coolies

Literally, a blatant, presumably intentional misspelling of the improperly plural adverb form of cool, coolly.

1. Like being cool, only more so.

2. Used as adj.; cool, only more so.

3. n. An oriental ethnic group; reknown in the western U.S. for working in near-slavery conditions to do the hard part of building the first trans-continental railroad.

4. n. An offensive racial, (see race), slur against oriental people.
1. No known example of usage.

2-3. After the coolies finished the project, it must have been real coolies to have a trans-continental railroad.

4. I doubt they ever let the coolies ride on it.

recipriversexcluson

A fundamental concept of Bistromathematics, as described in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, "a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself". Similar to, and easily confused with the related principle by which knowing that the answer is 42 precludes knowing the question.
42 is not a recipriversexcluson, because it really is the location of Stavromula Beta. What is precluded about 42 is knowing that Stavromula Beta is the question.

Yes, I am allowed to say so. In fact it's a necessity, because every publication of Hitchhiker is required, by yet another similarly related principle, to contradict all previous publications of it.

lilspeak

A dialect of written slang used by littles, mostly on chat and message boards. Spelling is extremely phonetic, reflects child-like speech impediments, and may be otherwise incorrect. Grammar is extremely child-like. Comments frequently reflect child-like miscomprehension of others' comments.

Come to think of it, that describes ebonics, too.

San Francisco

One of those places where no one can both live and work there. Only people who can afford not to work can afford to live there. People who work there live some place like Santa Rosa or San Jose.
The natural result of San Francisco is that people who work in Santa Rosa or San Jose can't afford to live there, because people who live in Frisco took all the houses, and have to live some place like Ukiah or Modesto instead.

People used to both live and work in Modesto, but now they have to commute from Sonora or Madera. It's all Frisco's fault, and the sooner one of their faults dumps them in the ocean, the better.
