Adamlance

Any prolonged LiveJournal fight that includes the principal parties and their extensive networks of allies. Often, an Adamlance will utilize the posting of comments by the different participants as a way to argue, harass, and gossip about each other. Such battles have been in existence since the beginning of LiveJournal, but the term Adamlance came into popular usage in the Mid-Michigan area after an especially visceral fight between Adam Lamblin and Lance Ferris.

Person 1: "Whoa did you see that Adamlance on Josh's journal entry from last week?"

Person 2: "Heck yeah, there were over 50 comments!"

Dawsonesque

Typically used of a television show. Of or resembling the characters, events, writing style, or unique elements of the Dawson's Creek television series.

Many parts of that new series "The O.C." strike me as particularly Dawsonesque; especially the friendship between Seth and Ryan, as it parallels the relationship between Dawson and Pacey.
