Coquettesan

A woman within a workplace who advances herself by walking the thin line between being a relentless flirt (i.e. a coquette) and actually having sex with men of advantage to her (i.e. being a courtesan) for the sake of her career.
"I can't believe the stuff that that woman has gotten away with and they keep giving her more responsibility!"

"Yep, Stacey is a very accomplished coquettesan."

Chompophobia

The irrational fear men often feel toward outhouses. Normally it stems from the associated fear that there may be an unseen alligator or crocodile somewhere below.
"Why did Elmer have to buy one of them newfangled INDOOR toilets?"

"cause me and Clem I heard he has Chompophobia."

"I reckon that's a mighty wise choice then. I heard something peculiar rustlin' in my own outdoor facility this morning."

Blame domino

The phenomenon in which an employee is chastised by his or her superior and then feels compelled to chastise their inferiors. In a large organization, this can involve a large number of people falling like dominoes.
"Jones, you cretin! I just got my clock cleaned by my boss because of you. Rest assured that you will get yours now."

"Hey Smith, don't involve me in your blame domino!"

Winter wonderland psychosis

The phenomenon in which a person begins to see the cold, the snow and the gray sky as beautiful. Often they will describe the cold as "invigorating", the snow as "crystal blue" and the frigid season as "cozy". The use of these descriptors for the early months of the year is, in fact, diagnostic for this malady. The only effective treatment is a move to a warmer clime.
Lesley (euphorically giggling) "I love the crunch of the crystal blue snow under my feet when I walk to my car. The season is so invigorating! Tonight I want to stay in and make cocoa for the whole neighborhood!"

"That's it. You have to see a professional. You have winter wonderland psychosis."

Jane Krakowski Effect

Named after the Ally McBeal series actress, this is a condition in which men literally stop in their tracks when looking at a woman that is completely physically stunning and flawless. It is sometimes marked by the loss of peripheral consciousness for hours or days as the male stares transfixed, feeling no pain nor hunger nor any sense of responsibility to attend to necessary matters. In war, the use of Ms Krakowski directly, via her surrogates, or her images to immobilize the enemy is expressly forbidden under any and all of the Geneva Convention agreements.
"Whoa Jake...You zoned out dude. One minute you were fine and the next you were comatose. Was it that blonde in the blue miniskirt?"

(Still in something of a stupor) "Yeah. I think so."

"Jane Krakowski Effect huh?"

(Beside himself now) "Is she here? The real one? Where?" (Jake fades out again lost in a mental image)

"Oh the blessing and curse of having the angel Jane Krakowski and her ilk living amongst us." (Jake's friend laments)

Octaphilia

The perverse desire to emulate fashion, hair and music from the 1980's despite severe social criticisms for doing so.
"Patty what are you doing? The big shoulder pads, the big sometimes blue or green hair? What's up with your boyfriend too with the eyeliner? Don't you see that people are laughing at you?"

"Well my boyfriend still likes Boy George and Wham and I still like Pat Benatar and Dynasty and I think that blue hair is my best color. Get with it Suzie."

"Get with it?!!!! I hated that stuff even then! Your octaphilia is out of control!"

Kirsten Dunst Syndrome

A woman who by all objective standards is quite beautiful but retains a subtle indescribable flaw that somehow undermines her overall beauty. It is also sometimes known as Miley Cyrus Syndrome.
"Dude what's wrong with you? How could you break up with Carol? She is a fox!"

"I don't know. There was something about her mouth that bugged me. I can't explain it."

(Pensive now) Yeah I think I get what you're saying now. I sort of noticed that too.

"It's like Kirsten Dunst Syndrome, I guess"

"You mean Miley Cyrus syndrome?"

"Same thing...whatever."
