altar ego

The specific deity or religious persona one wishes to identify with for reasons of spiritual growth. So called, because an image of such is often displayed prominently upon one's own personal altar.

Being of a compassionate nature, the young woman felt a great affinity for White Tara and so displayed a beautiful image of her altar ego prominently in her shrine room.

salmon run loop

The perception that (despite much effort) no progress is actually being made as one attempts to struggle forward with one's life. From salmon run + (tape or film) loop; combining the difficultly encountered by salmon as they head upstream to spawn and the endless repetition of a film or tape loop.

Every month it was the same thing: a salmon run loop of cutting back on everything in order to keep up with the spiraling interest on the family's credit cards.

Fifty is the new eighty.

A middle-aged individual's self-description when feeling old beyond their years

Fifty may seem young to you, now that you've turned forty-five, but I'm telling you, with my bad teeth, and back, and all the pain in my joints, my fifty is the new eighty.

smack cat

A furry feline friend who enjoys getting the area immediately preceding it's tail whacked much harder than one would imagine enjoyable.

God love him, but Little Marquis was definitely a smack cat, as evidenced by his purring while being given a rather vigorous series of whacks just in front of his tail and then asking for more.

bad brain day

A day when nothing anyone says to you makes sense, nothing you say makes sense to anyone else (including yourself), following directions proves problematic and items which should be readily locatable cannot be found (or are found only after much searching on top of one's head).

I knew it was going to be a bad brain day when I finally located my keys in the drawer where I always keep them, my glasses on top of my head, and remembered only after entering the now empty garage that my wife had earlier mentioned that it was her yoga day, which meant she was taking the car.

Presidente Por Supuesto

Barak Obama. Literally, President Of Course. A very loose Spanish translation of President Yes We Can. While nowhere close to being an accurate translation, it does convey a sense of that positive can-do attitude of the 44th president of the United States of America and it's fun to say.

If anyone can get single-payer passed it's Presidente Por Supuesto, the 44th president of the United States.

spamzilla

A term denoting a female propagator of spam. It conveys a negative connotation. From spam + zilla (from the Japanese film monster Godzilla).

That girl's a regular spamzilla, the way she copy-pastes and posts every piece of spam she lays eyes on.
