Frankenbite

1. A frankenbite allows editors to manufacture "story" efficiently and dramatically by extracting the salient elements of a lengthy, nuanced interview or exchange into a seemingly blunt, revealing confession or argument.

2. In reality television, the process of editing two or more sound bites together to create a different result, to fix grammar, or to change to meaning of a sentence.

Example: Adding "not" to the phrase "I'm here to make friends" results in "I'm not here to make friends".

Please frankenbite that interview so he is speaking in present tense.

Al Franken

The United States senator who finally gave the Democratic Party the 60 votes they needed to keep the GOP from filibustering the country to a standstill.

Jon Stewart: "(Senator Arlen) Specter's move (switching political parties) puts the Democrats within a hair's breath of an unfilibusterable 60 seat Senate majority.

So now it appears the Senate's balance of power--in many respects, the very future of our nation--is in the hands of Al Franken."

Frankenbike

A bike built up from various components scrounged from different sources (friends, swap meets, craigslist, etc.).

Elmo didn't have the money for a new bike, but he managed to assemble a Frankenbike from stuff he had lying around the garage and a few parts he picked up cheap from craigslist.

Flanker

In rugby: the name given to players numbered 6-7. These individuals are well known to be gentlemen off the pitch, but as soon as they step onto the pitch they become animals, tackling anyone who comes near them, and often starting fights.

'look at that tackle' 'he must be the flanker'
'any idea who started the fight?' 'probably the flanker'
