mimioflexion

a picture that exhibits recursion i.e., a picture within a picture within a picture ad infinitum. Examples include the Morton's Salt Girl and the Land O' Lakes Lady.

Stephen Colbert and the Miami Dolphins eschew mimioflexion. It's as though they are thumbing their nose (and flippering their snouts) at the world's mimioflexion enthusiasts.

maypops

offbrand athletic shoes. E.g., Stadias, Zips, Winners, Dart-A-Bouts, Curtsy Times, etc.

I can't believe I lost a tennis match to that bama with those maypops. His shoes had pictures of celery on them.

heister

A basketball player who shoots often even though their tendency is to miss the shots that they take. A heister has a shooter's mentality but not a shooter's ability.

Once Ricky Davis got the ball, I knew it was going up. He is a heister.
