kamikaze

A fountain drink composed of multiple random shots of soda from a self-service soda fountain. Due to the inherently chaotic nature of the drink's creation, no two kamikaze drinks are ever the same. Also called a suicide, since you take your life in your own hands when you make this drink.

Etymology: Named after the Japanese suicide pilots of WWII.

I'm going to the 7-11 to get a kamikaze. Want to be my designated driver?

Jossed

What happens when a passive-aggressive writer feels compelled to recreate his childhood bullying. Starts out by giving his audience lots of love, encourages them to believe things will turn out well, then backhands them at the end--and they inexplicably come crawling back for more.

If you watched Act III of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, you probably got Jossed.
