ymca

A dance performed to the Village People song of the same name. Its main moves involve trying to form the letters Y-M-C-A with the upper body, although it includes other disco-style steps and slides.

My buddies dared me to do the "YMCA" dance at the party.

arctophile

A person who collects and enjoys teddy bears. Unlike "plushophile", this word almost NEVER implies a sexual fetish--only a sentimental interest.

Frannie is a serious arctophile if I ever met one: Not only did she have wall-to-wall shelves built for her teddy bear collection, but she also bought a database program just to catalog each bear by age and manufacturer.

AC/DC

A hard-rock band from the 1970s. Subject of many rumors related to Satanism, partly because of their song titles (e.g., Highway to Hell) and partly because of their name (wrongly believed to stand for "AntiChrist, Devil's Child").

Actually, I've heard that AC/DC took the name from a label on one member's vacuum cleaner.

awww

Used to express a sentimental reaction to warm fuzzy experiences. (The number of W's at the end is arbitrary, but at least two or three normally occur in this word.)

Awww...that kid hugging the teddy bear looks SO cute!
Awww, I love it when we snuggle...
