acorn dance

A dance that symbolises an entire way of life that was supposedly very intense, meaningful and sensual, and intrinsic to the human and natural worlds, but that was in fact never lived. The literal dance itself never existed, and those who pretend to knowledge of it cannot agree on what the moves were. More generally, a myth in the most amorphous state possible.

Jane spent her college years trying to find references to the acorn dance.

Everything is an acorn dance and nothing is.

Someone wrote a thesis on Renaissance painting and the acorn dance. It was rather sensual stuff and I still couldn't make head nor tail of it.

out-Herod Herod

To deliberately outdo someone in cruelty, idiocy or something else so as to get back at them.

I didn't care what anyone else thought of his wedding speech in the marquee; one way or another, unaccustomed to public speaking as he was, it drove me to the edge of sanity. So in the end I just got up there when he was finished and for the next three hours, until the Security bundled me out the flap, I decided to out-Herod Herod and went for it.

axis of evil

A list of countries that "President" Bush II chooses to use as a distraction from domestic issues and questions about his own popularity. Members of the axis are usually (but not invariably) Muslim, are often grindingly poor outside the palaces of tribal elites, and more to the point do not possess the ability, as states, to retaliate against American soil if subjected to an armed invasion.

China is not part of the Axis of Evil because it possesses ICBMs and incidentally is a large market for American businesses.

Agrajag Complex

A psychotic need to avenge oneself on a group, nation, or whatever because of real or alleged victimisation visited on one's ancestors by the ancestors of the target. The person afflicted with the Agrajag Complex almost - indeed sometimes literally - seems to regard such insults as having been visited on themself personally, and dwells on the grievance so much that they cripple themselves mentally and emotionally. From the character of Agrajag in Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series of novels, who has reincarnated many times as a wide variety of different creatures, each of which was killed (or at least looked at in their last moments, Agrajag believes smugly), by Arthur Dent. Agrajag returns to take revenge on Dent in the form of a giant mutant bat with long curving teeth that lacerate his own face every time he moves his jaw.

These Northern Irish Nationalists and Unionists can all be seen to suffer from a form of Agrajag Complex.

She's a neo-pagan Luddite with an Agrajag Complex.

third arm

Somebody who considers themself so tied to someone else that they are only there to do the other's bidding. A slave. By analogy with an actual third arm, with which the owner of the arm could hope to do so much more, but which has no independent life of its own.

Mary is trying to treat Jimmy like her third arm again. She won't even let him go out for a night with the lads.
