photoshoppery

Highly manipulated photograph or photographs, created using the Adobe Photoshop software. The results usually fool the eye into thinking that the photoshopped image is a single original photograph. If on the internet, created with a satirical or humourous intent. If in print, often referring to illicit manipulation of a photojournalism image.

kindergoth

A Goth Girl who is under age 14. Not a label for a brain-dead follow-my-leader girl - a kindergoth does the whole Goth thing with a touch of irony yet listens to Wagner and reads Gormenghast too.

(Minor alternative use: name used by some immature 'mature' goths to deride young 'new goths'. Kindergoth is used by them as an equivalent to 'newbie' or 'plastic punk').

See also: babygoth, baby-bats, kinderwhore, pixie.

"Gloom County's resident kindergoth reads a lot of Sandman."
