hypecast

A portmanteau of hype and typecast, hypecasting is where a company adopts a popular song as a theme song for its commercials, running them for so long a period of time or so frequently that whenever one hears the song, one cannot help but think of the company who co-opted it. Often the corporation will take a specific line of the song and focus on that section of the song to the exclusion of the rest of its lyrics, effectively "typecasting" the song as the theme song of said company, overruling the song's original message.

Bob Seger's song "Like a Rock" got hypecast by Chevrolet.

middlicious

(adj.) Combination of the words "middle" and "delicious": food which is neither extraordinarily tasty nor truly awful, but simply common, average, or adequate-quality cuisine. Often filling and good enough to eat if you're hungry, but you'd pass it up for *real* food.

Most store-bought pizza isn't superb, just middlicious. Believe me, I've had worse delivered.

crudware

A computer application so ineptly designed that you decide you don't really need what it does, *that* badly.

I could really use a mail program, but I'm not desperate enough to get mail to want to use that piece of crudware called Microsoft Outlook.

skippy list

A list of things you're not allowed to do. Popularized by a website made by a military personnel listing all the things he was no longer allowed to do in the military.

The first rule on Fight Club's skippy list is "you're not allowed to talk about Fight Club".

most-wanted deck

A deck of cards (usually an ordinary set of 52 or 54 playing cards) on which is printed the names and photos of individuals considered by the card printer to be important persons to commit to memory, to make it easier to find and capture them (or kill them).

The official military term for this is "personality identification playing cards".

For the Second Gulf War, Coalition troops were given personality identification playing cards with the names and pictures of Iraq's most wanted.

I could tell the most-wanted deck I got on E-bay wasn't authentic, because while Saddam Hussein was the Ace of Spades, Tariq Aziz was the Eight of Clubs.
