GREATEST DEPRESSION
GREATEST DEPRESSION by Joe Neubarth February 9, 2009
helicopter parent
An individual parent who hovers over their child well into adulthood. Very seldom are there two helicopter parents in one family. One is enough to hover and annoy their thirty or forty year old "child" to the point of extreme exasperation.
He's forty two years old, but his "helicopter parent" mother comes over every day to make certain that absolutely everything in his life is right. (This includes selecting the right food, clothes, furnishings, girlfriends, friends, and job that her darling son has.)

digital immigrant
Somebody who has popped up on an Internet site because of clicking on a link (sometimes accidentally). They don't have the slightest idea where they are at, but read the site information out of curiosity, and occasionally buy items if they are listed for sale.
A lot of digital immigrants have popped up on my site. I'm getting rich because they are buying my books!

Internet Zombie
A person who is in need of sleep who is mindlessly surfing the Internet. Usually an insomniac who gave up tossing and turning in bed and who turned on the computer to have something to do.
I have got to see my doctor about stronger sleeping pills. I was up all night doing the Internet Zombie thing. Gosh, I think I bought four or five things last night but I won't even know what they are until they arrive in the mail.

Sichuan Sheet
Named after the region in China where H5N1 Bird Flu crossed over into all manner of animals (and humans) and killed them after an outbreak at Qinghai Lakes.
When that happened, the Chinese tried to cover it up by claiming it was "Streptococcus Suis" a (mild bacterial infection that usually does not kill) To honor their "SS" the term "Sichuan Sheet" was coined to highlight the coverup attempt. A sheet is a thin coverup that can be seen through.
Sichuan Sheet is the highly lethal post Qinghai Lakes strain of Bird Flu that is killing humans to the west and south of China.

Those people in Turkey and Iraq are all dying of Sichuan Sheet. When are they going to get a vaccine?

Sichuan Sheet
H5N1 Bird Flu after it evolved (at Qinghai Lakes in China) into the most lethal strain of virus. It is a "killing machine" that kills all manner of animals and is sweeping the world.
"Sichuan Sheet is estimated to have already killed over twenty thousand Chinese, millions of cows, pigs, monkeys, dogs, cats, and over one hundred million birds of all varieties."
"Yes, of all the Bird Flu strains, it is the worst, by far!"
