glocalization

Describes the notion that technological advances (telephony, internet, air travel, etc.) have effectively decreased perceived distance between people such that one's social network can be global and feel local.

I thought when my sister moved to the East coast for college that we'd lose contact, but since we IM every day and talk on the cell phone, it's like she still lives in the house.

That's glocalization, dude!

Glorious Disaster

An event so heinously appealing it captivates all spectators despite the horrible and often graphic nature of it. This term is most commonly used in reference to butchering a date or 1st time sex.

Vinny: “We’re bringing Kristopher to the movies with us Friday to see Cloverfield”
Brian: “The new kid with the alligator skin shoes, a lisp, and a 1970’s haircut?”
Vinny: “Yeah”
Brian: “Wow I can’t wait to watch this Glorious Disaster unfold”

globollocks

Breathless and/or mendacious "Globalization" pieces from neoliberal commentators. A lot of pop economics insists that increased trade in services, intellectual property, and equities will solve every significant problem.

The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) is always good for a large steaming helping of globollocks.
