Apocalyptican

A person who believes so strongly in the apocalypse of 2012, that they totally throw their lives away to whatever thinking that even trying is to no avail towards a happy, "normal" life.

Teenage apocalypticans usually drop out, become assholes towards other people, or just do whatever they please at an attempt to be happy thinking their lives are going to end soon anyway.

But positive apocalypticans usually try to make haste with their "short" lives and try to do good in the world, like trying to help the environment, or protest the war, or just try to be a good person altogether.

John tries to be the best person he could be, he's a vegetarian, he cares for the environment, and he's really friendly, and at the same time, Mathew is just sitting in class staring at the ceiling while he waits impatiently for the bell to ring so he can get out and hang with his friends at the mall, both very different, but they're both apocalypticans.

Apolonia is a really nice girl and you are lucky to meet her. She is smart, ambitious, sarcastic, funny, kind, and a great friend. She gets anxious eat times and stressed which may annoy you but her flaws fade away when you get to know her. She can help you through your bad and good times and always knows how to have a good time.

Apolonia is my best friend.

apocheir

If you look from the side of at a planet swinging around in its orbit, split the sun with a mirror and imagine a string, it all looks like a yo-yo. The point furthest from the sun is called aphelion. The point furthest away from the yo-yo hand is called, by analogy, apocheir.

Benny Profane, a schlemihl and human yo-yo, gets to an apocheir.

Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse Now is a movie based off the plot of the Joseph Conrad's 1902 novella "Heart of Darkness". The movie was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and stars Martin Sheen as Captain Benjamin L. Willard and Marlon Brando as Colonel Kurtz. Although the book was set in the Congo, the film was made into a Nam movie and was therefore set in Vietnam and Cambodia during the war. The basic plot is that Willard is sent up river to kill the rogue Colonel, who has been operating without orders and out of U.S. military control for some time. Both the book "Heart of Darkness" and the film "Apocalypse Now" are very symbollic and offer unique interpretations on several themes, but rather than try to discuss all of these you should really just read/watch the book/movie and keep an open mind.

"Apocalypse Now" is a pretty crazy movie that makes a lot more sense if you read "Heart of Darkness" First.

Corporate Apologist

Some clown who basically worships coporate America and Money as a god. They could be treated like slaves, and are totally blind to the crimes of the Corporate Genies. Whats even worse, if anyone tries to fight corporate corruption, they dont hesitate to go on this whole blabbery "Thats life", and justify the abuses by blaming the activists as being lazy, and unwilling to work. All they can see is the corporations side of the spectrum. They would call someone lazy for being angry for not getting any time off after working 10 years straight

Some corporate apologist called me a lazy slug after I had exposed the way the boss expects us to work 14 hour days just so he can have a fatter paycheck at the expense of the workers.
