sidetalk

Quiet conversation that takes place between people who are sitting beside each other during some kind of committee meeting or official gathering. When enough goes on, and as sound grows exponentially, it can be loud enough to distract the chairperson or whoever is speaking, as well as annoy those who want to carry the meeting's agenda forward.

During the meeting, the mayor became so frustrated with all the sidetalk going on between the city councillors, she finally yelled, "Can you all pay attention to what I'm saying for just a second?!?"

dumtard

A combination of "dumb" and "retard". Very similar to "tard" and "f***tard" commonly in use today. The beauty of this term, however, is that it avoids slandering those who are truly mentally retarded and doesn't come across as being overly vulgar and offensive. Best used when someone has shown a momentary lack of intelligence and reasoning in offending you in some way.

Bob: "That guy just cut me off AND he's driving slower than me! Man, some people!"
Larry: "What a f***tard!"
Bob: "Well, maybe so if he did it on purpose. For now, I just think the guy's a dumtard."
Larry: "Suit yourself."

honay

The absence of homoeroticism in television or film. In a way, it's the opposite of hetyay.

Stan: "The increase of hoyay in TV and movies misleads the gullible and impressionable into thinking that homosexuality is on the rise when really it's not. Me, I'm more of a honay kind of guy."
Trish: "Did you say 'horny'?"
Stan: "No--honay, as in I say nay to hoyay."
Trish: "Oh, I see."
