journalist 

A holder of any one of myriad possible jobs in the field of journalism, from the noble reporter of news on down to the gossip columnist or the sleazeball who puts his byline on a press release and submits it unaltered for publication. Derives from the verb "to journalize," which shares with the public's respect for journalists the fact of being non-existent. For reasons as yet undetermined, actual respectable reporters have even embraced this vacuous label.

From what he told me about his job I thought he was some kind of hard-nosed reporter dedicated to getting at the truth and telling it to the public -- but when I asked him again what he told me was, he was a journalist. So I shot him in the head.

parenting 

Being a parent. (Children optional.) (I mean, seriously, if it were about children the term would mention children.) (But it's "parenting," which means it's all about me, the parent, and the child, if any, is merely an accessory, like my handbag or my iPhone.) (Only more expensive.)

My mother and father all but killed themselves raising my brothers and sisters and me. I'm so glad my generation invented parenting instead.

nadsucker 

Someone who insists on referring to Tea Party activists as "teabaggers" because of the word's pre-existing sexual connotation. Derives from some TP sympathizers' response of inviting such persons to suck their 'nads.

You're never going to convince that guy to stop calling you a teabagger because he's a habitual nadsucker hoping to score.

Establicrat 

The Democrat counterpart of an Establican.

I may not bother voting this November. I'd have to choose between an Establican and an Establicrat.

Establican 

A member of the Establishment wing of the Republican Party -- fiscally irresponsible and unsympathetic to the views of grass-roots Republicans, but not an aisle-jumping RINO like Jim Jeffords or Arlen Specter.

It's no wonder John McCain lost in 2008, he pretends to be a maverick but he's really just another Establican.

Big Fruit Salad 

San Francisco (after "The Big Apple" for New York).

Back in the early 1960s the Giants left the Big Apple for the Big Fruit Salad, and they haven't been the same since.
