Elder Wear 

Frustrating and unusual wear on items caused by poor vision and or reflexes of the elderly, ironically found on things usually very well maintained and otherwise gingerly used.
"See that '92 acura? it's got only 34 thousand miles on it and complete service records, too bad about the Elder Wear at all four corners from sad attempts to park it".

Saturn Car 

An annoyingly P.C. car line that pretenses to be the Macintosh of automobiles but in fact is the Windows of such. A car designed with no consideration for the driver or owner. A car for people that would rather not be bothered with driving but have no choice. A conveyance slightly more dignified and gratifying than the bus.
Look at all those saturn cars in the employee lot of the Technology Park!

Nadhere (nadhesion)

N.The effect of ones scrotum sticking to ones leg for any reason.
Knowing that my goods might nadhere to my thigh,I wisely chose to wear briefs instead of boxers.

Women in Crisis Channel (see lifetime TV)

The cable tv channel marketed to women showing one insipid movie after another about a woman who finds herself in a compromising or dangerous situation that she barely escapes, and could have avoided altogether had she just used her head.
Hey, lets watch some washed up sitcom actresses on the Women in Crisis Channel!

Overcoat Show (see X Files) 

N.TV noir- extranatural crime drama with characters clad in overcoats in seemingly all climates. Also a near decade long history of the miniaturization of cellphone tecnology.
TNT inserts commercials in strange places in reruns of the overcoat show.

Shrapnel 

Coins given as a tip- Annoying or inconvenient change.
That party of cubicle dwellers from the phone company tipped me a buck 75 in shrapnel!
