A artistic performer with an act that is strongly linked to some particular gimmick that makes it stand out from the crowd, even though it has little intrinsic value, and is therefore likely to wear out its audience quickly.
The term sometimes refers to a performance itself, rather than the performer behind it.

- Lady Gaga's persona is all about outrageousness, extravagance and shock value, but as far as actual performance quality goes, it's safe to say that she is the biggest novelty act to come up in many years.
- The Blue Man group, initially conceived as a novelty act in the late 1980s, has demonstrated tremendous longevity, becoming a permanent fixture of the stage scene in cities like Boston, New York and Las Vegas.

Get the Novelist mug.A company that makes networking tools, security products, and server enviroments (OS's). Many people only recognise Novell because they may use the Novell networking tools to sign into thier workstation at school or work.
Novell at one point had bought out the rights to the entire Unix kernel, using it to base their products; which is why their products are so secure and their servers are so stable: they have decades of testing into them.
Novell now funds the SUSE Linux distro for sale and for free use. They are also switching most of their corporate and networking products to the Linux kernel.

Fact: A midwestern university once found that they had forgotten about a Novell server that had been running for 13 years with no downtime.

A synonym for mini-goths. In essence those children aged 12 and upwards who dress in (what they believe to be) gothic clothing, talk about slitting their wrists like it's a cool thing to do (the talking, not the slitting), and tend to listen to bands such as: Sum 41, Blink 182, HIM, The Rasmus, Slipknot, and anything else of that ilk.
