Yet Another Josh Cohen's definitions

bopsa

Bunch Of People Standing Around -- usually a good descriptor for still shots of political rallies, protest marches, and concert audiences.

Someone sent me a bunch of pics for the website, but most were BOPSA and I couldn't use them.

youtube fight

When someone in your office watches a video on YouTube that is silly or strange and you try to respond and top them, you have started a YouTube fight.

"I'll see your Banana Splits and raise you a Jem and the Holograms."

"Dude, I'm busy. No time for a YouTube fight."

"Poop."

Radiohead

an admittedly-talented band that is overplayed on every alterna-rock station; tends to overdo the political stuff, which detracts from their music

I swear I heard at least one Radiohead or Thom Yorke song on Ethel every hour yesterday.

manage expectations

corporate doublespeak for "we don't want to do our best, so let's make sure people think we're doing our best without revealing that we're not doing our best" -- anything in which you have to "manage expectations" means you could probably devote more time and effort to making things better, but you just don't feel like it

Marketing has to manage expectations of our new software package so that the boss doesn't make us do any more work.

suicide lane

A lane on a roadway that, depending upon the time of day, changes direction of travel. Sometimes, as in Snellville, Georgia, the direction of travel is noted by an electric sign every 200 feet hanging across the highway. Other times, as in parts of Maryland, there is nothing but a sign.

Example:

| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |

From 5am to noon, lanes 1, 2, 3, and 4 are Southbound, lane 5 is a turn lane, and lanes 6 and 7 are Northbound. From noon to 8pm, lanes 1 and 2 are Southbound, lane 3 is a turn lane, and lanes 4 through 7 are Northbound.

The suicide lanes on 78 always creep me out just a bit.

fuckerware party

A party, usually attended by women or couples (but almost never just by men, and single men are almost never invited unless they're of the homosexual occasion). It is held at one person's house. That person may or may not be the host. Whomever the host actually is will come to the party with several large plastic bins filled with sex toys, lingerie, lubricants, and oils.

Kind of like a Pampered Chef, Tastefully Simple, or Tupperware party.

Ever since my wife came home with all that stuff from the fuckerware party, she hasn't had sex with me.

cat macro

(Also lolcat.) A picture of a cat doing something seemingly-innocuous, with words photoshopped over the picture. Probably an offshoot of the orly owl.

"I see what you did there", "oh, hi, I upgraded your ram", and "aggressive cat is aggressive/defensive cat is defensive" are three popular cat macros.
