auromontanomoriphobia

Morbid fear of Rube Goldberg devices, elaborate systems built from everyday objects to convey mechanical energy across a given distance.

The candle burns the string which releases the hammer to knock the golf ball down the chute where it sends the row of nails rolling on their heads into each other and then ... oh NOOOOOOOO!!!!! I've got auromontanomoriphobia, get me out of here!

face-hugger

Really creepy sexual partner who wants to bear/sire a child at the first opportunity, tries cleaving to someone who is not interested, and if a kid is conceived and born promptly loses interest in it. In short, a bit of a psycho. After the critter in the Alien movies.

I don't know what Alice ever say in Mark. Now she's trying to offload little Gary onto him. She must be a face-hugger.

200C

Dilution used on a homeopathic preparation called Occilococcinum, made from freeze-dried powdered duck liver diluted one hundredfold in solvent 200 times over and supposedly of use in curing cold and flu symptoms. This dilution, if accurately labelled, would represent one molecule of (allegedly) active ingredient in 1 followed by 400 zeroes other molecules, or in other words somewhere between the fourth and fifth exponential powers of the total number of atoms in the observable Universe.

Gimme some 200C vodka and see how drunk I get.

Florida majority

democracy

1. Form of government supposedly originating in classical Athens. The term is derived from the Greek words demos (people) and kratein (rule). Even in ancient Athens the "people" excluded women and slaves.

2. Government "of the people, by the people and for the people", to quote Abraham Lincoln.

3. In the present world, whatever suits those controlling the United States military.

Sometimes, son, it's unfortunately necessary to liquidate a coupla million gooks to bring them democracy, McDonald's and all that stuff. Praise the Lord and pass the ammo.

musturbation

Self-righteous or ostentatious insistence that the entire Universe will disintegrate if one does not keep oneself busy. In other words (mime jerking hand up and down) you must-must-MUST do the dishes/feed the cat/write more letters. From the writings of M. Scott Peck.

You've been tiling and re-tiling the kitchen wall for the last year. When's the musturbation going to stop?

Bushaholic

Someone who persists in believing that the American head of state from 2001 to 2009 was God's gift to the world, and won't be weaned off that belief by anything.

Most Bushaholics are Republicans in the States and mercenaries anywhere else.
