Orwellian Historian

Someone who erases the past to fit their vision of the present. From the George Orwell novel '1984'.
Why dwell on your sad childhood memories? Just have a orwellian historian take your unhappy pictures and home movies and have them destroyed. Then you block them out of your mind for good.

Happy Special Bullshit Day

The ubiquitous holiday that is being looked forward too, because life is so miserable we need holidays to distract us from that fact.
Singing the song" Happy special bullshit day! Bullshit, special, happy day!!"

prostitute

Verbosely defined as someone who sells their own personal morals and/or values for the idea of money, not necessarily for sex.
At work I feel like I prostitute myself, having to agree with my boss, lest he fire my ass.

radio nazi

A play on the 'soup nazi' on Seinfeld. What you are faced with when you try to speak to the host and don't phrase your question the proper way.
When it was my turn to speak, I asked the host, "How are you?" and in radio nazi fashion got booted off the air!

yellow light effect

When a law or rule has the dubious distinction of making you do the opposite of what was intended.
A literal example of the yellow light effect is to speed up when you see a yellow light. Figuratively, you do the opposite.

Puppet Show

Incincere behaviour by a group or individual to abtain either status, approval or money.
Game shows on TV are quite a puppet show. Contestants and their families are encouraged to act outrageously to drum up ratings.

How are you?

The lamest rhetorical question in the English language. Requires the answer of 'Fine' no matter how you feel or why you are going to have a conversation. An exercise for the lips and tongue.
I was dying of cancer and had to see my doctor. He asked me, "How are you?"
