legalese

A way of talking or writing used mostly by lawyers and corporations, as a way to explain and elaborate every square inch of the matter at hand - creating an airtight verbal bubble that leaves no room for ambiguity.

This is done by writing as little as possible with as many words as possible, in such a way that Average Joe won't have a single clue what is presented to him, yet agrees to it because he couldn't care less about reading page up and page down with all that legal nonsense before he gets to use his new computer program.

Average Joe: "Your program destroyed by PC! I'm suing!"
Big corporation: "You can't. You consented to waive all your customer-, civil- and moral rights upon agreeing to our Terms of Use license before using the product."
Average Joe: "How was I supposed to know that?! It was 72 pages written in legalese!"

legally blind

The amount of vision one has where they can see, barely, but not enough to drive a getaway car.

I'm innocent. I am legally blind, so how am I gonna drive a getaway car?

George W Bush Legacy

A Train wreck spanding over an eight year period of time that has sent our nation into the Great Depression II. Nobody claims any responsibilty, but everybody points a finger at someone. a very confusion debate full of visceral animosity.

Dude, The George W Bush Legacy is so fucking confusing, I don't know who to be pissed at! We need a collection of Conflicting Opinions to riffle through so we can tell who to shoot.

Lagaloser

Someone who is really awkward and quiet, and is constantly late to his friend's houses. He laughs through his nose and never does his homework. Teachers tend to cross him out on their attendance sheets, either because he's on their hit lists or because they want him.

Friend 1: Where's Chris?
Friend 2: Oh, that Lagaloser! He won't be here until 7:30.

Legacyquel

A film or series "in which beloved aging stars reprise classic roles and pass the torch to younger successors." Matt Singer coined this word in an article about Star Wars: The Force Awakens, also mentioning Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a legacyquel to the original films.
