gauxth

n. or adj. An amalgam of faux and goth, used to describe the latest generation of youngsters who identify themselves and certain bands as gothic, even though they are really nothing of the sort according to the oldschool sensibilities of the subculture, which has been co-opted by commercialism and completely bastardized.

other pertinent terms and examples: goff, goffic, emo, being 'scene', Hot Topic, mall punk, My Chemical Romance, The Used
I was in the mall today and couldn't help but notice the gauxth kiddies swarming all over Hot Topic. They were all born sometime after 1984 and have never heard of Bauhaus.

hee-hee girl

n. or adj An annoying female, usually a member of the species prepis generalis. Characterized by their piercing, high-pitched giggling. These squeaky vocalizations are usually made in the presence of males to serve as a not-so-subtle mating display designed to entice the most primitive, devolved specimens, such as the jock.

The hee hee girl is a highly flighty, social creature that tends to travel in packs, or gaggles. Their habitat of choice will be the shopping mall, high school hallway, nightclub or other socially-charged environment. They tend to adorn themselves with rather dull yet rarified plumage with prominant brand markings, which they procure at great cost. This showy display of disposable wealth serves as a symbol of status based on the very banal and superficial standards of their kind.

Because she has adapted to wasting all her energy on the cultivation of her outward appearance with little time devoted to the inner life of the mind, the hee hee girl is among the least intelligent and most simplistic of all the human organisms, and should generally be avoided.

alternate spelling/prnounciation: tee hee girl
hee-hee girl: omg, Chandra, I sooo love that cardigan you got at Abercrombie and Fitch. That's hot! Heehee!
astute passerby: Heads up, there's a gaggle of hee-hee girls at twelve o'clock.

Take a turn about the room

An amusing term which appears so ubiquitously in various film adaptations of Jane Austin novels that it really should enter the public lexicon as a bit of tounge-in-cheek banter mocking the stilted, formal manner of speech common during the Regency period.
Chick: Dude, this party is great and all, but I've been sitting on this couch so long that my leg is falling asleep.
Dude: Shall we take a turn about the room?"

forcumstance

A fortunate unforseen circumstance. An unexpected perk as a result of any given chain of events.
An obvious melding of the words fortunate + unforseen + circumstance.

This word originated as a forcumstantial product of a slip of the tounge by a friend attempting to say "Fortunate unforseen circumstance".

Its obvious poetry, and the way it trips lightly off the tounge make it a forcumstantial addition to any cutting edge lexicon or meme cache.
She was a fan of 70's zombie movies, and through luck and forcumstance, met a guy who was into Romero films.

Decemberists

A genre-transcending band one must actually hear to fully appreciate. Like a runaway train engineered by ragtag poets overfond of spinning literary anachronisms into exultant ballads.
Pure joy.

Their music makes my nipples hard.
They are that good.
