earboob

When a woman leans down to hug a young lad or a seated male, his head often turns to the side in expectation of the embrace. The resultant contact is usually ear-to-boob, hence, earboob.
1) "I hate it when grandma hugs me at the dinner table because of the unadvoidable, old-lady earboob.

2) "I love when my Dad's hot, 20 year-old trophy, wife hugs me, but I have to settle on earboob because it would be awkward if I didn't turn my head."

Great minds think alike

An phrase that pseudo-intellectuals, brownnosers or sycophants use to elevate themselves intellectually to another by pretending they think or believe the same as they do when in fact so-called "great minds" set themselves apart from others because they really DON'T think like everyone else.
Intellectual: Since the 1950's, the whole of modern western civilization is based off of one driving concept - consumerism! It is the the reason for all the social ills of modern society. Despite the obvious advances in technology in medicine, agriculture, communications, engineering, and alternative energy we as a people are held back because the power rests in the few with the financial and political influence to keep money where is always has been. This rise in technology should be bettering the minds of the masses, but actually is made to anesthetize them and keep them complacent and lethargic.

Pseudo-intellectual: OMG!! Like...wow! I just said the same thing to my friends at the country club yesterday! I say you can get the same quality with Gucci that they get with Prada for less money. But nobody seems to listen. And...ya know...it sooo, like, frustrating? Great minds think alike, right?

Intellectual: *looks down his nose* You're not even in the same conversation.

marketing machine

The constant, incessant and relentless assult on the senses of the public and individual's alike by the corporate community and/or the government designed to alter, influence and even impair your ability to effect your own unbaised and reasonable needs, wants, and opinions.
1) Modern U.S. corporations spend hundreds of billions of dollars each year to perpetuate the marketing machine in order promote ravenous consumerism to a virtually unchecked capitalistic society that plunders the Earth's resources and harms developing countries.

2) Bush and Cheney employed a massive marketing machine to sell the Iraqi war to the public, promote ongoing fear from 9/11, and shrunk the gap in the separation of church and state in order to get re-elected despite a disasterous 1st term in office.
