ophthalmophobia

Fear of going to see an eye specialist.
He's got a bad case of ophthalmophobia. He's not going to have his eyes checked. He'd rather have cataracts.

Frank

The anthropomorphic rabbit in Richard Kelly's first directed feature film, Donnie Darko. Frank is played in the movie by James Duval. Think three parts Harvey to two parts Darth Vader. Frank knows so many things, including when the world will end.
Some Frank quotes:

"Twenty-eight days, six hours, forty-two minutes and twelve seconds. That is when the world will end." (Note; the numbers add up to eighty-eight. The movie is set in the year 1988. Also the movie was filmed over twenty-eight days. Make of it what you like.)

The Ring

1. The One Ring created by the Dark Lord Sauron in Tolkein's Lord of the Rings "to bring them all/ and in the darkness bind them/ in the Land of Mordor/ where the shadows lie."

2. Kick-ass horror movie which manages to be an improvement on both the Japanese original and its own sequel. Concerns a video tape which (indirectly) kills its viewers by attracting their way the attention of a little girl you REALLY do NOT want to meet. You've probably heard the sting in the tail, so I won't mention it here.
Always the Nazgul are drawn to the Ring.

Answering machine message inspired by The Ring:

"Hello, you have just contacted the Morgan Family Bloodstock Company, Moesko Island. Unfortunately Samara can't come crawling out of your television just at the moment, but if you leave your name, number and details of the video after the tone, she promises to get in touch with you some time next week. Sweet dreams."

Gender Factuality Paradox

The Gender Factuality Paradox is that unsolved mystery encapsulated in the question, "If a man says something and the nearest woman is 120 miles away and listening to the Bee Gees, is he still wrong?"
The Gender Factuality Paradox is set to have Gender Studies MA students scuppered this year.

doughnutting

Practice used in televised sessions in the UK's House of Commons (and other places) of surrounding the speaker at any one time with a coterie of camp followers who would yell "hear hear" and other such things. This would hopefully work to distract the cameraman's attention from the facts that firstly, most of the seats in the chamber would be empty, and secondly most of the remainder would be occupied by MPs who were filling in crosswords, sleeping, or otherwise unengaged in parliamentary business.
Expect lots more doughnutting around Gordon Brown in the next year or two.

heart

An organ with two functions: firstly, pumping blood around the body: secondly, getting its owner in trouble.
Follow your heart, but wear a helmet.
