workplace apparitions

A phenomenon that occurs more and more frequently the longer you remain at the same worksite, an artifact of your cohorts retiring or dying.

This has been a very heavy week for workplace apparitions.

apparati

People who stay on the cutting edge of i-phone / smart-phone apps, and who always have the latest app for any imaginable function downloaded to their phone. Rhymes with literati, glitterati, digerati, etc. Has the virtue of also being the Latin for apparatuses, which the apparati, of course, always have in plentiful supply to run all their apps.

Dude 1: "Dude, I just downloaded an app that organizes app-organizing apps according to the compass direction that points from my position to the GPS coordinates of ISP used by the developer of the app."

Dude 2: "Dude, You have officially joined the apparati."

apparential

Pertaining to appearance.

The formal, the juxtapositional, the thetical, the sensual, the objectual, the functional, and the designative are all congruent to the apparential.

apparition

A type of ghost. This ghost is usually confused with mirages and hallucinations. This ghost is one you can only see. Comes in ball, shadow or full detail form.

Apparitions are only ghost that have the power to show themselves by visionary means.

American Apparel

A store that sells a bunch of brightly colored spandex, body suits, leotards, and some other crap that you are never going to wear, but nevertheless want.

Clara and Violet are in American Apparel.

Clara- Omg, these magenta spandex leggings are adorable!

Violet- You're never going to wear them.....

Clara- It's American Apparel. All the stuff I buy here I dont wear. I dont care. They're cute and I want them.

Clara never wears the leggings.
