nomokashe

A Japanese omakase (tasting) menu that is so expensive that the diner runs out of money paying for it -- "no more cash!"

Hurt me, I took the client out to his favorite Japanese place in Manhattan and he insisted on the $600 per person tasting menu -- a classic nomokashe event.

hunk rock

A contraction of "humorous punk rock," a musical genre comprising punk rock works intended as parodies of the actual punk oeuvre, which originated with Paloma Music's 1978 release of the vinyl 45 recording "Picked Off the Litter" by John Vomit and the Leather Scabs, a band formed by members of the Stanford Chaparral campus humor magazine, featuring the songs "Punk Rock Star" and "I Suck."

Unbelievable, I just scored a mint-condition copy of the original Hunk Rock record, "Picked Off the Litter," on eBay for only a thousand bucks!

Missal monger

1. A Catholic priest. 2. A zealous Catholic worshipper. From missal (the Catholic book containing the text of prayers, chants, responses and the like used in the Mass) + monger (dealer or broker).

Father Mike is quite the missal monger, he really had folks fired up with that service on Sunday.

In 'N' Out Drive-Thru

Medical vernacular for a colonoscopy (colon) and an upper endoscopy (stomach) performed in one visit to the doctor -- aka the "spit roast."

My gastroenterologist thought it would be a good idea to check both my stomach and my colon, so I had to go in for an In 'N' Out Drive-Thru last week. Came back clean. Are you overdue for yours?

floobydust

Miscellany; flotsam and jetsam. Reportedly, the term originated at National Semiconductor Corporation in the 1970s (about the time that Silicon Valley was first called that).

I thought the key to the shed was in the top kitchen drawer, but there was just the usual floobydust.

amusocompromised

Humorless; dour; unsmiling.

Man, Bill's roommate is severely amusocompromised -- we must have watched six "Seinfelds" last night and the guy didn't crack a smile the whole time.
