n. A fake not-for-profit organization, usually set up as an Internet fraud scheme, that exploits or has exploited such events as 9/11, the Haiti earthquake, tsunamis in Southeast Asia, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to dupe people out of large sums of money.

Get the conprofit mug.Coprolite is a noun meaning fossilised animal faeces. The word literally means “dung stone” and comes from the Greek kopros (dung) and lithikos (stone). Usually coprolites are animal manure and, between 1860 and 1890, were mined commercially in Cambridgeshire England and processed to be used as a fertiliser. When you think of it, it’s not that much of a surprise, after all it is fossilised shit. What is also not too surprising is that the word has also come to describe a person who is old, set in their ways and a thoroughly disagreeable arsehole as well. So if you have a boss, teacher or acquaintance who fits that description, congratulations, you know a coprolite.
