Spoonie 

A word used to describe a person with a chronic illness, which originated with the spoon theory that helps explain what it's like to have a chronic illness to people who are in good health.

It is very popular amongst people who suffer from P.O.T.S.; Post Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, which is a form of dysautonomia characterized by many symptoms which includes fainting, extreme fatigue, low bp, fast heartrate, hypotension headaches, low blood volume, exercise intolerance and more. It is chronic and has no known cure although large amounts of salt in the diet, drinking constant fluids, compression stockings, and medications have been known to help with some symptoms.

My favorite spoonie items are compression stockings, shower chairs, and salt tabs :)

spoonfeed 

v.

1) to give out information in an overly obvious, even patronizing manner. Done intentionally for the purpose of being rude, or perhaps done by a teacher too lazy to engage his/her students in discussion (by attempting to prevent discussion by leaving no room for speculation). Done unintentionally by people simply trying to be clear (I'm toeing the line right now, lol), or by those who don't understand the power of understatement. When such behavior is comical--see captain obvious

2) Telling people only what they want to hear, or only what you want them to hear, aka, disguising opinion as fact.

Not to be confused with spoonfed, which refers to those who are unable to care for themselves physically or mentally and so must rely on others. Derogatory.

1) Example:
Customer: So, what's wrong with my car?
Mechanic: Well, there seems to be a problem with a differential...differentials are sets of gears that...
Customer: Hey, no need to spoonfeed me, sir. Just give me the facts.

2)Think back on all the political speeches you've ever heard or polit. editorials you've read. Remember the ones telling you to 'take heart in the current crisis, and stand strong, because America is God's country and we WILL triumph over evil'?
yeah. Spoooonfeeeeeding

soon

The most hated word by mcyttwt/dsmptwt.
If someone (preferably a cc) says "soon" they probably mean 4 months to 1 year.

"There will be lore soon"

real soon now 

A vague measurement of time, typically applied to delivery of a software project. It is used sarcastically, to indicate that the product has missed one or several promised delivery dates, and rather than embarrassing themselves by announcing and missing another deadline, the developer is simply saying it will be ready "real soon now." When someone says a product is due out "real soon now" chances are they really don't expect it any time soon. Also abbreviated as RSN.

First they told us that the product would be done end of first quarter, then they changed it to late second quarter, and since we're well into the fourth quarter, we can expect to see it real soon now.

spoonful of pills 

The act of gorging oneself with prescription narcotics until your face droops and words are slurred beyond recognition.

Yeah. She's by her car trying to talk to her reflection in the window. She loves a spoonful of pills.
