journalist

A holder of any one of myriad possible jobs in the field of journalism, from the noble reporter of news on down to the gossip columnist or the sleazeball who puts his byline on a press release and submits it unaltered for publication. Derives from the verb "to journalize," which shares with the public's respect for journalists the fact of being non-existent. For reasons as yet undetermined, actual respectable reporters have even embraced this vacuous label.

From what he told me about his job I thought he was some kind of hard-nosed reporter dedicated to getting at the truth and telling it to the public -- but when I asked him again what he told me was, he was a journalist. So I shot him in the head.

"Alright people, I'm goin' on a journey, have fun!"

"Dude, I'm wasted and excited! I'm goin' on a journey!"
"Yeah, let's go!"
"No, you wait here, I may or may not be back later."

Rack du Jour

A phrase derived partly from the French (du Jour - 'of the day') used to describe the largest breasts (Rack) seen on a girl seen that day, or sometimes within an arbitrary time frame such as on an evening out. Thought to have originated in the early 1920s in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

Christ alive Orville, look at those tumblers. She's got to have the Rack Du Jour!

guerilla journalism

A form of journalism invented by Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein and Nellie Bly. It is the insatiable appetite journalists have to write stories on underreported and neglected topics in a community. These stories are often hard to swallow.

An unruly newsroom, lack of pertinent stories or an epiphany may inspire someone to engage in guerilla journalism.

Mark: Damn Tobey, that story in the paper today, on the homeless, was intense. What the hell came over you?
Tobey: I don't know, man. I guess that was some guerilla journalism.

journaling

a hobby that is a cross between scrapbooking, journal writing, collaging, and in many instances, sketching. not to be confused with online journaling, this sort of journaling refers to the type that results in a tangible notebook of images and words that creatively depict ideas and events in an individual's life.

Catherine: Why the hell is Lily writing and pasting images into that notebook on a Saturday night? Doesn't she have anything better to do than homework?
Susie: She's journaling.
Catherine: oh.

journey shot

A conglomeration of people drink a liquor shot to the band Journey's "Don't Stop Believing." Traditionally this shot is taken immediately following the lyrics "for a smile you can spend the night, it goes on and on and on and on."

"I was doing fine until the JOURNEY SHOT, and then I spent the rest of the night puking. Brutal!"
