govnoment

A portmanteau of "govno" (the Russian word for "shit") and "government". Used in place of "government" to imply that the government is shit.

The communists wanna kill me for not being exactly like them, the capitalists wanna steal all of my money which will just kill me anyway through starvation. Both forms of GOVNOMENT are shit.

I don't trust the govnoment.

gnomenclature

Gnomenclature is the science concerning the production of electricity. Inside of wires there are thousands of tiny gnomes awaiting command to begin high-fiving. When you flip a light switch on, it triggers a chain reaction between the gnomes. One high-fives the other and a domino affect begins, carrying exponentially increasing gnome high-five magic along a chain of microscopic gnomes, eventually leading to the bulb which is set to continuously run by a gnome performing interpretive dance inside the filament.

Cody - "I heard butt-town is all out of electricity, the papers are saying the gnomes are on strike"

Charlie - "What they need to do is bring some scientists in to negotiate the terms of gnomenclature with them"

Geonomen

The practice of naming or referencing a person by his or her locale.

It has become common practice in headline writing to refer to people by their location. In former times, this was not necessary because of the local nature of newspaper writing. Now, with news websites and national newspapers, this practice is required to give context to articles which may have been first published locally.

"Florida man caught with lobster in his pants" is an example of a geonomen.
