrigley Field. Unfortunately not, by any stretch of the imagination, home to the greatest baseball team in the world. Coined by first baseman and coach Ernie Banks.

Win or lose, it's always a good afternoon at the Friendly Confines.

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.
