coffeeshop intellectualist

Part of the stupid 'public intellectualism' movement of poets and artentainers, who perform in Starbucks™ Cafes.
Also called starbuckism/ starbucking.
See also, beauty shop Nagel.

Guitar-wielding fake coffeeshop intellectualists come and play their ditties at Starbucks, Abdoun and Boooks@Cafe coffeeshops in Amman all with an air of put-on knowledge of 'cords' and fretboard theatrics, while they haven't got the first molecule of taste. They should at least buy good gits and read some good poetry.

blue revolution

Water shortages in the third-world caused alarming concerns in the last ten years and the WWC (World Water Council) predicts that there'll be 1.5 bil. without access to clean drinking water by the year 2015.
The hook is, this multi-stakeholder world authority is helping these water-poor 3rd World countries to build 'water-banking' structures (water dams, reservoirs...), to collect rain water in the short-timed winters, to be used later for drinking and sanitory purposes.
Water is now the 'blue' gold!

Blue revolution is a take on the 60s' 'green revolution'. The difference between the two revolutions is that, this new one is going to be the cause for WWIII as politicians expect world-wide 'water wars' to take place when there'll not be one drop of water left in this world. Wait and see, it's happening faster than what you might think!

genetocracy

Rule of the genetically-enhanced!
See Dustafarians, for details.

Antonym>> genetic underclass: the rapid advancements made in the field of biotechnology ushering what one writer termed the 'genetic-politics', or the political lobby action that would take place if genetic testing is going to determine who's the perfect machine and who are the mehums (mere humans) and the call for 'bio-freedom' for the 'genetically-challenged', 'bio-prisoners' born with defective genes that would end up to be ruled by the genetocracy.

Baddiel's Syndrome

This weird syndrome is a rare form of constant 'fear' from having a panic attack!

Baddiel's Syndrome has nothing to do with that show on BSkyB with the same name.
