favor-friend

a person who gives you a call or comes to you only when he/she needs a favor and uses the fact that you have a good heart - if he/she doesn't need anything from you, there will be no "how are you?" question or anything, but still this person will pretend that he/she is your great friend;

Bruno: I'm disappointed with my friendship with Alice. I used to believe we were friends, but now I see she's only a favor-friend. It is I who usually starts conversation, who calls, send Christmas wishes, who asks how things are going and so on. She nevers does so. She calls only when she needs something. Sad...

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.

veni, vidi, wiki

refers to a Latin sentence "veni, vidi, vici" - "I came, I saw, I conquered" by Julius Caesar - in this case it means "I came, I saw, I used Wikipedia" ("wiki" instead of "vici") and describes a tendency to look for solution to every problem or answer to any question in Wikipedia without considering any other source;

John: That's a nice essay.
Carl: Veni, vidi, wiki, bro!
John: Veni-what?
Carl: Veni, vidi, wiki. I came, I saw, I used Wikipedia! I just typed the topic and I got all the answers. No library, no sitting with books till midnight. I conquered!
