A niblet of shit.
A small kernel or morsel of turd commonly found in the underpants after an unexpected shart.

Less commonly occuring after taking a shit and failing to completely pinch off the last stubborn nugget. Even cursory wiping typically removes this variety, but in rare cases this pinch-pirate will subsequently (and apparently randomly) release itself to be discovered in the briefs at a later time as a shiblet.

When entangled in ass-hair, may also be referred to as a klingon or dingleberry - though a free, unobstructed turd kernel discoverred in the tighty-whiteys is always referred to as a shiblet.
"Wot's this? A shiblet in my gonch? That ripper didn't feel wet... huh, I guess I must've sharted."

Bob: "Dude, I just found a ball of hash on the floor, let's party!"
Jon: "That's a shiblet man, don't smoke it! I found that rolling around in my gooch last Friday and flicked it at the ceiling... it must've fallen down."

Shibboleth 

A flavor of the month word that entirely too many people are suddenly using.

It means something like a custom or belief attributed to a group or class of people, especially one outmoded. (Thanks Oxford)

I propose that it should mean someone who uses trendy 'new' words to fit in with the current blog crowd using the same damn word, relentlessly.
"God damn, did you see that Shibboleth? He started saying every new blog buzzword of the day like it was going out of style. What a Shibboleth."

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
