slurg

a governmental senior level review group usually made up of people who already think alike. "group think" is the result, but when a slurg treatise is printed it becomes a flag that many pols salute.

It's not just the Republicans that use a slurg to justify their course of action. Shit, all major parties do it. Maybe Nader is right. We need to rethink the whole damn political process.

kinkeeping

The art of keeping an extended family together relying on direct interaction with loved ones and relations who are distant physically but thought of intermittently.

My mother and her cousin are responsible for the kinkeeping in our family. They began planning our regular five year reunion two weeks after the last one. They expect to greet over sixty people again, maybe more, depending on who gets pregnant.
