The specialty of doctors who manage the unusual conditions brought on by fame. Entertainment doctors are known for knowing exactly how much morphine to prescribe for a broken nail.
Anna Nicole's doctor specialized in entertainment medicine. I wonder if my insurance covers that?

we get letters

Share definition
When used by a writer (usually a columnist or a blogger), indicates that a description follows of one or more letters to the author that might be considered weird, hostile, or otherwise unusual. Comes from the title of a Perry Como album.
"So he tells me that I'm a bigot because I don't support the rights of husbands to beat their wives. I tell ya, we get letters."

Pat Tillman

Share definition
An NFL player who went to war in Afghanistan before everyone who realized what a disaster it would be, and then died in a pointless friendly fire incident; a man of great courage and conviction, and very little faith.
"Is it true Pat Tillman was an atheist?"
"Well, he didn't go to church, but even if he was, does that make him any less of an American hero?

REBOL

Share definition
An obscure scripting language designed by someone oblivious to the fact that in order to get market share, you have to either own the market (in which case people will buy any shit you put out (Visual Basic anyone?)) or give it away (Perl, which sucks horribly except for everything else out there).
He coded the entire back end up in REBOL, and I had to look it up to even figure out what the hell it was. Then I laughed at him for picking the most obscure language in the book.

reboot

Share definition
1. To restart a computer when it's acting like a little bitch. Common on old Mac and Windows systems, not so common on old Linux boxes, rare on modern computers.

2. To restart a movie, comic, TV, or book franchise in hopes that it won't jump the shark again. Sometimes works spectacularly (Battlestar Galactica). Sometimes falls flat on its face.
1. "If there's an error, we have this routine called panic, and when it is called, the machine crashes, and you holler down the hall, 'Hey, reboot it.'" --Dennis Ritchie

2. I was contemplating the idea of a Knight Rider reboot the other day. Would be interesting, definitely, but would it really be Knight Rider without the Hoff?

daddy shopping

Share definition
Dating when pregnant in hopes of finding a guy who will help you raise your kid after the loser who impregnated you got kicked to the curb. Not exactly wrong, but definitely asking for a lot of frustration.
I liked her, but I was afraid she was daddy shopping. I just couldn't deal with that.

ladies who lunch

Share definition
Rich middle-aged women with no jobs or other meaningful way to occupy their time, who descend on upscale cafes around lunchtime to hang out with each other more because they have nothing better to do than because they like the company. Generally despised by cafe workers.
I don't know why Ina Garten has this "ladies who lunch" persona -- you know she busts her ass when she goes to work.
