hive justice

When an online "hive mind" or forum does a vigilante mission in real life, on behalf of victims.

"Dear community. I need some hive justice. I'm facing a lawsuit for $18,000 from a stock photo site that claims I stole one of their photos, when in fact they stole it from me!"

"Oh man, James had so much crap done to him IRL after he posted that YouTube of him abusing a cat. That's some hive justice right there."

lo-ray

Any video that's not stored on blu-ray. Usually means DVD, VCD or anything you downloaded and watched on your computer.

"Did you see Transformers on Blu-Ray?"
"Nah, I saw it on lo-ray."

"Dude, why are you still watching on lo-ray? Go get a PS3 or something, and upgrade your life."

retro-tokenism

Going back to a photograph and photoshopping in a token minority.

This corporate report is a blatant example of retro-tokenism. See that black man there, clearly he was inserted into the picture after the fact for political correctness.

shoot your cuffs

A male preening gesture, whereby a man wearing a suit extends both his arms rapidly outwards (i.e. shoot), so that his dress shirt sleeves extend nicely beyond his suit sleeves.

Ready for the big dance? You look good in that suit. Shoot your cuffs for me. There, much better.

holiday friends

friends with whom your entire social interaction is based on seeing them at special occasions.

I don't remember the last time I saw Jessica. I think it was on Fat Tuesday, or wait, was it on Memorial Day? Nah, maybe it was New Years? I'm not sure, maybe all of them, I guess we're holiday friends.

Viraled

To be the unwitting propagator of a viral marketing scheme.

Dude, it turns out that video you sent me is fake! It's part of one of Pepsi's new marketing schemes. You got viraled!

willful Philistinism

Being proud of enjoying something that is frowned upon by the cultural elite.

"Call me a willful Philistine, but I think McDonald's has the best french fries bar none!"

"I know I'm a music snob, but I love Britney Spears. That's my willful Philistinism."

Example of willful Philistinism: "I may not know art, but I know what I like."
