Emo grunt

The voiced, gutteral grunt made by someone (typically a preteen child) used to express indignation, or frustration.

Whenever Christie's 11-year-old daughter doesn't get her way, she immediately emo grunts and stomps her foot, as though that's gonna change Christie's decision one bit. Well, sometimes it does.

extended loan

A method of semi-permanently giving something away to someone while reserving your right to ask for it back later if you change your mind.

I gave my first mp3 player to Jim on extended loan, but since my new mp3 player got stolen, I was able to ask for the old one back.

nyo

Almost a yes, but still an answer in the negative. You really want to say 'yes', but for whatever reason you have to say 'no'.

Variants: 'nyope' and 'nyuh-uh'
Antonym: 'nyes'

"Hey, baby, let's get this new 40-inch widescreen television."
*sigh* "Nyope. Can't afford it right now, hon."

Fourth World

Those ethnic groups which reside in the jurisdiction of recognized nations rather than having an independent state of their own. Fourth-world peoples are excluded from positions of power in those governments, and frequently have de facto if not de jure status as second-class citizens or worse.

The Palestinians, Kurds, and Roma are all examples of members of the Fourth World.

jump drive

A hypothetical propulsion technology that allows a vehicle to teleport instantaneously via an artificially-created wormhole.

I bought a jump drive for my car so I could get to work in five minutes.

fair chair

The stamped metal chairs (sometimes padded), usually of a puke-brown or dull gray color, with a seat that folds up that you often encounter en masse at public fairs and other gatherings, outdoor weddings, sit-down concerts, church auditoriums, and so forth. Said chairs are designed to be stackable and often come on large racks. Notorious for getting skin-searingly hot if left exposed in sunlight for any length of time.

I went to a concert this summer and nearly burnt my legs on one of those fair chairs!

snip and tuck

The set of sex change operations changing someone from male to female below the waist. The opposite of an addadicktomy.

After Sam got her snip and tuck, she was much more settled and amiable.
