selling out

To compromise one's values and/or aristic vision in order to gain fame and/or monetary profit. Commonplace in today's musical society. It is rare to find a successful musical artist who has not "sold out", however, this is not to say that they do not exist.
Good Charlotte never sold out. Selling out requires having some artistic vision in the first place.

Spelling

Something that a great many intelligent and creative people have problems with. The lack of this skill is a cause for alarm among the English majors. Mechanical memorisation that is beat into you in grade school that causes a life long dislike for the English language
If Spelling is the essence of great writing why don't we have a great proofreaders section at the library ?

Steplingus

Finding out, typically when one or more of the parties are in a drunken stupor, that a step-sister has had a secret crush on you for some time. Typically the lush involved uses words like "probe" and "hot" as they slur out their heretofore private lust. The recipient of these unwanted advances struggles to escape the ranting, slathering monologue. Future gatherings and holidays can be particularly awkward, especially since other family members (siblings) who witnessed the horrific event typically know what the drunken strumpet confessed to...even though she may not remember.
Dude...my step-sister Kelly totally pulled a steplingus on me...she told me how she always thought I looked HOT, especially when I used to drive my old Ford Probe. She said she wanted me to probe HER. Her breath smelled like she tossed salad. I had to swallow my own vomit before I could escape from her drunken confession. I can't sleep anymore from the nightmares.
