shall

A word which, like whom, has come to be thought of as overly formal and stuffy in American speech. In current use, it indicates a very strong intention or will to do something.

Traditionally, shall is used as an auxilliary to form the future tense for the first person: ("I" and "we")

I shall go
you will go
he/she/it will go
we shall go
they will go

Negative: shall not, contracted as shan't.

This service was atrocious! We shan't be coming back here again!

coaster

Any disc recieved from America Online that contains its product. Since using the programs represents a net inefficiency for your time, it is better to use them as coasters that you can set your drinks on, lest you damage a wood or other valuable surface.

I got so many AOL 9.0 coasters last month, I glued them to my ceiling and now it's shiny, disco-style.

minuteman

Term for a volunteer soldier in the American Revolution, who were supposed to be ready to fight against the British at a minute's notice. These were often nothing more than farmers that happened to have a gun or two lying around.

Let us not confuse "minuteman," a man who quickly goes off to be a soldier, with minute man, a man whose soldier goes off too quickly.
