Woody

An adjective meant to describe a word pleasant to the sound or pronunciation. Opposite of Tinny.

"Yes, you can't beat wood. Gorn."
"What's gone, dear?"
"Nothing, nothing -- just like the word, it gives me confidence. Gorn. Gorn -- it's got a sort of 'woody' quality about it. Gorn. Go-o-orn. Much better than 'newspaper' or 'litter bin'."

Ozploitation

Also known as "Aussiesploitation", Ozploitation is a genre of exploitation film that started in the Australian New Wave Movement, usually films made in Australia that makes use of its wide open spaces along with a vigorous use of sex and violence.

Mark Hartley’s documentary "Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story Of Ozploitation!" offers an historical overview of the Aussie film industry in the ’70s and ’80s, charting what happened after the government introduced a “for mature audiences” rating, along with piles of showbiz-stimulating grant money. Suddenly an army of opportunists emerged—some artists, some con men—to grab the money and run. (The same thing happened in Canada around the same time; that would make a good documentary too.)

Psychovores

An animal or person that eats emotions, psychic energy and mental nutrients.

The terror of their sudden appearance seemed to galvanize the hellish creatures, sharpening their appetites as the air chilled further and the day seemed to turn overcast in moments. Harry didn't even want to contemplate the amount of power needed to do that as more than a hundred starving psychovores bore down on a crowd of schoolchildren.
-- Chapter 39 of "Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Futures Past"

Queer nationalism

The establishment of cultural customs, norms and identity based around the LGBT Community, LGBT Rights and queerness present in the greater national stage.

Not to be confused with Homonationalism.

Homonationalism is using LGBT Rights to justify a culture of injustice.
Queer nationalism is a culture born from LGBT Rights.
Don't confuse the two. Ever.

Post-Ironic Democracy

When you run for office in a Democratic system, lose the vote, declare yourself the winner anyway and accuse everyone else of being the ones in denial.

"Before the election was called, I had a pretty good feeling about it, so I preemptively declare victory and anointed myself an Anarcho-Monarch of Ottowa. Then to my shock and also not shock at all, the elites appointed their own puppet-leader instead, Zed Shabibe. Or something, I dunno, I wasn't paying attention. I'm calling upon my supporters to not recognize the legitimacy of these so-called 'elected officials' unless it's ever me."
-- Jreg satirizing Post-Ironic Democracy in "I Won (And By A Lot)"
