retro-cultration
Tendency for 3rd-generation immigrants to return to their home-countries' cultural roots as shown in the rise of clanguage and other manifestations of cultural cross-polination.
This trans-border, trans-cultural phenomenon lead many of these multi bi-bi (multicultural, bilingual-bicultural or 'multi-culti'), to a mental illness called 'cultural relativisim'.
For show, Arab Americans (who are nothing but a bunch of Americophobic pseuds!), when they return to the home 'cuntries', they find that they also can't fit their King-of-The-World-sized heads in a small place where people are still looking for the NBH (Next Bowl of Hummus)!

The main product of this retro-cultration is the 'Nowherian': one who's trying to return to his/her forefathers' country, only to find that they don't fit in there.

Tanguy syndrome
Tanguy syndrome is an emerging phenomenon across the world that started in Canada back in the the early zips.
It takes its name from a French-speaking film's young male character who spends his days at his parents' tanning, not working at the ripe old age of 28!
The males around the globe are facing now a 'quarter-life crisis' in their late 20s and early 30s because of a dire job market and an economy that flips the young and aspirant the middle-salute: having no work or money to start their own seperate lives, these 'sad gards' return back to their parents' homes and slack away their most productive and exciting years building in the process EFFs or 'extended financial families' (a.k.a. ant-hill families: describes the 'piling' effect of having different generations all living and working in the same house, so much like an ant-farm hill is).
Yeah, well blow this for a lark and welcome to the 'Slack Pack' if you are one of them!

danger stranger
An 'ethnicon' (ethnic icon) used to refer to Arabs or Middle-Eastern travelers who immigrated to the US in recent years amidst the growing wave of terrorist attacks that has led many average, terrornoid American citizens to become concerned about their country's 'air-border' security.
Capps (Computer-assisted passenger prescreening system)/ US-VISIT (US-Visitor & Immigrant Status Indicator), are some of the new, computerized methods for 'profiling' the new comers.
These methods have made it possible for the TSC (Terrorist Screening Center) to make large, biometric database files in what has been termed 'soft intelligence' operations all over US airports complete with issued e-passports.
Now (irony has its day!), there is a new segregatory system in America that very soon you'll be on an escalator in an airport somewhere in the US, while poor schlub Arab hunheads are on another seperate one! You are the 'trusted traveler' who's been 'reverse-profiled' by this kind of neo-racism!

The post-9/11 'ticking-time bomb' theory of immanent suspect terrorist threat, justified the use of any method including TFRs (temporary flight restrictions), free-forms (witnesses' description of oriental-looking face whom might prove to be a hiding active terrorist in a city), in order to close the 'security gap' created by the attacks... has made a danger stranger out of many Arabs arriving in US airports.

zombie language
Conlang (constructed language) of old dead languages that get revived again by enthusiast 'conlangers', who 'feed' it on other 'living' languages!

bow-linguistics
Gestures, finger-spells and handsigns taught to a dog in order to train 'him/her' to respond to English words as orders!
Bow-linguistics are not the end of the story: alongside the 'dogsitter' and the must-have 'chewy' or chew toy, there's 'canine-freestyling', or handling a K9 to the sounds of hip-hop music! Dogis (dog yogis!) that train your dogfriend some 'doga' and when your dog turns 13, you can throw him a 'Bark Mitzvah' party, or why don't you get a 'barkitect' to build your 'furkids' an uber-stylish doghouse --ooopsies! 'barkitecture'? 'Muttiquette' (mutt etiquette) comes handy for your 'companion animal' should you be in a public place and want to avoid unexpected behavior ; ] And, if you're feeling lonely go adopt a 'dogter' (she-dog daughter) and get her some kiddens (kid-replacement kittens) for company!
This must be, no...is TEOTWAWKI!

The funny pidgin English spoken by F.O.B.s (Fresh out of the boat people), is a clanguage and is called sarcastically 'Foblish'!
