Trekkie

(n.) A fan, avid or otherwise, of at least one Star Trek series or movie. Devotees who totally immerse themselves in this subculture have given this term a somewhat negative stereotype, turning the majority of the fan base into the butt of many lame jokes. More "reality based" Trekkies, hoping to differentiate themselves from the habituous character-emulating, convention-attending crowd, choose to accept the label of "Trekker".

"John has the entire 3 seasons of the original Star Trek on DVD. What a Trekkie!"

"Nah... John's more of a Trekker. At least he doesn't go to half a dozen conventions a year dressed as a Klingon."

zilla

adj.; when used as a suffix for a proper name or specific entity, becomes part of that noun.

Derived from Godzilla, the gargantuan reptilian star of Japanese "B" horror movie genre. Introduced in 1954 as "Gojira", Godzilla is the embodiment of all that is massive, destructive, and extremely difficult to defeat. Ergo, "'zilla" in both the stand-alone adjective and suffix forms represents those same charecteristics. Linguistically, the "z-l" combo has stronger audiological punch than "j-r", thus giving "'zilla" more connotative power than "'jira".

The neighborhood chug-a-lug champ might be referred to as "Beerzilla."

The creator of Micorsoft could easily be dubbed "Gateszilla."

My mother-in-law truly lives up to her nickname, Janezilla.

monkey balls

(n.) Nickname of the seed pods produced by sugar maple (Acer saccharum) trees (Liquidambar styraciflua, according to other sources). When ripe, these hard, spiky green balls are about the size of ping pong balls, and make excellent, abundant projectile ammo.

"Okay- everybody grab your sling shots and rackets, and pile up the monkey balls! THE WAR IS ON!!!"

ebonics

(n.) derivative word form resulting from the combination of "ebony" (referring to pigmentation) and "phonics". An evolving form of American English popularized in multimedia. Once only heard/spoken primarily in impoverished urban neighborhoods, it has infiltrated American culture to the point where some of the nation's largest public school districts even considered teaching it as part of the general curriculum.

The "For Dummies" publishing company would make a mint if they printed an "Ebonics For Dummies" title.

lemur

(n.) Not to insult the nocturnal creature (Lemuroidea) from which this term was gleaned, it is used in the hack/tech community as a word-play on "lamer".

Lloyd Blankenship is NOT +++The Mentor+++!!! He's just a thieving lemur.

~ or~

One's average script kiddie is a classic example of a lemur.

rocket surgery

(n.) a play on words which mixes two common metaphors: "rocket science" and "brain surgery"

A line in a hilarious Chris Rock comedy act states that one shouldn't eat green meat. No kidding. It doesn't take a degree in rocket surgery to figure out something like that! ;oD

Splog

n., combination form of spam + blog: 1) blogging solely for profit v. personal expression, communication, information (et al) purposes; 2) a blog which exists to pimp products, services, websites, etc. via extensive use of ads and/or links.

A good friend of mine used to have a slamming blog, but she's become just another sell-out, now that it's nothing more than a splog. I doubt she'll ever get rich using all those pay-per-click ads plastered everywhere on it.
