GW Pepper

Nickname for George W Bush. Taken from first two initials, and the name of Sheriff JW Pepper, a bumbling idiotic Deep Southern sheriff turning up in two of the Roger Moore Bond movies. Suits him, honest.

Yessireee, that there's Sheriff GW Pepper. Wheyooogowin, boah?

necrocam

1. Internet movie made on a shoestring in the Netherlands about a group of three beautifully morbidly obsessed (or perhaps just eternally curious) teenagers who vow that the first of them to die will have the process of his/her decomposition broadcast on the Web from a camera installed in his/her well-lit coffin. Darkly witty, even if its reputation seems to exceed its availability.

2. Any similar setup in real life (or real death, I suppose). Unclear at the time of writing if anyone has actually done this, although there is at least one fake version on the Web. In theory there may or may not be cybernetically accessible environmental controls, more than one camera, et cetera.

I managed to download Necrocam a few years back. Gross, but intriguing.

Pamela says she wants necrocam coverage when she dies. Everyone to their own taste.

speciesist

Derogatory term for someone who regards our fellow humans as more worthy of our care and attention than other forms of life, used by the kind of person who wants everyone to be eaten by lions on the Serengheti.

I'm a human, I'm a speciesist and I'm proud of it.

Marylin Monroe

Talented actress, 1936-62. Friends with the Kennedys of Camelot, USA. Commemorated in a song by Enya on the album Watermark. Murdered by a gibbous fanatic on his way to an eldritch rendezvous because she knew far too much about the Great Chthulhu.

Marylin Monroe. She sang Happy Birthday against the coming of the cosmic night.

modernist

Any writer at the age of twenty. Their head is not together enough to write about anything, but they write just the same. Unfortunately some of them are taken too seriously. Was a lot worse in the 1920s, obviously enough.

Sally doesn't know one end of a pen from the other and tells everyone she's a modernist.

boarding school rations

Tiny helpings of food, or revolting quality food. Self-explanatory.

The plaice was three inches long and had a maggot in it. Why are we reduced to these boarding school rations?

grow balls

Command to someone (not necessarily male) to show a bit of backbone.

Nicole's re-landscaped the lawn with forty different awkward pieces of sculpture and you're worried because she's threatening you with all kinds of bullshit if you don't mow it for her. For heaven's sake, Jimmy, grow balls!
