neo-zombie

A term often used synonymously with zombie. However, neo-zombies are not deceased and therefore have the ability to run. These are human beings that have been infected with a virus through a bite or some other means. Infection can take seconds, minutes, or even hours. Once infected, the brain retains base facilities, namely gross motor function. In its near-mindless state, it grasps no remains of emotion, personality, or sensation of pain. These creatures have one interest... to eat human flesh.

Although the running zombie first appears in cinema with "Return of the Living Dead" in 1985, the neo-zombie did not appear until 2002 with "28 Days Later" by means of the Rage Virus.

Other films that feature neo-zombies include:
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
DoomsDay (2008)
Zombieland (2009)

So what do you prefer, the classic Romero zombie or the fast neo-zombie?

Negavance

To advance one's own agenda, career, reputation, etc. at the expense of another person or group, specifically by criticizing, tearing down, embarrassing, or belittling that person or group. Such behavior is in lieu of advancing one's own agenda, career, reputation, etc. solely on the merits of such.

We've all seen people in the office who like to negavance into job promotions or sweet assignments -- they usually leave a trail of bodies.

Neon Telephone

When a famous musician writes a song for your band, but it's a terrible song — a la Prince's "Neon Telephone" for the Three O'Clock.

"I thought we'd be famous, but we got a Neon Telephone."
