popunder

Internet popup ads that appear and automatically minimize. Even more annoying than popups, because you have to open the image and then close it.

I'd been browsing sites for several minutes and hadn't looked at my system tray. When I did, I noticed I had 42 popunders.

Friendly Confines

Chicago phrase for the greatest ballpark in the world, Wrigley Field. Unfortunately not, by any stretch of the imagination, home to the greatest baseball team in the world. Coined by first baseman and coach Ernie Banks.

Win or lose, it's always a good afternoon at the Friendly Confines.

thundersnow

A strange weather phenomenon first widely discussed in winter 2006, involving a thunderstorm with snow instead of rain.

Thundersnow would be a great name for a heavy metal band.

cribster

A baby who is forced to become trendy by its urban hipster parents. More and more boutiques in upscale neighborhoods cater to these parents, stuck in 1/3-life crisis, who buy their baby clothes and accessories that are essentially scaled-down versions of the Hot Topic product line. It's a way for young moms to live the party life vicariously through their child, 16 years before that child will be allowed to party.

I don't know what's more disturbing: that the 35-year old mom in Starbucks is wearing a babydoll shirt that says "Sex Kitten"... or that her cribster is wearing the same thing.

BEF

Similar to Best Friends Forever (BFF), Best Enemies Forever (BEF) means two people who love to hate each other and rip on each other every chance they get. They are sworn enemies who form a bond of hatred so strong that it's more like a perverse kind of friendship.

Bill: "Goddammit, I hate that asshole Craig! Who does he think he's trying to impress??"
Dan: "Dude, will you stop talking about Craig? When did you two become BEF?"

clockblock

When you're looking forward to leaving work early or on time, but are kept late either by a new assignment from your boss or a chatty coworker.

I was all set to rush out of work at 5:00, but then I got totally clockblocked by my boss and wound up staying till almost 7.
