pole syrup

(from the French "sirop de poteau") What Quebecers and others call imitation "breakfast syrups" like Mrs. Buttersworth or Log Cabin - suggesting that they are made by tapping dead telephone poles rather than real maple trees.

"Oh man, she made me pancakes in the morning, right? But all she had to put on them was some disgusting pole syrup!"

When the AI (artificial intelligence) in your phone starts to forget things.

"Siri, call my mom."
"Who? I'm sorry - what? I don't think I know the number..."
"Oh my God, are you getting AI-zheimers or what?"

Katrinkets

1. High-ticket items bought with insurance money following the Hurricane Katrina disaster. "Those indulgences you decided you were going to treat yourself to, even if you didn't have a house anymore." (Ronette King, New Orleans Times-Picayune, 5/27/2007)

2. Items found by volunteers during Hurricane Katrina cleanup efforts, that couldn't be returned to their original owners, and were saved as souvenirs.

3. Jewelry or other items made to memorialize the Hurricane Katrina disaster, sold as souvenirs.

1. "The plasma TV? Yeah, that's one of my Katrinkets."

2. Betty had a muddy Barbie doll on her shelf - a Katrinket from the time her church group went to New Orleans to help rebuild some houses.

3. "I went to a street fair when we were in New Orleans - I mut have bought about a dozen Katrinkets."
