scaremonger

(n.) A person who invents threats to themselves and others everywhere. A form of critic looking for a lucky break to be proven right. Typically praises other scaremongers, 1984, hates the government, organised religion and trading systems while freely using the produce of any. Quite narrow minded and insecure, but will attract a lot of sheep.

I have the unfortunate trait of sometimes being a scaremonger.

ponzi scheme

1) A phrase used by idiots for any type of scam.

2) A specific type of scam. The operator (often from nigeria) of the scam promises "investors" that their money will be doubled in a certain number of days. The operator depends on the money provided by later investors to pay off his obligations to the earlier investors. This turns out splendidly for the early investors (assuming that it takes off), but later investors get the short end of the stick, as no more people are enrolling. At this point, the operator usually takes the money he has left and runs. This generally sucks for the later investors. Not that I care, because you have to be a total dumbass to enroll in a ponzi scheme anyhow.

1) Bill: these people are trying to make me think I can get a free iPod for answering a survey. Looks like a ponzi scheme to me.
Me: Bill, you dumbass. That's not a ponzi scheme.

2) Just great. I just got another one of those get-rich-quick spams. I'm amazed that anyone buys into ponzi schemes.

Schemer

A slang term that you use to call a person's long string of hair that noticeably protrudes out from the rest, usually due to the fact that the hair has been over-combed, unkempt and/or over-grown. Also can be spelled "Scheemer", to stress the proper pronunciation of the word. (Originated from the character "Schemer" from Shining Time Station.)

"Man John, you need a haircut. You have this gigantic schemer sticking out on the side of your head!"

SCEMO

This weird and wonderful creature is a cross-breed combination between an Emo and a Scene. This breed is rather rare but is multiplying in numbers, and when seen should be photographed for proof!

- A typical Scemo is often confused and in denile about being either one of them.
- Usually seen wearing drainpipes(skinnys), Black hoody, and a H&M kiddy top ... mostly found in either batman or spiderman or superman!
- Can have either the typical scene hair (fringe clipped across the forhead). Or the all in the face emo look. Or a mixture of both!
- Mainly found in Topshop, H&M kiddys, Or some form of a coffee shop..

Girl 1: Hey look at that, *points at snemo*, its an emo.
Girl 2: Thats obviously a scene you dumbass.
Girl 1: Nah i swear she's an emo, look at what she's wearing!!
Girl 2: Yeah but look at her hair...
Girl 1: I guess... I know she's a Scemo!
