tentcity

n. A short street-wise variation on "intensity" tailored for the Occupy Wall Street protest and similar movements where "occupations in tents" occur. The implication is that more and more dwellers showing up, with their tents, signs and badly-tuned guitars, will strenghthen the movement.

.............................

Man, this protest is never going nowhere unless we can turn up the tentcity.

Yeah the tentcity got to be strong if we are going to stick it to the man.

What! I'll cut you fool! I'll take your tongue!
Don't disrespect the way I've sung!

Word up.

verbal warming

noun phrase. A term describing the accelerating increase in the number of words in the world and the resultant accumulation of verbiage that threatens to drown us all. Some lexicolonogists deny that it's happening or attribute it to non-human factors such as rogue computer programs.

.

Leapstand? Ollieollieoxenfree? Yardening? What is up with all these new words? Some days If I don't use my asthma medication I can't breathe when I read my e-mail.

You mean you can't ox-in unless you drughale? That's just verbal warming. You should move your computer to a higher floor and buy some flood sacks.

West Duck Hollow

place. Isolated hamlet in Alberta, Canada, that, fueled by high profits, fueled by high ethylene prices, has been riding high on the hog without the sponsorship of big gravel. Free from the doldrumic influence of East Duck Hollow since the partition of 1948 the vibrant citizenry of West Duck Hollow have been kindling the fires of progress in their matchless march to the future of petrochemical dominance-related carbon-footprinting. It is a place free from zoning restrictions where people can occupy a public park with tents, signage, muffins, and no clear purpose.

Clear cutting by a forward-thinking Tourism Council allows views of Ponoka, from which the Rocky Mountains can be seen. An interpretive center is planned for the tourist kiosk which is planned for the fall of 2015.

Lumberjack competitions and fencing exhibitions, often between gangs of tree-toughs from the various hamlets in the greater Duck Hollow region, provide much of the business at the local medical office.

.............................

West Duck Hollow sure has some pretty vistas. You can sure see that this is a place that owns some nice Ethylene deposits and doesn't depend on gravel sluicing for its tax dollars.
