Hopsydoodle

When one becomes so excited one cannot contain oneself and bursts into an involuntary “happy dance” ala Snoopy's classic dance for his supper bowl.
Example:“You see them horses hopsydoodle into that pasture soon as you opened that gate!” or... A wife, upon rejoining her newlywed husband, following the consecration of their nuptials, and witnessing him doing an “end zone dance” in the kitchen (but unaware he had just seen his favorite team score on ESPN) remarks seductively, "Well... aren't we a little hopsydoodle this morning!"

Obamnotized

(oh-bahm-noh-tyzed) Someone who is so deeply under the mesmerizing, hypnotic, spell of Barack Obama, they don’t even realize they’ve listened to him for two hours and he hasn’t actually said anything! “Hope, Change, Hope for Change, Change we can Believe in, Hopefully, while Changing Hope into Dreams, and Dreams into Change, and Change into… Yes We can… We Can Hope for Change!”
Example: “I’m sayin’ the chick is totally Obamnotized! When she tossed her thong onto the stage at his last rally, I said, Girl what the hell are you doing? And all she did was drool and mumble, Obama… Obama… Obama…!”

Odabamanity

(Oh-dah-bah-man-ity) My toddler’s rendition of my wife’s favorite phrase from the ‘Hindenburg Disaster’… “Oh the humanity!”… used (in my wife’s context) as a lamentation for anything, and everything, that tests your mettle.
Example: Standing in line for the “Teacups” at Disneyland, my wife reads a small sign, “From this point your wait is 45 minutes.” To which my toddler Hayley announced in a loud voice, “ODABAMANITY!”

Chicken-Littled

Convincing people something is happening… when it isn't. “The sky is falling” syndrome.
Example: “Dude... you totally chicken-littled that prof when you busted that fire alarm... I mean shit Bra.... did you ever see anybody run so fast?”
