Outside it's America

Reference to the ubiquity of things American in the world of the late twentieth/early twenty-first century CE: in the pre-Chinese era. From the U2 song Bullet the Blue Sky, about US military domination of Central America.
We take the staircase to the first floor
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
A man breathes into a saxophone
And through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside it's America
Outside it's America

Catch-phrase from Chuck Palahniuk's breakthrough novel Fight Club, and the David Fincher movie based on it. This is your life and it is ending one minute at a time. Reminder of mortality, prod in the back to go out and do something with yourself.
This is your life and it is ending one minute at a time, boy.

domokun

Little square brown creature with a gaping toothy mouth, born in Japan. Big in Japan, too. For some reason used as a mascot (not, presumably, by the artists who made the domokun) against the perfectly natural, pleasant and healthy practice of masturbation. See also Religion.
Every time you send that fucking picture, God kills a domokun.

Zaphod Clause

Important precondition for attaining the role of chief of the executive wing of government, not least in the United States. More or less quote/unquote, "You can't become President with an entire brain." From the movie of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Al Gore and John Kerry almost made it, but they were both scuppered by the Zaphod Clause.

cerebrosphere

1. The world of the human intellect, or intellectual culture globally.

2. More locally the atmosphere or ethos of a given academic institution, political movement or other environment in which people come up with and share various ideas.
The instant he walked in the gates and started talking to people he found himself relaxing once more into the cerebrosphere of Cambridge.

I haven't been in the radical feminist cerebrosphere for some time now.

Bounderby

Someone who cynically grandstands about their unpleasant childhood, by way of fishing for pity or giving an apologia for their heartless or anti-social behaviour. Very trendy in a postmodernist climate. From the character in Dickens' "Hard Times".
Look at that kid on the TV saying that he wouldn't have killed the kid on a joyride if his own mummy had loved him a bit more. What a perfect little Bounderby.

rich from the neck up

Used of someone who is living beyond their means. Their wealth is purely in their head and implicit in their attitude.
She can't afford the rent and just bought herself a state-of-the-art computer system on credit. She's rich from the neck up.
