Mystikan's definitions

schizophrenia

Condition in which person's perception of reality differs from that of most others. Commonly believed to be an illness; in some instances this may be the case, but in others it may be that the person exists in a transcendent state that has not yet been defined or detected by science.

I live two lives. One is as a Web developer and programmer on a planet called Earth. The other is as an intergalactic diplomat from the Ammethane system. Both are equally real to me. Neither has adversely affected my existence as a functional being in the opposed reality. But most of you who read this would say I suffer from schizophrenia.

Weekend Warrior

1. Army Reservist; part time levy trained in basic Army procedures to be called up in times of war. 2. City boys who snaffle their mother's SUV to go poaching rabbits with their .22s until the farmer comes and blows their tyres with his pump-action 12-gauge.

1. All the regulars were in Iraq, so they called in the weekend warriors to handle the riots downtown last week.

2. Hah, I see the weekend warriors are out tearing up the paddocks again! Where's my damn shottie?

Strine

A word coined by Americans to describe the Australian accent. This word is not used by Australians, and American tourists who use it in Australia soon learn not to. See also cobber.

Yank tourist: "I gotta brush up on my Strine!"
Me: "Strine? Hmmm, a sucker... Hey mate, you wanna buy a galah for 50 grand?"
Yank tourist: "Yeah, sure will buddy!"
(I walk away 50 grand richer while Yank tourist gets 10 years for exporting wildlife that farmers shoot as a pest!)

holistic

blue sky mining

The practice of completely stripping a region bare of all natural resources without regard to sustainability, such as clearfelling a rainforest, intensive cultivation without fertilizing, or open-cast strip-mining a mountain range. This phrase was also used by 80s rock band Midnight Oil as the name of a popular song.

If we continue blue sky mining the Amazon rainforests, pretty soon we won't have any oxygen to breathe!

pissgasm

When you're busting for a piss, and finally get to let it go, a pissgasm is the spine-tingling wash of relief that makes you go "Oooaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"

Mate, when I finally got to break the seal at the pub last night, I had a real pissgasm!
