glot'al

The correct way to pronounce "glottal" is with a glottal stop. That way it's practically onomatopoeia.

A: "What's a glot'al stop, anyway?"
B: "You just made one."

cover-cover

A cover version of a cover version. When song C is clearly an uninspired version of song B which may or may not be an unspired version of song A.

In some people's book, a sin.

A: "Dude, your playlist is entirely made up of lame ass cover-covers of that old Tears for Fears song. Are you trying for emo kid of the year or what?"

B: "What are you talking about?!? Donnie Darko is awesome!"

happy holidays

"Happy Holidays!" is not a politically correct way of waging War on Christmas. Absolutely not. It's an abbreviation. A time-saver. In the words of John Stewart, "Now I suppose you could say have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year, but you probably have SHIT TO DO."

"Oh, hey! Gotta' run or I'll miss my bus. Happy holidays!"

trans folk

Transsexual and/or transgender people. Good word for allies who think other words sound clinical or awkward.

"Trans folk are totally awesome."

pixel paper

Synonymous with electronic ink displays used in e-readers like the Kindle or Nook but easier to pronounce.

I'm happy to hear that pixel paper is getting cheaper! Maybe I can afford an e-reader!
