The position will remain open until it is filled

Once you have had a successful job interview with a university (or other state agency) and all of your references have been contacted, if you don't get a response about the job, the usual protocol is to phone and find out what's going on. When you hear "The position will remain open until it is filled," it means that there is a hiring freeze that no one is talking about.

"You gave a wonderful interview, and we could really see you teaching with us here at (insert university name here). Though you and the other professor were in fact short-listed for the only two positions you both interviewed for (meaning, one position was going to you and the other, to her), 'the position will remain open until it is filled.'" Translation: "We don't have any money or budget to hire ANYONE but we must keep up the pretense that there is work available, or else our potential student population will decrease as a result of a lack-of-confidence in our ability to attack quality instructors. In fact, our mandate is to weed-out tenure-track professors and replace their $100,000 positions with 3 Master's-level students who we plan to pay less than $33,000 to, each. But please keep calling so we can tell you that the position will remain open until it is filled. Have a nice day."

remake

What the American film industry excels at.

Stacey: OmG, like, The Hitcher, The Wicker Man, and Dark Water were a few of my favorite horror-thrillers of recent years!

Dave: You do realize those are all remakes of existing films, right? The originals are highly superior. The Hitcher '86, for example, is a beloved cult classic and a staple of any self-respecting genre fan's collection. Dark Water, is just another example of a somwhat dumbed-down Americanized take on an Asian horror flick (Japan in this case).

Stacey: I swear--like, I had no idea!

Dave: That's because your brain is comprised primarily of Tampax fibers and oxygenated lip gloss residue, and your soul is trapped in daddy's credit cards.

Stacey: Oxygenemated? Hehe big words make my head twirl! Anyways I like you! You're a naughty, sexy asshole you would belittle me at every possible opportunity--just what I craaave! Let's go get a smoothie!

Dave: You could use a remake--after all, there's lot of room to improve on the original.

Stacey: Cosmo! Brangelina!

remarkablous

An adjective used by James Lipton in X-Entertainment's Advent Calendar series, roughly meaning very good, exciting, astounding, etc. It is (apparently) a mixture of remarkable and tremendous or stupendous.

MISTA SNOWMAN: ...and then, at the end of the show, there's this big storm, and things are looking pretty grim... ...UNTIL RUDOLPH SAVES CHRISTMAS WITH HIS BIG SHINY NOSE! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SHIT?

JAMES LIPTON: NO I cannot believe that shit! Simply remarkablous -- I would not mind hearing that story again!

Remakequel

A portmanteau of Remake and Sequel, in which either a film is remade to retell much the same story, but the events of the original have already occurred (e.g. Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland) or in which a sequel is released which follows the story of the first again (e.g. Evil Dead 2)

"Evil Dead 2 is a remakequel because it starts when the first did, and tells the same story again, it just keeps going"
