renoviction 

Eviction of tenants resulting from a planned renovation of their apartment building.

Coined by Heather Pawsey in Vancouver. Truly an urban word.

The elderly couple faced renoviction when their landlord served them notice that they had 60 days to vacate. They feared that gentrification would price them out of the entire neighborhood.

Premature Remotation 

This action occurs while watching the DVR. As one fast-forwards through the commercials of their taped program, they accidently press play too soon--before the program has returned.

Declan fast-forwarded through the commercials of his favorite TV show, Breaking Bad, since he recorded it on his DVR.

While speeding by the ads at an alarming rate, he thought he saw Breaking Bad return and pushed play. Declan was wrong. He proceeded to do this two more times during the same commercial break. Declan needs to pace himself or he'll continue to experience premature remotation.

renoviction 

The act of evicting tenants from their rental houses and apartments by greedy landlords who announce huge renovation plans that require the emptying of units to be renovated. Once out, the tenants are not allowed to renew their leases until they agree to huge rent increases, sometimes double what they paid before.

This is a portmanteau word, a combination of renovation + eviction, invented by Heather Pawsey of Vancouver, Canada.

We got a renoviction notice today from the new building owner... they're going to divide the living room to make a new bedroom and replace the kitchen cabinets. We'll have to move out, but we're welcome to come back at double the rent.

Facebook's Witness Relocation Program

When your Facebook is full of a bunch of random friends, you lose control of who sees your information.....so you have to create a new Facebook account where in which you only add your "real friends."

Suzie Q. realized her boss was a friend on her Facebook account, so she couldn't put anything fun up so as not to dis-impress her boss. So, she became one of many to join the new trend of partaking in Facebook's Witness Relocation Program and made a new Facebook and put up all of her crazy pictures and only added her "real friends."

relocation code 

Your "relocation code" is the mysterious 4 numbers affixed by the USPS after the Zip Code of your mailing address. They are to be used for the forcible reconstruction of society into the New World Order according to the plans of the Shadow Government.

The Simpsons poked fun at the four additional digits of ZIP codes when Lisa asks what ZIP+4 codes are for, and is told that they are "citizen relocation codes".

rebolation 

The definition of it ain't easy to explain.
It can be seen as an action or as a result of an action.
It's often related to some sort of confusion and uncoordinated motion or thinking.
A rebolation is most of the times unconscious and the origin and cause of such behavior remains unknown.

He was acting normal, but suddenly he did a huge rebolation, leaving everyone in the room speechless including himself.

Reconation

A word made up by Community Corrections jabberwalkies. It has no definition other than the one found here. The word is used to cause a person to question their own thinking.

Mark wants to break us using moral reconation therapy, but he can't.
