twitterfication

Writing that may contain typos, misspellings, abbreviations and symbols, some of which is intentional, some of which is accidental -- but "close enough" for the reader to figure it out.

Given the amount of twitterfication, it's clear that no one actually READ the article before publishing it; they simply relied on spell checkers.

parkoincidence

You're parked in a vast parking lot (shopping mall, sports venue, etc.), and you cannot see anyone else in the entire parking lot. But somehow, just seconds before you get to YOUR car, the driver of the car NEXT to your car arrives (usually with a shopping cart to unload or a baby to put in a car seat), thus preventing you from entering YOUR car.

Statutory Grape

Legal. A form of vagrancy. Drinking wine in the park and passing out at the base of a statue.

Jack was over-celebrating his promotion and got picked up for statutory grape.

Retailiate

Boycotting or otherwise protesting against a store that operates unethically or that is not consumer-friendly.

When we found out that Jack's Department Store paid its male employees 25% more than its female employees, we retailiated by putting up posters outside for Sid's Department Store.
