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.

Fifth World 

The internet. So called because it is the 'electronic frontier' not quite under the jurisdiction of any one government, where everyone browses at their own risk and antivirus software is a must.

There are no rules in the Fifth World, netizen.

punctuicon 

From "punctuation emoticon": A smiley used in addition to or instead of traditional punctuation, intended to introduce extra meaning on top of the literal meaning of the sentence in a nonverbal manner.

I told Mike online that he should go DIAF, but I ended my IM with a smiley punctuicon so he wouldn't think I was really that mad at him:

"Go DIAF Mike:)"

handboobs 

The seductive pose assumed by a woman who would otherwise be topless except for covering her breasts with her hands. Often used as a 'substitute' for swimwear or lingerie or in photos of topless models without too great a risk of being censored.

Can also be applied to men with manboobs who assume the same position.

Adult magazine covers with handboobs are a real tease.

bikini flail

(usually plural, ie bikini flails)

The chest of a very well-endowed and skimpily dressed woman, who looks like she could slap you unconscious with them.

I asked Maureen for a closer look at her rack, but she knocked me out with her bikini flails.

prenatal 

Your parents

So named because they existed before your birth

If your prenatals have no children, chances are neither will you.

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.
