Lady Chevalier's definitions
A period of roughly six weeks, lasting from the end of November to some time in January. It includes a number of religious holidays, traditional celebrations, and family visits. It is generally accepted to be both the best part of the year (for people under the age of fifteen) and the worst part of the year (for people over the age of fifteen).
Includes: Thanksgiving, Hannukah, Advent, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, the Winter Solstice, St. Nick's Day, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Winter Break (for students), and a number of others.
Sometimes used (as "Happy Holidays") as a politically correct (race, creed, and nationality-neutral) phrase on cards and decorations.
Also known as "International Muzak Month" due to the unwavering propensity of shopping establishments to assault their customers' ears with instrumental version of "Do You Hear What I Hear," "Jingle Bell Rock," and "White Christmas" for the entire six-week period.

If I hear "The Little Drummer Boy" one more time, I swear I'm going to snap. I didn't mind this as a kid, but ever since I turned fifteen, boy! I hate the holidays.

Wal*Mart is a universally loathed chainstore, commonly described as catering to white trash and being solely responsible for the collapse of western civilization. The implication is that only the lowest of the low shop or work there; thus, Wal*Mart rejects (those who cannot get a job there or shoppers who have been banned from the premises) must truly be among the worst examples of humanity.
The phrase is used both by people who shun Wal*Mart and those who shop there, as everyone can relate to it.

Some Wal*Mart reject tried to chat me up at the club last night. Can you say gross?
No wonder we can't hire anyone! The only people who'd work for this pay are Wal*Mart rejects!

Wow! I had no idea that accurately graphing parabolas could be so easy! This TI-83 is my new best friend!

Taking from "the new black," (a phrase originally meaning "the latest, hottest trend in fashion"), the new monkey works on the idea that for several years now monkeys have pervaded every corner of the internet--as mascot, icon, part of a slogan, or in some other aspect.
"The new monkey," therefore, would be the next big thing.
Usage note: "The new monkey" refers to things that are in some way parallel to monkeys. Thus, bananaphones could be "the new monkey," but the bananaphone flash movie could not.
For this reason (lack of a parallel), All Your Base is not the new monkey. Neither are monkeys the new AYB. (I suppose it could be argued that the Banaphone flash movie is the new AYB, but we all know that's simply not the case.)

Get the the new monkey mug.Noun, plural. Part of the eternal quest to find an appropriate word for a number of moose: large, rocktacious creatures that have a cult following but no appropriate plural noun.
Due to the growing number of moosii references seen in the last year or two, it has been suggested by moosii enthusiasts that moosii will be the new monkey Realists note that moosii's noted lack of opposable thumb (and therefore poo-flinging) may hinder this.
Of the available possible plurals for moose, Moosii is clearly the most superior. It beats out moosen, mooses, and meese by far.
