googlespace

The sum total of everything that can be found by Google. If it's not in Googlespace, you'll never find it.

I just put up a new web page, but it's not in Googlespace yet.

iced tea

A uniquely American drink that apparently tea drinkers outside the US just don't get. Both refreshing and caffeinated, but be careful what you order -- Southerners like it really, really sweet.

Ah, iced tea. My wirewater of choice.

brown note

As referenced in South Park, a low-pitched sound that can cause someone to crap their pants. May also be used to refer to any infrasound note that can create disorientation, nausea, etc.

I'm not so sure using the brown note on those protesters was a good idea. They're still rioting and now they smell like they need a diaper change.

Omnicause

A sarcastic term for the belief system of leftists who are unable to pick battles they can win, and who get sulky and bitter when they can’t get support from outside their circles. Turn-ons: Revolution, guillotines, ratfucking liberals. Turnoffs: Allies, pragmatism, anything less than complete victory (but only on their terms).

No, you’re missing the point. I support what you support, but I’m not voting for you because you tie everything into the Omnicause, and you will never get anything done like that.

manpurse

A bag carried by a man to hold his stuff. Some people consider it a little effeminate, others don't really care. The ones who don't care are usually the ones who actually have a manpurse.

Well, yeah, I do carry a frame pack around with me almost everywhere I go. It's my manpurse.

vein opener

A song, story, or other work of art so abjectly depressing that it makes you want to hide all the sharp objects.

I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to put Paula Cole's classic 90s vein opener "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?" on a mix for listening to in the car. Totally inappropriate.

Blu-Ray

The very definition of a mixed blessing. On the one hand, 25GB of data storage and the ability to record four hours of high definition video, all on a disc the same size as a DVD or CD. On the other hand, DRMed to the teeth and boobytrapped to boot.

You don't think $750 for a Blu-Ray drive is too much, do you? I got some movies to make.
