Colonial spring
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.

this is a thing
People really do travel to dangerous places just to take selfies. It's hard to believe that this is a thing.

because
The shorthand version for expressions like "because of" or "because I am".

syllabobble
Talking so fast that your mouth gets ahead of your brain, and you wind up flipping syllables around or dropping them entirely.
"I can't believe you actually did that; I call sheganigans!"
"You mean shenanigans? Syllabobbling again, are we?"
"Kim Kardashian is such a skank; I would marry her!"
"Please tell me you meant to say, wouldn't."
"Oops, I did! Man, what a syllabobble."

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!
