pompous windbag

One who loves the sound of their own voice so much they have convinced themselves they actually know what they are talking about. They often take jobs which will allow them to talk and give them a captured audience, such as a Psychology teacher.
Dr. Nicodemus is such a pompous windbag. We could have learned everything he spent an hour talking about in five minutes. He sure does love the sound of his own voice.

Pompous Pep

"Pompous Pep," otherwise known as "Endangered Species," is a euphemism for the Vlad/Danny slash ships in the Danny Phantom fandom. Most ships have code names of this sort (Skulker/Danny is Callous Quarry; Walker/Danny is Jail Bait; Clockwork/Dan is Meddling Minutes) so as to make searching for stories with that pairing easier for fans.

For example, a lot of stories might have the words "Vlad" and "Danny" in the description, but more often than not those are father/son fics. Likewise, Skulker is always chasing Danny, and Dan is hardly ever seen without Clockwork right behind him. This is just a simple mechanism the fans created to simplify searching for their favorite pairings, though most fans would like to viciously strangle whoever came up with the sometimes less-than-appealing names.
Girl 1: I was reading some Pompous Pep the other day, and it was so cute! And Danny was TOTALLY trying to molest Vlad, and... o3o
Girl 2: Stop. Just stop. -__-
Girl 1: T^T

no pomo

A phrase which can be used at the end of any political statement which seems to borrow from postmodernism, but is still coherent and anchored at least partly in reality. Postmodernists often sound theoretically vague or obfuscating, which is anathema to many on the political Left. Other leftists, however, embrace some selection of postmodernist theory, but may not want to be associated with all that is labeled postmodern. And so "no pomo" is used to allow for such statements by preempting dogmatic leftist tirades and flame wars.

"No pomo" is a reference to the phrase "no homo," used by masculine straight men to allow them to compliment their comrades by preempting the accusation of being "gay."
"While the class struggle is clearly a critical component to any meaningful revolutionary politic, one cannot ignore the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality and ability, as well as the nuanced and problematic issues of essentialism and identity in general ... no pomo."
