dinosaur

A person who has been employed for a long time by a corporation, university, or organization. Generally used disparagingly by younger persons who regard this person as a general obstacle to progress, or one to their own personal advancement. The expression implies obsolescence on the part of the person so described, whether factually or not.
The English Department was filled with dinosaurs who were on the faculty for more than thirty years. They should set a maximum limit on the number of years a person may be on the faculty!

Scheissenbedaurn

Scheissenbedaurn is the vague sense of disappointment that something thought to be really bad or in awful taste turns out to be not as bad as expected. (From the German, meaning literally: "shit-regret")
I left concerts by the Dixie Chicks and by Britney Spears with a vague sense of scheissenbedaurn. They merely mildly sucked, but neither was the world-class suckfest I longed for. The same thing cannot be said about the enormity that is a Barbra Streisand concert.
