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?

reality-based community

Those who put their trust in the facts, as opposed to those who rely on faith. A senior White House aide spoke derisively of the "reality-based community" to reporter Ron Suskind, and the meme spread rather quickly among those who don't think you can get pregnant from masturbation.

Just about anyone who doesn't like Bush.
