elonish 

Elonish, is the idea that we will be a cosmic race soon.

Years down the line when technology is Elonish, I will use my Bitcoin to fund a generational starship and the Elonish colonists it will carry to new worlds in space.

Karachi crouch 

noun: Diarrhoea or dysentry contracted by inflicting spicy Pakistani or Indian food upon an unconditioned constitution.
See: Delhi belly, Montezuma's revenge, The Sepia Mutiny, Traveller's Trots

Montezuma’s revenge and Karachi crouch, just two of the more publishable synonyms for traveller’s diarrhoea, is an almost universal experience for those travelling to more exotic parts of the world.

The Sepia Mutiny 

Diarrhoea, dysentry inflicted upon the gora sahib's (White master) constitution by vengeful and spicy Indian food presumably because he failed to show adequate appreciation for the khansama's (cook) skills or caused offense in some other manner.

Afflicted with a bad case of the Speia Mutiny, John Bull struggled to maintain his composure as he hunted desperately for the nearest Western potty.

flickrazzi

Enthusiastic photo-taking users of the Flickr photo-sharing service, who descend without warning upon unsuspecting Ludicorp developers and other Flickrati for the purpose of taking candid photographs.

What? You haven't taught the bouncer how to deal with Flickrazzi?!!

Flickrati 

Highly fashionable users of the Flickr photo-sharing service; the smart set of Flickr users; users well versed in the technology and culture of Flickr.

I love the flickrati!

But since the T.O.U. themselves can be pretty much bent to the will of the flickrati when and as they see fit, it's a small point.
