Che Guevara radical

Bleeding heart college age lefty who thinks they are working to defeat the whole terrible System with a capital(ist) S because there is a big red poster of Che Guevara (printed no doubt on a massive press somewhere like Columbus, Ohio) in their bedroom. Swears eternal enmity to anyone from NASA to Monsanto, has probably played their part in uprooting at least one field of allegedly GM sugar beet and has no doubt pleaded in public that we have no right to be in space until the last African baby is fed (and if that had been arranged there would surely be something else). Of course you just know that in ten years' time, if not sooner, the Che Guevara radical will have an office job for the Coca-Cola Company in Shanghai and drive an SUV.

She's 18 and she's all Che Guevara radical, but just wait until she graduates from Uni and the poster will come down.

oil brat

Someone from a family which has grown astronomically wealthy in the oil business, who has never had to work a tap in their life, and who may very well decide that they have nothing better to do with their free time than claim to be in touch with divinity, get a load of gullible people to follow them, and set about murdering innocent bystanders by the thousands. The two best known oil brats in the world at the time of writing reside (1) in the White House, and (2) probably somewhere in Afghanistan.

Advice on oil brats; don't vote for them, don't die for them, don't kill for them, certainly don't piss on them if they're on fire, leave them well enough alone.

bartymoe

Trick frequently played by Bart Simpson in The Simpsons in which he calls up Moe's Tavern and asks Moe for someone whose name is a double entendre. Bart sneaks it past him by giving Moe the person's alleged surname first. (Funniest example is when he gets Moe to ask for a Hugh Jass ... and someone else takes the phone ...,)

Bart (on phone to Moe's): Hello, I'm looking for someone called Hugginkiss, first name Amanda?
Moe (into tavern): Hey, do we have Amanda Hugginkiss? I'm looking for Amanda Hugginkiss!
(Bart and the customers roll on the floor laughing, while Moe fumes.)

I played a bartymoe on the girl in Larry's Bar, the other day. She was so stupid it actually worked.

musturbation

Self-righteous or ostentatious insistence that the entire Universe will disintegrate if one does not keep oneself busy. In other words (mime jerking hand up and down) you must-must-MUST do the dishes/feed the cat/write more letters. From the writings of M. Scott Peck.

You've been tiling and re-tiling the kitchen wall for the last year. When's the musturbation going to stop?

democracy

1. Form of government supposedly originating in classical Athens. The term is derived from the Greek words demos (people) and kratein (rule). Even in ancient Athens the "people" excluded women and slaves.

2. Government "of the people, by the people and for the people", to quote Abraham Lincoln.

3. In the present world, whatever suits those controlling the United States military.

Sometimes, son, it's unfortunately necessary to liquidate a coupla million gooks to bring them democracy, McDonald's and all that stuff. Praise the Lord and pass the ammo.

200C

Dilution used on a homeopathic preparation called Occilococcinum, made from freeze-dried powdered duck liver diluted one hundredfold in solvent 200 times over and supposedly of use in curing cold and flu symptoms. This dilution, if accurately labelled, would represent one molecule of (allegedly) active ingredient in 1 followed by 400 zeroes other molecules, or in other words somewhere between the fourth and fifth exponential powers of the total number of atoms in the observable Universe.

Gimme some 200C vodka and see how drunk I get.
