schmooseoisie

The in-crowd of art groupies that hangs around gallery openings.

To qualify, you must be polished, primped and sufficiently flexuous to do a bit of iPhone texting while holding a conversation, a glass of organic wine, a plate of organic snacks, and a camera - and, at the same time, indulging in some serious shoulder-surfing to check if there's someone further up the social ladder you haven't yet air-kissed, dahling.
The schmooseoisie was out in force at Erin's opening.

femonist

Conflation of emo and feminist: a woman, usually young, who equates the petty annoyances of her everyday life to real and urgent women's issues.
The femonist complained that, at her sucky store-clerk job, that she hates, two older guys had tried to cheer her up.

"#FML #misogyny #killallmen" she tweeted angrily.
