gerrymentia 

When a legislator gerrymanders so much, they forget what district they belong to.
“There goes poor Rep Schroer, suffering from gerrymentia. He’s gerrymandered so much, he doesn’t even know what district he lives in anymore.”

David Gerrold 

a second rate writer based in the USA whose main claim to fame is writing the TV episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" for the popular STAR TREK television show. Recently he can be seen selling overpriced stuffed "tribbles" at various science fiction conventions he attends. They usually go for $20 each. He also has a website in which he asks readers to donate money for various personal requests (in the summer of 2006 it was to give his dog an operation the dog needed).
He has written some novels and short stories such as the adaptation of the planet of the apes movies into paperback format. I have met him and found him to be rude and arrogant to anyone who 1) also wants to be a writer 2) has anything good to say about Stephen King

(PS to Mr Gerrold: Stephen King is a DAMN good writer, instead of being so jealous of his literary genius realize that Mr. King worked his #$@#%$5 off to become that way. Why dont YOU do some of that instead of selling us those cheap overstuffed ear muffs you call tribbles at conventions?")
David Gerrold wrote "The Trouble With Tribbles" and has never let the world forget it.

Gerry's Moustache 

A moustache of legendary power and definition, it was once believed to hide the eighth wonder of the world. One legend says that his mother actually gave birth to the moustache and that it grew Gerry.
I heard Chuck Norris shaved once... from the loose scraggles of unkempt hair that fell on ol' Chuck's floor grew a man. That man was Gerry's moustache.

Data Gerrymandering 

Intentionally changing what the data actually show to fit a claim furthering an agenda. Anytime someone ignores, suppresses, or alters findings, results, data or statistics to fit their agenda. This could be media skewing a graph to hype fear (ex. of violent crime, drug use), politicians ignoring data needed to accurately assess a policy (ex. Lead in the water), social scientists beefing up a study's results to be published, companies claiming a product is safe (ex. Pharmaceutical clinical trials), and everyday users of Twitter who offer a "poll" to show what 'everyone' thinks.
The graph showing the increase in violent crime nationwide was obvious data gerrymandering because the statistics were only taken from the cities with populations over 1 million.

The Senator was gerrymandering data when he said that giving ex-felons the right to vote would mean all the convicted terrorists will be able to cast a ballot.
