randomers

Random people. People you don't know, and who seem to be there for no reason. Strangers, or barely-there acquaintances.
The ones nobody invited to the party, but who hang around anyway - no-one will ask them to leave, as no-one knows who invited them in the first place.

My Facebook friends are a mix of colleagues, school friends, and randomers I couldn't turn down in case I'd met them and forgotten about it.

2: It's 6:37 AM.
1: There's a 6:37 in the morning?

plebbledash

"To bulk up a television news report with needless vox-pop soundbites from ill-informed members of the public." (Screen Wipe's Charlie Brooker)

To pebbledash the broadcast with the opinions of plebs.

The breakfast news is heavily plebbledashed. They seem to care more about the opinions of people texting in than they do about standards of reporting.

manual memory

Writing stuff on your hands so you remember it.

Meeting at seven? Just let me put that into manual memory... *writes on hand*

tinternet

'The Internet', in a stereotypical Northern English accent in which the word 'the' is shortened to 't'. Used normally in a tongue-in-cheek or self-parodying fashion. The word 'tinterweb' also exists, but is rarely used.

Research? Log onto tinternet and let's see what we can find.

haiku

Haikus have three lines.
The first has five syllables,
Then seven, then five.

Proper haikus are about nature, especially the seasons; the structure tends to be more important than the words.

A haiku:
Underneath a tree
Summer air is so easy.
So is yo mama.

crotchdog

"Dismal paparazzo whose career consists of lying in the gutter desperately pointing his camera up the skirts of celebrities exiting limousines."
Coined by Screen Wipe's Charlie Brooker.

The tabloids employ crotchdogs as the world has a right to see what Z-list celebs have under their miniskirts.
