Vatication

When the Pope abdicates the the Chair (cathedra) of Peter before his natural death, the Emeritus Pope is said to be on permanent Vatication.

Vatication is like the ultimate staycation, since it is a vacation in the Vatican taken on a permanent basis by Emeritus Pope.
Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI starts his permanent Vatication on February 28, 2013, the day he abdicates the pontifical throne, doffs his signature red Prada loafers, and his papal ring is destroyed.

Turkpocalypse

Turkpocalypse is another word for the United States civic holiday, Thanksgiving.

Turkpocalypse refers particularly to the large-scale killing of turkeys in preparation for the Thanksgiving celebration, since turkey is the most common main dish served at the central meal to which the celebration is largely dedicated each November.
In a silly display of tradition, every year the President of the United States 'pardons' at least one turkey, saving it from its otherwise certain doom with the annual arrival of Turkpocalypse.

One side-effect of Turkpocalypse is a nationwide tryptophan-induced, after-dinner nap while watching the game on TV.

outvisible

(adj.) Outvisible is the opposite of invisible-- the opposite of the kind of invisibility that is enforced by oppressive social structures. The term, "out" is a common shortening of the colloquialism, "out of the closet" often used to refer to lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) persons who do not hide their sexual orientation or gender identity. That use of the term, "out" is prefixed to the word "visible" to express a life lived with honest openness, especially in, but not limited to, the LGBT Community.

variation: outvisibility (n.)
That queer activist is awesomely outvisible.

The Gay Pride Festival and Gay Pride Parade are fabulous outvisible events each summer.

Elton John and Ellen DeGeneres have been outvisible for decades.

elauction

When elected office is up for bid, up for being bought by the highest bidder, an elauction is under way.

Elauction indicates the primary role of money (and the principal bearers of money known as billionaires) in supposedly democratic elections.

The term, elauction, represents how the oligarchy, known these days as billionaires (or Billionaire Overlords) is able to buy elections.
When $100 million is spent to prop up a Governor who has been subjected to a recall, while a paltry $4 million is spent by the challenger, we are certainly witnessing an elauction.

When each candidate is a mere face, a mere facade for billionaire backers, an elauction is under way.

Who will win the elauction? The highest bidder, or the highest so-called 'contributor' will of course buy the elauction.
