yardape

A small child, roughly between the ages of 1 and 6 years, who hangs out in a back yard, usually white, usually male and usually suburban. They don't say much but tend to take themselves way too seriously.

This was the definition used extensively in magazine advertisements and television shows, especially comedy, during the 1980's and 90's
"Heavens to burgitroid, what is that detestable little yardape doing in my movie? He's ruining it!"

- Sir Boris von Orloff,

Eerie Indiana

from the episode "America's Scariest Home Video (a.k.a. Scariest Home Videos)"

Air Date

ATV

Among the most ecologically destructive devices ever invented. They bring ruin to natural areas, destroying thousands of native plant and animal species, tear up cropland (in case you don't remember that's what keeps us from starving to death) and otherwise cause severe amounts of soil erosion (which in turn degrades the water quality and aquatic habitat). For these reasons they are especially attractive to rednecks and other irresponsable people.
Tax dollars are wasted repairing the damage caused by ATVs.
There have been cases of arguments where ATV riders have actually killed farmers & property owners.
ATVs will probably destroy our country, not that the evangelicals care. They don't think our planet will be around in another 20 years anyway.

Sunglass Hut

¹ A place whose sole commodity is offered by virtually every other retail establishment, only at a much higher price.

² A front for something bigger, something clandestine, and very likely something sinister.
Each Sunglass Hut is either a front for the mob, the Illuminati, or for some other secret organization.

How little sense it makes that they can stay in business, especially with the economy the way it is, just goes to show you how poorly disguised that something else is.

Alien Abductee

We really should cut the "alien abductee"s some slack after all they've been through, delusional as they may be.

strata

A layer or layers of something distinctive from what lies above and below, typically used to describe layers of sedimentary rock or some other sediment, but can also be used in any number of situations, literally or allegorically.
The athropocene epic will be seen, millions of years from now, as that layer of strata mostly made up of dissolved petrochemical waste, alloy rust, concrete powder and other relic substances of human technological dommination of the Earth.

Lowertown

A neighborhood of Paducah Kentucky that serves as it's Art's district. It borders downtown to the southwest. Thanks to the Artist Relocation Program, artists from places as far as Hawaii, San Fransisco and Paris France have settled there givinig the city of Paducah hope of having a rennaisance.
I'd move to Lowertown, but it's too close to the New Madrid Faultline.

Little Kurdistan

2)Any other enclave where the largest ethnic group without it's own state has a strong presence
The Area around Little Kurdistan is a magnet for North African, Bantu, East Indian, Southeast Asian, Eastern European and Hispanic immigrants.
