Mature hipster. A hipster over the age of 40, typically someone involved in the arts (visual arts, design, music, theater, etc.).
Mipsters are bohemians whose gumption is a reflection of their tenacity and unimpressive income, rather than an ironic rejection of materialism.
For example, his/her Van Halen baseball jersey is the authentic article--purchased in the 1980s at a concert or "record store", not Urban Outfitters.
Unlike the hipster in their 20s, misters support themselves financially, and are actually cool.

a conflation of the words "mature" and "goth"
Refers to a person 35+ years old, most often a woman, who is wears hip artsy goth-type apparel, make-up or hair, but is still attractive enough to get away with it. It is not a pejorative word.

When someone uses a needlessly complicated or esoteric word when a simpler word or expression would suffice.
A common occurence amongst neophyte academics who wish to impress peers.

Why did you say "lacuna" to just say that he had a "break" or "opening" in his schedule? That was a needless vocabularical bitch slap.
