Ward Churchill

Wannabe Indian ethnic studies professor whose credentials no one bothered to check until he questioned Bush. Unlike David Yeagley, a wannabe Indian who couldn't decide his field and follows Bush lock-step and therefore is unquestioned even though his credentials are as suspect as Churchill's.

Now if only we could get all the wannabes to go the way of Ward Churchill.

ramen

Japanese instant noodles which come in cup or block form, popular with college students (who can't afford anything else) and otaku (who just like anything Japanese). As a connoisseur of cheap DIY meals, I've developed means of assigning ramen a rating on a scale of zero to four stars: One half-star for every flavor packet beyond the first, one star if it comes in its own cup, an extra half star if that comes with its own meat or vegetables, and a star and a half if the dry noodles don't remind me of Play-Doh.

Ramen's not as good as lo mein, but I got it at 1/40 the price the Jade Dragon was charging.

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!"
