gank

Steal something, but generally in a harmless way.

Dude, I ganked a beer from your fridge.

Lemme gank a dollar, so I can get a pop. (The use of "gank" instead of "borrow" implies that there will be no payback.)

nomo

Someone who is not a mormon (opposite of "momo").

I thought Justin was nomo, but then I saw the Book of Mormon in his car and realized he was momo.

When I go to Salt Lake City, I feel like everyone can tell I'm nomo just by looking at me.

Jimmy Diesel

Slang for a two-cycle diesel engine manufactured back in the day by GM Diesel (later known as Detroit Diesel, later known as MTU) -- "Jimmy" being casual slang for "GM."

These newfangled engines may be better for the environment, but them Jimmy Diesels were tough as hell.

Screamin' Jimmy

Slang for a diesel engine manufactured back in the day by GM Diesel (later known as Detroit Diesel, later known as MTU). They were "screamin'" because they were loud, and "Jimmy" being casual slang for "GM." (Also known as "Jimmy Diesels.")

My job in 'Nam was to make sure them Screamin' Jimmys kept screamin' on the patrol boat, otherwise we'd have been sitting ducks for the vietcong.

idiokey

A combination of "idiot" and "monkey" (synonym: monkiot). Refers to someone given no authority or autonomy (treated as if they are "doing a job any monkey could do"), and who therefore feels no responsibility to make good decisions or deviate in any way from what they have been told to do.

I got my boss's boss to sign my expense report, but the idiokey from finance refused to pay it until my own boss returned from vacation and signed it.

alien robot zombies

Something that loses its credibility and/or enjoyment because of over-embellishment.

(1) He had everyone believing he was the President's brother, but the more he talked the more alien robot zombies his story got.

(2) The first book in the series had great a storyline, but now it's just alien robot zombies.
