Innisfailure
A shameful display of blaming everyone else, other than one's own short-comings, after a bitter defeat.
The Innisfail State High School representatives at the 1987 Peninsula Region titration competition were humiliated in their loss to the Smithfield State High School representatives. The accusations of tampering with the titrant and buret only reinforce the episode as an Innisfailure.

Black Neville
1. A subconcious attempt to inflame a chronic turrette sufferer by confusing a surname with an adjective.
2. A bizarre hieroglyph that mysteriously appears in concrete after alumina refinery expansions. Not unkin to the appearance of crop circles.

obviousism
An explanation offered with little clarity, to which the listener is met with a scoff and expression of disdain when requesting further detail.
