Downward Class Migration

A broadly-impacting and relatively permanent economic transition for an entire nation whereby the majority of people found across all socio-economic classes of that nation each get moved downward from their current socio-economic status to a lower class level. For example:

-- Members of the Upper-Middle Class get moved down to the Middle-Middle Class.

-- Members of the Middle-Middle Class get moved down to the Lower-Middle Class.

-- Members of the Lower-Middle Class get moved down to the Lower Class.

-- Members of the Lower Class get moved down into Poverty Status.

The phrase was first used by American social commentator and prepper guru Jack Spirko in his daily podcast “The Survival Podcast” in October of 2008.
"As the American dollar weakens and the economies of China and India strengthen, millions of Americans of all socio-economic status will experience downward class migration and get moved down by at least one whole class level."

Host Migration

An annoying part of Modern Warfare 2, where the host decides to be a jackass and leave the game, leaving you and the other players suspended at your positions, awaiting the dreadful migration to end. In other words, it's the worst part of MW2.

Mancation

The most ultimate man-only vacation. Usually this trip involves heavy drinking, getting kicked out of something, and nearly dying. At camp sites, everybody who is not a mancationer hates the mancationers, likely because they can not understand the sheer awesomeness that is Mancation.
JD: Hey Big Steve, you going to the Mancation this year? It's going to be awesome!

Big Steve: I don't think so, last time I went I got too drunk and started eating Tums like candy. I shat a rainbow the next day!

JD: What's your point?

Mislation

The process of an object accidentally falling to the ground, only to land up in the most illogical location imaginable. One could also use this term to describe a thought process that becomes so derailed, as to end up being the most improbable and awkward. To mislate something.
Yesterday, I had a case of mislation. As I took my keys out of my pocket, my friends wedding ring fell out and I couldn't find it. An hour later when I was in the kitchen, I found it in the drawer resting under a tea-strainer!

You've got to see Adam when he's been drinking, total mislation of thought. He started off telling me about his job and ended on a conversation about snail venom.
