teddymandering

Teddymandering is the practice of changing a law to benefit your political party, then reversing the change when your political party will benefit from the original rules to which you objected.

Named for former Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy, a.k.a. "Teddy" Kennedy. Senator Kennedy influenced the Massachusetts state legislature to change the Senatorial succession law during the 2004 election. His reasons were strictly because Senator John Kerry, if elected President, would be replaced by an appointee of (then) Governor Mitt Romney, a Republican. At the time, Kennedy was against any interim appointment until a special election could be held.

In 2009, as he neared death from brain cancer, Kennedy asked the state legislature to revise the law so that the governor could make an interim appointment. The governor of Massachusetts in 2009 was (is) Deval Patrick, a Democrat.

I don't give a rodent's rear end if the voters of Massachusetts didn't vote for the teddymandering of Kennedy's Senate seat even if they voted for the voters voting for a vacated senate seat before they voted against it.

Telyx

A Banyan, and the greatest unknown scientist and theoretician the world has ever not known. Able to crumple foes into dust with sheer brainpower. Has the highest power-to-weight ratio* of any Banyan, too, which comes in handy when he's had a few.

*He's not all that heavy.

Some quack started babbling about creationism and "intelligent design," so Telyx explained the Big Bang, inflation, and supersymmetry, and the quack exploded into dust on the spot.

Twilight Telly

Noun. Rubbish programs which are on television from 1am to about 6am. Nobody watches them, because most people are in bed that time, and the only ones that are up are either getting drunk in bars or working night shifts. Nevertheless, TV channels feel they must put on all of their reject programs, such as documentaries about police car chases and plastic surgery procedures.

I woke up the other night and couldn't get back to sleep, so I turned on the TV and watched five minutes of "When Penis Surgery Goes Wrong", and before I knew it, I nodded off again. Thank you, twilight telly!

Teddy Bear

A word to mean a man/guy who is chubby, cute and cuddly. They are usually tall with exotic names. If a Teddy Bear has a girlfriend, she will never refer to him by his real name but only by "Teddy Bear". They are very lovable and give free hugs and free teddy bears.

Person 1: Look! There's a Teddy Bear over there!
Person 2: Nah, that's just Patrick
