notwith

to notwith is to stand obviously at a distance from someone at a party or business gathering : a colleague who was sent with you to the meeting, but whom you despise; or an ex you were together with for a fair time but now parted from... it's a kinda public statement.
They sent that moron from Publicity with me on the freebie -- so I made a point to notwith him at all the meetings and parties just to let them know...

She was there at the party, so I had to notwith her, otherwise people would be going on about 'you two...'

The bastard chose to notwith me all evening... ambitious crawler, we're supposed to have represented the firm as a pair...

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...'

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..
