druthers

(noun) way or preference

Generally used in the plural. Especially in the phrase:
"If (person) had (posessive adjective) druthers"

Probably originally derived from a contraction of "would rather".
If he had his druthers, I suspect he'd still be in bed.

wechby

An acronym for "Woman Everyone Can Have But You".

Suggesting someone who is an object of fascination and/or obsession, but unobtainable.

Possibly first coined to refer to an archetype in the Unknown Armies roleplaying game.
Example:

Character 1: OMG! Did you see that chick on the bus? She's got everything I need in a woman.

Character 2: Yah, I've seen her around alot before. But seems like she's always in the company of some other guy. I pined after her awhile myself, but eventually just wrote her off as a total WECHBY.

Taxachusetts

A joking or insulting term for Massachusetts.

Derived from tax + Massachusetts.

Specifically alluding to the (possibly correct) idea that state income tax in Massachusetts is significantly higher than the national average.
Seems like every month a fifth of my paycheck goes to government here in Taxachusetts. And come April 15th they'll still want more.

neo-techular

(adj.) having the appearance of newness, futuristic design, and/or technological sophistication, whether or not these qualities are actually present.
Julia's sunglasses struck most of her new friends as neo-techular in design due to their sleek shape and mirrored finish. Little did they know she'd owned this same set of eyewear for five years now and originally bought them from a street vendor for $5.99.

rock on toast

One of the more common extensions of the phrase "on toast", generally used in one of two ways:

Def. 1 (verb): To do something extremely adeptly or well.

Def. 2 (verb): To be exceptionally good or enjoyable.
Def. 1 - Of course Anna wasn't very good at archery the first time she picked up a bow this year, but after a couple months practice she really started to rock on toast during competitions.

Def. 2 - Plush new carpeting, utilities included, central location, and only $450 a month in rent?
Man, your new apartment rocks on toast!

romantica

Romance novels with explicit sex.
Derived from "romance" + "erotica".

In some cases this word has been in a humorous, derrogatory, or ironic way used to point out the fact that certain novels are classified as "romance" and therefor seen as more socially acceptable, while other somewhat similar books are classified as "erotica" and recieve harsher social censure.
So you're looking for regency holiday novels with chaste heroines? It doesn't look like we many in the store. Mostly just romantica I'm afraid.
