Colonial spring

A bout of warm, springlike weather toward the end of winter; the opposite of an Indian summer.

I think we ought to dub this period of unseasonably warm weather a 'Colonial spring' because:

1) It wasn't invited and it's not supposed to be here,
2) It seems like a blessing at first, but you suspect a global calamity may be lurking,
3) Its 'gifts' are often laden with nasty surprises like illness and flash flooding, and
4) Things could turn ugly again really quickly, without warning, despite assurances to the contrary.

pungasm

An appreciation of a particularly clever example of punning and/or wordplay to the point of rapture. The social sciences equivalent of a nerdgasm.

All it took was a single visit to the Pungeon Master page at TVTropes, and I was drowning in a tidal surge of pungasm glory!

McCorporation

A company with a very large number of brick and mortar outlets, often national if not worldwide. The corporate cultures of these profit-driven companies usually include an expectation of consistency from store to store, enforced by a rigid set of rules and a series of metrics that often measure variables which are outside their employees' control. This does not protect said employees from the consequences of failing to meet those standards.

Some of the best-known McCorporations include McDonald's (duh), Wal-Mart and Aldi.

relax yourself

Very similar to calm yourself, it's what you say to someone who's acting up, maybe buggin, or in serious danger of going postal.

For maximum impact, use it as a complete sentence at the end of whatever else you wanted to say.

Paris: You borrowed my new skinny jeans without asking? I'll claw your eyeballs out, you thieving skank!

Lindsay: Listen beyotch, they needed breaking in by someone with some actual junk in the trunk. I'll wash 'em before I return 'em. Relax yourself.
