You know, I like reading my daily newspaper online, but I also like these new magapaper news sites, which are a kind of cross between a newspaper and a magazine. Cool!

the overprivileged class

(n.) -- Those people in any society who are at a huge economic, cultural or moral advantage based on social constructs, ascribed status and/or nationality.

We always hear about the underprivileged class -- those people who have little money and have to struggle all their lives -- but we seldom hear about the overprivileged class: those who have too much money and never have to struggle at all.

Avauntcular

(adj.) Once a woman reaches middle age and her formerly remarkable and youthful good looks have completely lost their edge, she develops an air of such utter harmlessness that she is no longer attractive to men. A woman is described as "avuncular" when she stops looking like a sexual entity and starts looking like her Aunt Betty.

"At my age, with my looks going into their middle-aged stretch, my nieces and nephews now look at me with wonder and refer to me as their 'avauntcular' auntie. I love it!"

-- Overheard when two middle-aged women were chatting near a watercooler at their office on Madison Avenue in New York
