Nepotism

Nepotism (the practice among those with power or influence of favouring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs.
2. The act of using your power or influence to get good jobs or unfair advantages for members of your own family.

The word originates from the mid 17th century and derives from French népotisme or Italian nepotismo, from nipote ‘nephew’ (with reference to privileges bestowed on the ‘nephews’ of popes, who were in many cases their illegitimate sons).
Are Donald Trump’s political appointments the result of nepotism?

Nele

Nele is far from ordinary. Nele is the incarnation of a life-adventure. It seems like Nele has two personalitys, one which is really calm and peace searching. And the other one that will overwhelm you with it's power and confidence. Her sexual aura will attract many persons of all gender, but just few of them will find their way through to the nucleus of Nele. Be aware, never try to change her in any way, you will find yourself directly in a big discussion that goes right into your soul. By the way, Nele loves soccer and visits regularly all kind of sports museums. The spiritual side of Nele (which can be quite complicated to understand) thinks, that packet soups will save the world. This might sound unlikely, but she deeply believes in it and that's all that matters. Her outfits are always appropriate and creative. However her hairstyle can be improved. You had a bad day? You are bored on tuesday at 1am? Don't worry, calling Nele is your solution. Her endless hunger for knowledge and her joy in literate conversations, will turn long summer nights in a ken expanding experience. She has the thankful ability to let distance feel not relevant, yet if you know her and can't be around, you will freakin miss her and the magic she is bringing to your life. Nele is a person, that shines deep from her heart every day with a beauty that will leave you speechless! If you know her, you can be very lucky about this treasure. Nele is one in a million.
She is...no words needed. Damn, who's that girl over there who dances like no one is watching? Bro, I have Alzheimer and still can't get her out of my head. I know Nele since a long time, but I discover her still like on the first day. Nele is Nele and forever Nele.

nerdtool

n. 1. a person who is predominantly a tool but who also displays conspicuous nerd traits. COMPARE toolnerd
Ben is unquestionably a tool: witness his pompous verbiage and affected white shoes. Yet he is undeniably nerdy, as well: his squirrelly face and squinty glasses could only belong to a nerd. Since he is more tool than nerd, he is a nerdtool.

Nerd Hangover

A situation where one falls asleep in the AM leaving open a browser window composed of dozens of tabs containing interesting intellectual stuff, philosophy, art, linguistics...take your pick.`
Couldn't stay up any longer. When I awoke, my computer greeted me with a Wikipedia page called 'List of bridges in Slovenia', followed by a tab showing thirty-seven alternative covers for 'Alice in Wonderland'. Of all the many tabs I had left open for myself, only one was left on Facebook. Man, I do not want to have to go through all this stuff, I have such a Nerd Hangover right now...
