The Legendary Ironwood's definitions
1. A prefix used to create the superlative form of an adjective or adverb. Also used for emphasis to stress an idea/emotion. Is superior to the prefix "plus."
ex.
doubleplusgood = fantastic/wonderful/amazing/etc.
plusgood = great/fine/better/etc.
This term originated from George Orwell's novel, 1984 as a part of the modified English language of Newspeak. In the book, doubleplus was used to eliminate "unnecessary" words to limit one's vocabulary/ability to express.

from the book...
"If you want a stronger version of "good", what sense is there in having a whole string of vague useless words like "excellent" and "splendid" and all the rest of them? "Plusgood" covers the meaning, or "doubleplusgood" if you want something stronger still. "

Get the doubleplusmug. A game that is much like Hide-and-go-seek, but is considered less juvenile, so is played by older people. Game works best during the night, and outside. This is played with two teams who alternate being the Hiders, and the Seekers.
After a designated period of wait, the Seekers scavenge the predetermined territory for the other team. After a Hider is found, rules vary on how to officially tag, he is brought to the area marked as prison. From there, fellow teammates can free him. Game is not over until everyone is found.
Note: Game eventually causes great chaos and arguments over rules and teams. A smooth playing game is rare.

Get the shoddymug. A conformist body spray that is used by guys, often in heavy doses. Often the user likes to make extremely evident through scent, or verbally, that he is wearing the aforesaid deodorant.
Many guys (and women) were hypnotized, by the excellent use of advertising, to believe that they are using it because it smells good. When in reality the real product is a spray bottle marked, "Axe" that is tied to many marketing gimmicks.
