Duckbutt's definitions

pissant

1. An insignificant or mediocre person.

2. A tiny black ant, sometimes called a 'sugar ant.' It is called this because this type of ant is a favorite target in urinals.

Monty Python wrote the Philosopher's Song in which they declared that 'Immanuel Kant was an old pissant.' I agree.

WOGS

This is an abbreviation of Wrath of God Syndrome. When the powers that be, in whatever setting, become annoyed by a subordinate and make life miserable for him or her.

So you screwed up: incoming WOGS, Dude, and can be expected to be peed on from a great height!

top-down awareness

That awkward moment when a person realizes that her bikini top has fallen out of place and others are aware of the fact.

mushroom status

This is the plight occasionally experienced by lower-level college administrators such as department or division chairs in which they are on a short leash as to what they can do, are regularly given a ration of shit, and are kept in the dark.

No budget, no instructions, no discretion or wiggle room; Bill has been consigned to mushroom status and regular Friday afternoon meetings.

name-killer

A name-killer is a very strong association of a name with an unfortunate or disreputable person or character, with the consequence of the name becoming less popular than before.

Adolf, Elmer, and Cletus are all examples of once more common names that were affected by name-killer associations. It is still open whether Monica will suffer this same effect.

egg-sucking dog

This literally refers to a seriously ugly or mangy mongrel. Said to be descrbed this way because of its non-doglike penchant for eating the insides of eggs.

Metaphorically, it can be applied to a person (almost always male) who is out-and-out riff-raff: one of the inbred corps.

Ole Billy Bob was just an egg-sucking dog.
