Hell Niño

The 1992-93 El Niño Winter in Susanville, California, when every storm all winter dumped four feet of snow, and the electricity would shut off for four days at a time, and only come back on just in time for the next storm to hit.
Pictures of cans and bottles of beer stuffed into snow banks are falsely attributed to Canada, but the redneck waste of refrigeration ingenuity on beer rather than on groceries betrays the true origin of the picture as being the Susanville Hell Niño of 1992-93.

cell phone

Cellular communication; how an amoeba communicates. You know; amoebae, like really, really small people.
Hey, lookit the cell phone under this microscope!

Of course it is! Can't you see that the one amoeba's phoning another one?

Of course his phone is cellular. What other kind would an amoeba have?

(If you're saying this out loud, it would be good to duck now and then, in case someone was going to hit you.)

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.

mental whiplash

The mental effect of realizing that a basic assumption of your entire life was wrong from day one, usually resulting from a totally new thought, comment, or experience that flies in the face of everything you currently know.

See also; mindfuck.
Mental whiplash is the psychological equivalent maxing out your revs in Third, and then accidentally shifting into Reverse instead of High.

Attorney

A legislator-in-training who hopes to grow up to be a real politician some day. See job security.
Most legilators either have been, or eventually become attorneys, who practice the very law that legislators write, leading to a horrific conflict of interest between the two professions, by which government of the people is by the attorneys, for the attorneys.
