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.

Grand Poo Bah

A Grand Poo Bah is any overbearing and pompous authority, often claiming numerous titles, roles or distinctions and frequently overplaying their hand. An overstuffed shirt. Someone who expects others to lick up to them for nothing. From a character in the 1885 Gilbert and Sullivan operetta The Mikado. Not to be confused with the Grand Pooh Bear, who is someone else again.

There's Larry again, trying to tell everyone what to do and swanning around like he's the Grand Poo Bah.

Art

1) When beauty, complexity, philosophy, genius and sensuality all have a gang bang together, this misbegotten but wondrous creation ensues.

2) What Jack Nicholson makes until someone dies.

3) Something that turns up in eXistenZ, when Willem Dafoe mentions a video games called ArtGod, as in "ThouArtGod".

Art. Who could ask for anything more?

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.

three-scallop problem

A problem whose solution is very obvious to everyone else, but which for some reason they refuse to divulge to someone who needs to find these things out. From the movie Demolition Man, starring Wesley Snipes and Sylvester Stallone, where in a future world of perfect primness no-one has the nerve to explain to Stallone's defrosted cop the purpose of the three seashell-shaped markings in every toilet.

They're not telling me what's up with Diane these days. It must be a three-scallop problem.

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.
