celebro

a person who hangs out only with celebrities to get profits from the acquaintance;

Jim won't come with us, he doesn't hang out with people like you and me. He won't even look at you unless you were on the cover of a fashion magazine or something. He's a total jerk and a celebro.

mystifixation

an obsessive desire to present even obvious things as mysterious ones and thus making them unclear and hard to understand just to gain attention of the listeners (from mystification + fixation)

I asked Jeremy about his plans for summer holidays, but I got lost after a couple of seconds he started talking, because he made it so confidential and difficult to understand. It's his mystifixation - a desire to make everything, even simple things, look and sound mysterious.

fall-falling

a state of depression, lack of energy, bad mood and unwillingness to do anything, strongly connected with autumn/fall, raining and cold, windy weather; a kind of seasonal apathy that sometimes also covers winter (when winter looks more like autumn, without snow etc.)

Mark is a cheerful person, great to hang out with, but somehow his mood depends on the weather. When autumn starts, he is in a fall-falling state: does not want to go anywhere, walks around the house without any purpose etc.

no-comments-but-crisis policy

a policy and a way of dealing with one's company that has been widely in use since the media/banks/governments reported a financial crisis; it is a justification for various actions: staff reductions, cancelled payrise, lowered wages though none of these are necessary (because the company is doing well and needs no changes); it is a perfect explanation for everything if your general manager plans to fire some employees/cut wages and needs a good reason;

George: Crap, we're going to have staff reductions!
Will: What?
George: Yup, there were rumors, so we asked our boss about it, and despite good results of our company, half of us is going to be fired. We asked why and we heard that it was due to the financial crisis. End of story. Another example of no-comments-but-crisis policy.

don Clichote

someone who tries to be very orginal all the time and is obssesed with avoiding cliches and keeps correcting other people's words as he/she cannot stand cliches used by them, so his/her life seems to be devoted to the anti-cliche crusade only (the term refers to the character of don Quixote - the main protagonist of "The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha" by Miguel de Cervantes);

Jerry: Mary said she would not get back to the modern poetry classes.
Craig: Why not?
Jerry: When she showed her poem to the teacher, he threw her out of the room for using some of the phrases. He claimed her poem was a bunch of cliches.
Craig: What a don Clichote!
