drunken trees

A phenomenon in which trees appear to list to one side because the soil has shifted from melting of permafrost. Unfortunately seen more than ever because of global warming. In Alaska, what may be the worst example of this phenomenon in the world is continuing to happen, especially in and around the Kenai Preserve.
In the Kenai Preserve, four million acres of forest are dying. You can tell by the drunken trees and the "silvering" and sap loss from the spruces.

BUMBOCLAAT

Acronym for: Big Ugly Metropolitan Buildings Often Create Loss of Ambience for All Tenants. The tendency to overdevelop on culturally and/or ecologically sensitive areas is unfortunately de rigueur under our Republican administration, with the love of money rather than common sense being the bottom line. Derived from Bumboclaat.
I have just the right word for all of this shit they're building lately in New York: BUMBOCLAAT!

Bombeti

Faux-Georgian word, a sarcastic way of describing Chechnya and parts of Daghestan. If this were a real Georgian word, it would mean "land of the bomb", from English "bomb" and the Georgian suffix "-eti" meaning "land of...".

resistoring

What happens when a staple assumes a crumpled shape when you're trying to staple a document. From the zigzag shape of the schematic diagram symbol for a resistor. Pronounced ree-ZISS-tor-ing.
Betty, I need a new stapler. Every staple that comes out of this piece of junk is resistoring.

Grey Havens

Named after a location in J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" saga, this means Heaven.
It seems like these batteries are on the way to the Grey Havens. The flash unit on my camera takes too long to recharge!
