yogababble 

Spiritual-sounding language used by companies to sell product or make their brand more compelling on an emotional level. Coined specifically about WeWork’s IPO prospectus in 2019, which was full of phrases like “elevate the world’s consciousness” and at the same time showed problematic financials. Yogababble is intended to disguise or compensate for practical or financial weaknesses in a business or product.

Coined by Scott Galloway in his piece “Yogababble” on his No Mercy / No Malice blog.
That’s a bunch of yogababble. How will your company actually solve world hunger?

A misspelling of the word “euonym”, the winning word from the 1997 national spelling bee.

In the animated television series Metalocalypse, bassist William Murderface, while practicing for his appearance on celebrity spelling bee, insists that he is a great speller despite the fact that he spells everything wrong.

Also an example of the meaning of the actual word, euonym; a name well suited for a person, place, or thing. William is described as being hideously ugly and grotesque, thus making his last name, Murderface, a euonym.
Murderface: Y-O-U-A-N-D-H-I-O-M… youandhiom.



Murderface: Hey, I don't care how wrong it is. Just admit it; I'm a great speller and it burns you.

Toki: You're not a great speller! You got to spell right to be a speller!

A derogatory term to describe the new urban hipster who practices yoga, and can be seen wandering the city streets fourbucks latte in one hand, cellphone in the other, yogamat slung over their shoulder.
As I entered the coffee shop, two "yogabonds" with rolled yogamats slung over shoulder rudely pushed their way past me gibbering about chakras as they guzzled their lattes in a mad rush to get to the nearby Yoga studio and "relax".
