Mook

Minor, canon fodder villains in a TV show, like the foot clan in ninja turtles, the sword wielding henchmen of Oren in Kill Bill or stormtroopers in star wars. They don't have names and frequently don't have visible faces on screen. They exist to give the heroes someone to fight and show off their arete or powers.

The heroes cut down dozens of mooks as they fought their way into the villains sanctum.

sad camp

The psych ward, the place you get sent to when you want to kill yourself.

I was going to jump off the roof of my building but I went to sad camp instead. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

queer baiting

When a politician, pundit, or other public figure brings up the completely irrelevant detail about a person's sexuality, true or untrue, as a way of subtly channeling homophobia to attack them.

Compare race baiting

"Oh yeah? Well, Tom Smith, the gay man who supported the new bill has no idea what he is talking about."
"You're queer baiting"
