grammer nazis

Those people whose greatest thrill in life is pointing out that the correct spelling is, in fact, grammar nazis.
I prefer the term Grammar Mongol, myself. Nazi is a little cliché these days.

turn on a penny

To have a turning radius slighty larger than that of a dime, but smaller than that of a nickel.

Not as impressive as being able to turn on a dime, but still, not bad.
My new car goes from 0 to 58 in a really short amount of time, and can turn on a penny.

madison

Capital of Wisconsin and home to UW-Madison, one of the nation's top party schools. Renowned also for its Halloween celebrations, which for the last few years have ended in drunken riots.

Due to this reputation, the word is used at other schools as a synonym for "extremely drunk."
Frank: Hey, we're going out to get trashed. Wanna come?
Ernest: No, man, I was totally madison last night.

discombobulate

One of those rare and wonderful words that means exactly what it sounds like. There is no word more onomatopoeic to confusion than discombobulate.

Also, a one-word admonition to Robert for being tardy to a seventies dance party.
I'm all discombobulated.

Disco? Mm, Bob--you late.

50's Man

A wholesome-looking black and white clip art character that has been used in recent years to humorously promote drugs, violence, and alcohol.

By this point in time, he's a seedy cliché seen on out-of-style book covers, posters, and T-shirts. It's not funny anymore, guys. It doesn't make you trendy or ironic, and you're not sticking it to anything.

It just makes you look like an idiot who gets off on beating dead horses.
50's Man has now gone out of style twice. He is so 2003.

rocktacious

adj. Excellent, fantastic.

Derived from the verb "to rock" (to be excellent). Appending the common English suffix "acious," the word becomes an adjective meaning roughly "the quality of one who rocks."

May also be used as an interjection.
Rocktacious! I just bought a whole chocolate factory with no money down!

I rock; therefore, I am rocktacious.

weeble

A wobbly (but unfallydowny) toy from back in the day. (Actually, it originated in the 70's, which is well before MY 'back in the day,' but I can pretend to be cool and know what I'm talking about.) (And anyway, Playskool still makes incarnarnations of the darn things.)

While I never had Hasbro's brand name Weebles, I did play with a DIY version my uncle made for me. It involved a purple plastic easter egg (you know, the kind you get three jelly beans in) with a penny taped inside the bottom half and a rather frightening face drawn on in Sharpie. Basically, like the actual Weeble, you could bat it around and it would always right itself. It wasn't that far off from the real thing, either.

Being a somewhat belligerent child, I took the slogan as a personal affront, and spent many hours (well, at least twenty minutes trying to devise ways to MAKE THE DARN THING STAY TIPPED OVER. Gluing it to the table might have worked, but I was caught before the elmer's had set. Would that I were still so carefree!

Admittedly not a hugely challenging idea for a toy, but hey.
Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down!

Distracted Father: *calling from the next room* Janie? Janie, did you take my superglue?
Slightly Creepy Child: *loudly and sweetly* No, Daddy!
Distracted Father: Huh. *goes to the basement to check his toolbox for the fourth time*
Slightly Creepy Child: *stashes tube of epoxy, glaring at newly-inverted Weeble the entire time* Take that, you demonic ovoid spawn of hell.
