heck of a job

Total screw-up. Usually used ironically, to indicate when someone's self-delusion is in direct contradiction to well-known and easily-observed facts.

"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

Axis of Evil

A speech which proves Bush's mental condition is approximately the same as John_-_Winston, John Grubor, Steve Hayes, Robert Ghostwolf, Archimedes Plutonium, Alexander Abian, Ed Conrad, and a dozen other net.personalities made famous by their ability to post bullshit to more than SIXTY newsgroups at once.

Iran, Iraq, and North Korea? Couldn't he have picked someone like Burkina Faso who no one's ever heard of?

tax

1. Money paid to the government for the privilege to live in that state or administrative distribution. Typically, taxes are a portion of one's income which approaches 100% as one's income increases; however, the rich often find ways to cheat on their taxes. There are different types of taxes, as well, depending on how one makes and spends money. Many neoliberals claim taxes are immoral, even though the Bible itself requires a tithe of a flat 10% and a poll tax of one half-sheqel; I'd like to see these people live starting out with a debt ten times what they currently make and not be allowed to earn income.
2. To test.

1. "Most people don't like paying taxes."
2. "This is really taxing my patience."

velveeta

2. extremely cheesy and artificial

Quit posting velveeta to more than SIXTY newsgroups!

ignorami

Pseudo-intellectuals. So called because of their tendency to use stigmae, mandami, ignorami, omnibi, viri, operae, cauci, and other overuse of the "-us to -i, -a to -ae, -um to -a" classical rule.

If every word ending in -us becomes -i, is the plural of bus bi?

SUV

Sure to be Under Vehicle.

"Well, I can give you this car with a five-star safety rating, which gets 38 miles a gallon, for twelve grand . . . OR I can give you this SUV which gets ten miles a gallon and hasn't gone through any safety tests at all for twenty-five grand."

"I'll take the SUV!"
