wakemare 

A "bad dream"-like state that occurs when you're not actually asleep yet, or when you've just awoken.

"Holy jumpin', I had a bad wakemare this morning. Tried to get out of bed, but couldn't shake terrible thoughts about tax bills and evil cucumbers".

gimme registry 

A wedding and/or baby shower gift registry, a list of demanded items from guests. Especially and increasingly favoured by millennials, in which they guilt attendees into buying expensive things they can't afford.

"Man! Did you see Jordan and Jenna's gimme registry? There's nothing under five-hundred bucks! I bought the breadmaker. What did you get?"

foroscope 

A weather forecast that might as well be a horoscope. I.e., the "meteorologist" has zero idea how your day will go when it comes to climate, but makes a bold prediction, anyway - which is almost always wrong.

Foroscope example: "It's going to be minus-fifty on Tuesday, so bundle up!", when it actually turns out to be sunny and warm.
