1. A subject of the unexplained, unknown, paranormal, cryptozoology, ufology, or other related field. A subject that is considered Fortean is one that cannot be explained through known means.

2. One who studies and investigates the unexplained.

3. Of or relating to Charles Fort. The term is derived from the name Charles H. Fort, author of The Book of the Damned, New Lands, Lo!, and Wild Talents, who is widely regarded as the father of paranormal investigation.

As a Fortean I frequently investigate cases of hauntings, UFO sightings, and strange creates.

forgetabilia

The word first arose in 1996 in my feverish imagination when I was confronted by a New York City lawyer whose office was cluttered with meaningless memorabilia. I saw nothing memorable or valuable about much of his stuff and chose to redefine it.

Some people like to collect memorabilia. I like to throw away forgetabilia.

forgetard

When some one is constantly reminded of a medial task or process and always forgets it. Then becomes belligerent and defensive and accuses the person who is reminding them of hiding or withholding the information from them, hence sounding retarded.

In the workplace you usually find them in management positions and is a natural progression to micromanagement.

Person: Hey Boss, why don't you use your computer to track the shipments?
Forgetard: I am in charge around here and you have never shown me how to do THAT!?!
Person: Sure I have just hit F4 like I showed you Monday.
Forgetard: You have never shown me that, things are going to change around here! All further shipments, sales figures and customer interaction must go through and be approved by me. You are not to be trusted!

Ratfucker

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.

Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.

countrypolitan

Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.

That ol' gal of mine drives the 12 lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
