pseudo-cousin

pseudo-incumbent

In District 11, Rep. A (R) is currently in office. Rep. A(R) chooses not to run in the 2004 election. Mr. B(D) wins his partys nomination for the election. No one from Rep. A(R)'s party runs his office. Since Mr. B(D) is the only one running for the office, Mr. B automatically wins and is a pseudo-incumbent.

Pseudo-Sarcasm

A statement, when made, that is meant to be interpreted as sarcasm, when actually, it is not.

After coming out of my bosses office with a raise instead of the ass-chewing that I expected, I announced, "Man, I LOVE my job"... Everyone thought I was being sarcastic, when in fact, I was using pseudo-sarcasm.
