Lackluster

An expensive Hollywood film of little consequence or entertainment value that does poorly at the box office--not even as noteworthy as a box office bomb. The antithesis of a blockbuster.

miva

A male performer who thinks he's fantastic, but in reality is simply a legend in his own mind. There are male divas (known as divos), but they are possessed of actual, exceptional talent. There are many more mivas than divos in this world.

That guy's a true miva!

shindy

Any short independent film. The upper time limit to be considered a shindy is arbitrarily stated to be 49 minutes, but any film that is less than feature length may be considered a shindy.

I have a featured role in an upcoming shindy.

Zombie Wrangler

A production assistant on a zombie film whose primary responsibility is to keep tabs on the zombie extras. The job is similar to that of an animal wrangler on a film set. Production assistant(s) charged with this responsibility should receive specific credit as Zombie Wranglers. Zombie Wranglers have been specifically credited at the conclusion of at least one zombie film, Zombie Bloodbath (1993).

He worked as a Zombie Wrangler in that film.

darddle

A combination of "dart" and "waddle"

I saw the chubby baby raccoon darddle across the road just as the car came over the hill. Fortunately, the driver hit the brakes in time and the little guy made it to the other side.

stooter

A small electric scooter with tiny wheels, the top speed of which is slightly faster than most people walk. This type of scooter is very popular among tourists and wannabe hipsters in urban areas. Such scooters often lack turn signals or lights, impede conventional vehicles and put the operators and others at risk. This type of scooter is a stupid scooter--hence, a "stooter".

I almost hit a guy riding one of those stooters.

whystical

simultaneously whimsical and mystical, as in a piece of art evoking a sense of whimsy as well as mystery.

That painting is remarkably whystical.
