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.

homeopathic intelligence 

The sort of intelligence possessed by narcissists who spend half the time guffing about how mentally developed they are and spend the other half making the same stupid mistakes ... again and again and again. From the so-called Law of Infinitesimals followed in preparing homeopathic doses, which alleges that the more medicine there is in the medicine, the less medicine there is in the medicine, and vice versa.
Sarah told me how stupid all her classmates are, and then went off to shell out for another month of mildew under her cowboy landlord. She has plenty of intelligence, does ol' Sarah, but I'm afraid it's mostly homeopathic intelligence.

pseudoccultonym 

Name that sounds or looks so weird that you suspect it must be something else spelled backwards. Only it isn't.
I thought Seredip Posankul sounded weird so I turned it round to see what it said and ended up with luknasoP pidereS. It's obviously just a pseudoccultonym.

serendipity 

Something pleasant or useful found while looking for something else. Inspired by a Persian fairy story, "The Three Princes of Serendip".
I initially wanted to date Moira, but she turned out to be an awful bore and she snorted when she laughed, which I can't stand. She did however get me in touch with a car dealer who makes really cool custom cars, top quality and dirt cheap, three of which I bought within a year. That was a real piece of serendipity.

Llanfairpwllgwyngychgogerychwyrn - drobwllllantisiliogogogoch 

Village in North Wales, close to a railway line that runs from Holyhead to Crewe. Rumoured to contain the only railway station in Europe where the name plate is longer than the platform. No, don't ask me how to pronounce it. It's not supposed to have a hyphen either, but Urban Dictonary insisted on it.
No, I haven't been to Llanfairpwllgwyngychgogerychwyrn - drobwllllantisiliogogogoch.

wingnutscrewballsup

Extreme form of wingnut or screwball. Used of such varied figures as Timothy Treadwell, Anne Coulter or Fred Phelps, as well as countless less famous or infamous personalities.
After decades of fad diets, an addiction to homeopathy and an unbreakable certainty that the world is jointly in the hands of the Jews, the Masons, the Rosicrucians and green lizards from zeta reticuli f, you can understand that my sister is a complete wingnutscrewballsup.
