G.A.F.F.E

GAFFE is an acronym for - Greenwashing Attempt For Fundraising Efforts. There is now a prevalent effort for NGO’s and other nonprofit organizations to raise money based on fears that have little or no scientific evidence to support there causes. However, these organizations will shamelessly propagate misinformation to create fear, sympathy and anger to promote their causes in an effort to raise money for themselves.

Did you see that NGO showing a picture of a turtle with a plastic bag around it’s neck? When confronted, they admitted to the BBC that it was a photoshopped image and the BBC retracted the story when this was found out.. just another example of a G.A.F.F.E. that is being used in media and on-line

tweenior

A tweenior is the age at which you are between middle age and being a full senior citizen. It is also when you are in that early stage of denial when you don't want to full be called a senior citizen. Somewhere in the range of 55 to 65 you may be referred to as a "tweenior". This may be for either vanity purposes or could even be a new demographic age reference.

Hey Bob, I heard you are now a "tweenior". But, it's still too bad you don't get the full seniors discount.

Holodeckaholic

An anticipated future term, this will be the affliction that disallows people to leave their Holodeck easily. Indeed, to the point of addiction. As many will know, the Holodeck was first seen on Star Trek and simulate a completely immersive Virtual Reality (VR) experience. When you can literally enter a space that simulates everything that the real world offers except it can be programmed to personal preferences like: A Sherlock Holmes mystery; a trip to the beach; or anything the heart or mind desires.

I think that Bob has a real problem, all he does is pay his power bill and won't leave his Holodeck. I think he is an Holodeckaholic!
