Nobled

To have your life completely ruined by one individual. To neglect your children, be a dead beat dad, and to cheat on your former spouses. To be 26 years old and be a complete waste of human skin. To be the tough guy everyone laughs at, and to be an all around fuck up. To be a self proclaimed legend of being a bad ass. One who uses material objects as a form of popularity. To claim anyone new you meet as your new "family". Pretty much be the guy no one likes, but cares not to say anything, for the fact it's good for laughs.

Girl 1. I went out last night and got Nobled.
Girl2. Nobled? Whats that?
Girl1. I mt the biggest douche bag ever. He lived in his "Glory days" and made himself to be a self proclaimed legend, of nothing.

notalentism

a new fad sweeping the U.S. where bands that all sound the same, with the only difference being the band name, that can't really play music are getting wide accreditation and almost ruining good festivals with their presence.

We the Kings, Metro Station, All Time Low, and other pop-punk bands like them that just suck. the popularity that these bands are getting is an example of notalentism

noblesse oblige

Literally means, "nobility obliges". It's generally used to imply that with wealth, power, and prestige come social responsibility. It's mostly used to refer to the wealthy who are condescending and shower their money and privileges upon those who don't necessarily want it.

Our landlord gave us a basket of fruit for Christmas, as his noblesse oblige.

Noble Gas

Derived from science, noble gas has come to mean anything boring, lame, unreactive, or discrete.

Jane: Yesterday, I told my husband our baby was a hermaphrodite, and he didn't even blink.
Jenny: He's such a noble gas.

noblessez-faire

someone elected to government noble enough to avoid cronyism, and allow citizens to prosper

(portmanteau combining these French terms, used in English):
1. Noblesse oblige: Whoever claims to be noble must conduct himself nobly.

2. Laissez-faire: transactions between private parties free from state-intervention --------> 3. (my neologism)

People running for office -- as wealthy as Ross Perot, Mitt Romney, and John Kerry -- would ideally be uninfluenced by lobbyists' money, level the playing field by the principle of "noblessez-faire".
