vaporwagner 

Music that is heavily hyped but delayed to the point you doubt it will ever be released. A combination of vaporware and 19th-century composer Wilhelm Richard Wagner.

Lil Wayne has a history of vaporwagner projects, so it was somewhat surprising that "Tha Carter III" actually came out.

Evite Exegesis

Analyzing an evite. Despite evites' air of informality, they are often carefully constructed by party planners and thus can be rich with meaning. Nevertheless, it is easy to overthink an evite, whether by incorrectly ascribing intentionality to hastily written remarks, attempting to divine patterns from the ebb & flow of responses, or forgetting to ask yourself the simple question, "Will I have fun?"

No response prompts more evite exegesis than "+ 1 guest."

Jewtaku 

Goyim with a fetish for Jewish people and/or Judaica. Derived from the English appropriation of the Japanese word otaku.

"Jewish" is itself a highly contested term, so someone you view as a Jewtaku may actually self-identify as Jewish.

Not to be confused with a Jewish otaku (aka a jewbaka).

VIE: Elvis was a Jewtaku 'cause he used to wear a chai necklace.
ELI: His mother's mother's mother was Jewish.
VIE: I stand corrected -- Mitochondrial DNA FTW!

mockward 

1) Making a situation more awkward by mocking how awkward it is. The situation need not be awkward in the first place.

Apparently coined by Washington Post columnist Monica Hesse.

2) Mocking someone in an awkward — and thereby probably unsuccessful — manner.

Apparently coined by then-Columbia Journalism Review assistant editor Megan Garber.

Someone asked to define the word "awkward" will often resort to describing the task as "awkward," which is just mockward. When someone does the same with "mockward," it's meta-mockward.

flickr frolic 

The act of absent-mindedly perusing flickr photostreams, often of people you don't know.

When Flickrvision or Tiltviewer bring up something really interesting, Franklyn likes to flickr frolic through those accounts.

factorial funny 

Reading "!" used for punctuation as if they designated the mathematical function factorial.

LEX: I used Yahoo Factorial to look for Panic Fatorial @ The Disco concerts.
IRA: Since when is the word factorial funny?

In Orbit Yellow 

Black people with extremely fair complexions (because they're so HIGH yellow it's like they're in orbit around the earth).

JASON: Why aren't there any Black people in Guitar Hero?
DERON: There's Tom Morello; he's actually Halfrican.
JASON: But he's in orbit yellow; he'd ruin the curve on the brown paper bag test!
DERON: One-drop rule.
