Vienna moment

The dawning realisation that you don't know what's going on in any given situation. Line from the 1980s Ultravox song 'Vienna':

Oh Vienna, this means nothing to me.
During the Q&A a professor asked an obscure question and as he was talking I was having a total Vienna moment.

A fervent popular activist. Someone who gets very animated and active over fashionable causes such as the political prisoner du jour, climate change, Darfur or whatever is fashionable to be outraged about. Heart in the right place, and will tell you all about it whether or not you want to hear it.
How's Jessica?
Usual, gave me on Darfur when she dropped off some low-energy light bulbs as a gift.
She's such a passionista.

appolyte

Slavish devotee to Apple products from the ipod the Mac. Steve Jobs is their messiah and will fiercely defend him.
Usually dressed in a black polo-neck.
Steve Jobs released the iPad in San Francisco. It looked just like an iphone except it was bigger, heavier, harder to transport, more expensive and did less things. The assembled appolytes salivated nonetheless.

Thank Jobs there was someone who understood them and didn't just produce another useless 'gadget' they said. The appolytes were pleased.
