Twitter Critter

3. Someone who believes they are the center of the universe, despite abundant evidence to the contrary.
Tim has become a Twitter Critter. He can't keep anything private anymore. I wish he'd get a life!

Completely Unfounded

1. A legal term that means: "We did it, but you can't prove it. And even if you CAN prove it, we'll drag out the litigation until your great-grandchildren are dead."

Corporate attorneys frequently use this phrase to defend their clients against civil lawsuits. And they get $500 a hour for this nonsense?

2. A kneejerk reaction to any accusation of white collar crime.
The attorney for Goldman Sachs said the government's fraud charges were "Completely Unfounded." After the press conference, he laughed all the way to the bank.

Comp Call

1. A compensation foul in football. The officials sometimes "call" a foul on team B in order to make up for a questionable foul against team A earlier in the game.

2. The unwritten law of refereeing: If you make a mistake that hurts team A, try to make up for it by calling a foul against team B later in the game. Wait at least 3:00 on the game clock so the "comp call" isn't blatantly obvious.

3. A foolish attempt to "balance" the impact of poor officiating in a high school football game.
Did you see that procedure foul on Central High in the second quarter? It was an obvious comp call to make up for that ridiculous holding call against Lakewood in the first quarter.

Brees Bomb

1. A lightning-fast, incredibly accurate pass from Drew Brees, quarterback of the New Orleans Saints.

2. The weapon that propelled the Saints to victory in Superbowl XLIV.
The Colts thought they had the game sewn up in the first half until the Saints started pummeling them with a flury of Brees Bombs. By the end of the fourth quarter, the vaunted air war was over and New Orleans had won by 14 points. Who dat!

Androit

1. A person who is especially "adroit" at using the Android operating system from Google -- a powerful OS designed for cell phones and other mobile devices.

2. Showing talent, skill or cleverness in the use of the Adroid OS, particularly in the development of new mobile applications.

3. The next wave of geek multi-millionaires.
"Oh, Jeremy, you're such an Androit! Do you work for Google or do you just have some sort of weird innate talent for mobile apps?"

"I was born to hack code. Stick with me, baby, and we'll change the world."

Republic

Contrary to right-wing propaganda, a Republic is indeed a form of representative Democracy in which ordinary people elect officials to represent them in a legislature or parliament. Simply put, a Republic is the "what" and a Democracy is the "how." It's been that way since the Roman Republic was established in 509 B.C.

The notion that Democracy is a mob-rule involving direct citizen voting on every issue is a distortion spread by idiots like Tom Tancredo and radical ideologues like Pat Buchanan. They don't like the term "Democracy" because it reminds them of the Democratic party.

The opposite of a Republic is a Monarchy, not a Democracy.
"You know we have a Republic, not a Democracy, right?"

"You must be an intern at Fox News."

Minute Money

1. Cash that's urgently needed (usually by a teenager) to purchase additional cell phone minutes. 2. The reason why pre-paid cell phones are so cheap.
"Dad! I need some Minute Money so my girlfriend can text me after the party tonight."
