a key (kilo)

In Toronto, a key to the city is more likely to involve a kilo than something that opens a lock.

fordnication

The feeling you get when you've been apologized to by a politician, yet you feel like they've just said, "Go fuck yourself!"
When a mayor of a city, let's say of the size of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, makes an apology that leaves you with the feeling that they just didn't mean it and were telling you where to go is fordnication.

parabollock mirror

In politics, it is a second stream of bullshit that mirrors that of someone else with a mutual interest of deception. The matching steam of deception is called a parabollock mirror from the British root of bollocks, representing bullshit or deception.
An an example, from Canadian politics, is the introduction of a cover story by Nigel Wright to match the legally protected stream of bullshit that Stephen Harper has been offering over the last couple months on the Senate expense scandal of Mike Duffy. In this example, Stephen Harper looks to his former staffer to provide a cover story of mirrored deceit and thus forms the parabollock mirror of his untruthful story.

stagetite

A comment from a troll that intends to put down someone with greater talent. To be read, "talent" (the greater might be saddle up against a complete void), in that there might be a complete absence in the troll's CV which will inevitably include character actor and trained with Second City Chicago. The training is most often as waitstaff.
The latest heat wave has brought out a fresh crop of stagetite putdowns from a fresh crop of talentless wannabee comedians on Twitter...or as I like to call it, the extension of their mother's basement couch nest provided in sympathy for "their situation".

slagtite

slagtite
The hot weather seems to have brought out a fresh crop of cicada comics that start to chirp when they find themselves among the talented and they pull out their little bag of meme-like slagtite disses allowing them to get through it without the need of a participation badge.
