cerebral constipation

The act of completely forgetting the name of an actor, song, book, movie or name of anything that one is generally familiar with. The "on-the-tip-of-my-tongue" phenomenon. The 'mind-burp' is the moment of relief, the actual recall. i.e., "Aha! I got it! I remember!"

The movie buff had a bad case of "cerebral constipation" as he choked under pressure when the cute waitress asked him for the name of his favorite romantic comedy.

mind burp

The moment of relief when on has made a breakthrough on their "cerebral constipation." The "aha, I remember" phenomenon when one finally, remembers what they have struggling to remember.

After being asked what mafia film won Best Picture 1972, the movie buff, after struggling for 27 minutes, finally had a "mind burp" as he cried out, I got it, I got, "the Godfather!"

buffed stallion

A studly, male gym rat with six-pack abs, who works on his body daily. Sometimes a user of anabolic steroids or sometimes he is just blessed with good genetics. Maintains a bodyfat of less than 9% despite having more than nominal muscle mass.

At the hair salon, Mary and the other older women commented on what a "buffed stallion" the UPS Driver was and how they would love to have one-night with him.

quasi-koan

An alternative, more humorous deviation from the traditional koan in the Eastern philosophical realm such as:

A quasi-koan almost invariably has a more comedic subtext.

Traditional koans are generally devoid of humorous subtexts.

i.e., "What is the sound of one-hand clapping?"

A quasi-koan has a similar, riddle-like essence but is less serious than its traditional predecessor.

i.e., "Is a person with MPD ever truly alone?

"If someone farts in a kitten's face, does the kitten know it is being disrespected?"

Hey! That's a quasi-koan!

piggyback marketing

A cost effective marketing strategy where two or more companies represent the other firm's non-competing product in various promotions or through referrals.

At the networking mixer, Mary the wedding planner got together with Jason the videographer and mentioned to him how trying out some "piggyback marketing" could work out well for both of them.

i.e., "I'll put a link to your website on my site, if you'll put a link to my website on yours."

neoconanderthal

An angry, invidious, regressive, hate-driven person who thrives on conflict and abhors anything intelligent, enlightening, factual, logical, rational, fair, balanced, liberal, progressive and non-passion-based.

A person who is driven by their passion-based beliefs and who hates sound intelligent reasoning.

i.e.,

Joe discovered that he could effortlessly rile a "neoconanderthal" by merely pointing out several, key, intelligent facts that proved to all that Sarah Palin was simply just not knowledgeable enough to ever be deemed a serious candidate in any future Presidential election.

java-hipster

A pretentious, bohemian wanna-be, who frequents various coffee shops. He loves to spout his artiste-poseur opinions loudly in everyday conversation to anyone who will listen, so that his strong opinions can be heard by random strangers that he pines to impress. Almost always knows less than he tries so hard to convey. Usually has a laptop hooked up to wi-fi, yet rarely if ever touches the keyboard. Prefers to sit outside at the sidewalk table if possible so that he can be seen by as many cool locals as possible. Prides himself of being hip as evidenced by donning the latest trendy, hipster, hair-do. i.e., dreadlocks, shaved head, etc...

The "java-hipster" raved loudly to his nose-ringed buddies about the latest Johnny Depp film as the irritated cafe patrons feigned a yawn in his direction to show obvious annoyance at his pathetic attempts to be heard by all.
