precariat
Containing the meaning of and combining the two words precarious and proletariat, we arrive at a new word which aptly describes the job insecurity our current generation of graduates must deal with.

laager mentality
The idea that since every man (and his gun) is needed for the common defense of the group, any one man's behavior, short of murder, must be tolerated, even including mild insanity and such serious crimes as rape. (From the Afrikaans voortrekker word 'laager' - a circle of wagons forming a defensive perimeter, as when the days journey was done and the group settled in for the night)
When the cop shot the unarmed perp his buddies closed in with their laager mentality and made a thorough investigation of the facts impossible, intentionally misplacing evidence and confusing investigators.

Annette
A woman of beauty beyond belief, with infinite patience and love unbounded for children and all other living things, an artist of exquisite skill and talent exceeding all measure, who has the world at her feet yet never fails to gladly suffer fools such as I.

teabugger
A right wing operator who gets caught with his pants down while trying to do the dirty in a public official's orifice; oh, I'm sorry, office.

photo-op feminism
Photo-op feminism is a brand (off-brand?) of the real thing where a poser will do or say anything (especially in front of a television camera) to get herself (okay, sometimes even men do it too) seen or heard as a hero to women everywhere. The more unreal the claim, the more outrageous the behavior.
