An undefinable, nebulous aura of irresistable sexual attraction that may affect either sex, and which seems to beyond the control of the one posessing it.
She turned to say good-night, and I leaned over to give her a chaste, friendly kiss on the cheek. Next thing I knew, we were kissing passionately, deeply, and my hands were wandering over her voluptuous body. I had succumbed to the power of her kevorka.

To refuse to answer the question you are asked, and rather answer the questions you wish you'd been asked.
The vice-presidential candidate palinated in response to many of the debate questions.
GWEN IFILL: Governor, please if you want to respond to what he said about Senator McCain's comments about health care?
SARAH PALIN: I would like to respond about the tax increases. We can speak in agreement here that darn right we need tax relief for Americans so that jobs can be created here. Now, Barack Obama and Senator Biden also voted for the largest tax increases in U.S. history. Barack had 94 opportunities to side on the people's side and reduce taxes and 94 times he voted to increase taxes or not support a tax reduction, 94 times.
Now, that's not what we need to create jobs and really bolster and heat up our economy. We do need the private sector to be able to keep more of what we earn and produce. Government is going to have to learn to be more efficient and live with less if that's what it takes to reign in the government growth that we've seen today. But we do need tax relief and Barack Obama even supported increasing taxes as late as last year for those families making only $42,000 a year. That's a lot of middle income average American families to increase taxes on them. I think that is the way to kill jobs and to continue to harm our economy.

An engineering term referring to the process of examining a product, process, or system for defects, fixing the defects, then repeating as new defects appear, instead of re-engineering the solution with fewer defects.
"In other words, you attack your firewall / software / website / whatever from the outside, identify a flaw in it, fix the flaw, and then go back to looking. One of my programmer buddies refers to this process as 'turd polishing' because, as he says, it doesn't make your code any less smelly in the long run but management might enjoy its improved, shiny, appearance in the short term.
