co-promo 

media term for those current TV shows where wannabees or one-star celebs hoping to raise their public profile are encouraged to compete, be humiliated, bullied, or patronised on camera...

Great symbiotic relationship -- the media get hours of cheap or unpaid labour; everyone gets their fifteen minutes of facial recognition; one or two win through to big bucks...

'Jeez ! Yet another co-promo on TV... this time it's the Whiplash School of Cookery comp...but dammit, I love them all...it's so addictive...'

' This is the family Christmas morning ? The kids all back in their rooms and the Christmas tree surrounded by torn-up happy paper...?'

'Amabo!'

Latin for 'I shall love'which happens to be 'Obama' spelt backwards -- thus a rallying-cry for supporters...

'Hey man, what's this 'Amabo!' thing ?'

'Our funky classics prof. has taken to calling out 'Amabo!' when he comes into class, and we call back 'Obama'.. it starts the class with a laugh..

sweetypuss

opposite of sourpuss. When someone asks you what -- say -- your fierce new grade teacher is like, and neither 'sweetie' nor 'pussy-cat' quite fit the bill..

'My new grade teacher ? She comes across all disciplinarian -- but one-to-one she's a real sweetypuss..'
