Shenzhen Special

A Shenzhen Special is any cheap, Chinese electrical gadget designed to 'emulate' the expensive, brand-name original.

However, being cheap and poorly made, the device will either have limited functionality compared to the original, or will fail to work after a short time. But you get what you pay for.

The name is derived from the city in China where most of this sort of crap is made.
"Nah, it's not a real iPhone, it's just a Shenzhen Special. I only paid $30 for it though."

"Can it make calls?"

"Er, no"

"And now it's on fire..."

Zachary Special

An unfortunate situation in which the male partner of a newly wed couple, in a fit of over excitment, looses a deuce all over the bed and his female companion. Arguably the most embarassing thing that could happen to anyone, victims of the Zachary Special are normally extremely awkward in all situations and lack normal human dignity and swag.

If you receive a Zachary Special, you might want to rethink your life because something this bad could not happen to someone who has not done something terrible in their life.

The Special is named after no particular Zachary, but zachary just happens to sound like an extremely awkward name and it would happen to someone named zachary.

special interest

A "special interest" is one I do not share. One I do share is "the public good".
Labor is a special interest; breaks for manufacturers like me are the public good. We create wealth - at least for ourselves.
