TETS

An extremely poisonous pesticide that should never have been made at all. TETS is short for tetramethylenedisulfotetramine,which has a peculiar "cage" chemical structure similar to some compounds found in camphor. TETS is odorless and tasteless and causes violent convulsions in all animals and humans. The pesticide is found in the People's Republic of China and has caused several cases of poisoning there, and sometimes finds its way here in the US, sold illegally by street vendors, where it has caused one fatal case of poisoning. One of the most insidious things about TETS is that it accumulates in the tissues of animals exposed to it and remains unchanged in the enviroment for years.

The Chinese authorities have reported several cases of poisoning from TETS.

laser lock

Occurs when you have your eye on something you want or need and you're competing with one or more people for the same thing, like a seat on the train or a much-coveted book. It's as if you had shone an imaginary laser pointer at the seat or book, in order to claim your right to have it.

(To passenger on bus): Excuse me, but I saw that seat first. In case you didn't notice,I have two sick kids.
Sorry, laser lock! (Passenger, mumbling): Ayyyy, que la tiznada!

riddy

Ridiculous. What you say when you're too lazy to say the full word.

John, that Yoda mask is really meant for a kid, not an adult. It looks so riddy!

Semi-jocularly, Russian university students' slang for an AIDS test. The word puns on "SPID", pronounced "speed", the Russian acronym for AIDS, and English "speedometer".

My nuzhen spidometr. (Translation: We need the "SPIDometer".)

chronectomy

Faux-medical word to decribe the charging of time from one's job.

I have to take a day off from work, so I'm doing a chronectomy on my time sheet.

postal text

The credits, often shrunk to the size of a postage stamp, that you try to catch at the end of a movie or film when it's shown on TV. Often interrupted by music that doesn't even belong to such a motion picture.

I wanted to see where this film was produced but the commercial came on and the credits became postal text.
