Duchemin

A man, often a teacher, who acts as if he knows all and is better than any other. He makes frequent references to others' parents referring to their awful parenting skills. He wishes you confided in him, but you would never do such a thing. A duchemin is also very forgetful and impersonal, letting words go in one ear and out the other.

What a duchemin, all he talked about was himself; it was like an infomercial.

Get the Duchemin mug.

dunch

dunch n (blend of "lunch" and "dinner"; cf. brunch) - a small meal between lunch and dinner in the late afternoon or early evening (about 3- 5 pm.).

This is a more appropriate word for an intermediate meal that once suggested "linner," because it is more similar to lunch than to dinner and is more brief (one syllable). It also follows the model of the neologism for another intermediate (or combined) meal - "brunch."

Dunch usually includes tea or coffee with cookies, sometimes a sandwich.

For tomorrow, I have already scheduled lunch and dinner with my colleagues. Let's have a dunch together.
