the Geritol crowd

Senior citizens. Could be used affectionately, humorously, derisively, or simply as a matter of fact depending on the speaker's tone of voice and whether s/he is a senior citizen.

John, give the Geritol crowd a break when you get on the bus. Those "Priority Seating" signs are there for a reason. It's very difficult for a senior citizen who needs to get around to do, say, shopping, to sit down or get up if s/he has sciatica and is forced to sit in the back of the bus.

John, sit on the toilet and make a cocky. We've got company coming, and they don't like to hear the mating call of the poot bird!

CD rot

A condition seen in cheaply-made CDs or ones that have been exposed to water, polluted air, dust, etc. for prolonged periods of time. Usually manifests as an unusual coloration, "crud" growing, and partially or completely unplayable areas of a CD. So much for the wonders of modern technology!

I can't believe this! I just bought the new Gustav Mahler 5th Symphony recording and it already has CD rot!

accidentogenic

Having very unsafe driving habits, e.g. cutting into traffic from a single narrow lane into a four-lane highway without signaling; making a right turn from a left lane; running red lights, etc.

Mr. Nilsson is a heavy drinker and very accidentogenic. I wouldn't get into a car with him if my life depended on it!

LMC

Last-Minute Charlie (or Charlotte). When you're on a bus and the bus is ready to leave, you'll often see these people running to catch the bus. Very annoying when you're in a hurry and the green light is about to change to red.

Damn! I'm late for work and we've got the green light but there are five LMC's coming up. We'll be stuck for five minutes when the light changes!
