lebenstraum

The need for sufficiently expansive accommodation as to the scope of one's dreams -- that the degree of allowance be livable.

-- So they don't quite understand, that the smallness of the dreams that are socially-acceptable for me to pursue, aren't very livable. I need more!!

-- Ah, you need lebenstraum.

sexpension of disbelief

An IMPLICIT call on long-past sexual-favours for current or future moral-support which may run counter to the inclinations of all but a minority in the group.

-- Okay, so, like you know how, formerly, people might have many kids to insure for some old-age security?

-- Yeah.

-- Whereas now we have pensions...

-- Okay....

-- So it isn't procreation anymore which provides benefits, but sex itself.

-- Ah-ha, so a broad network of past lovers with hope translates into a large network of friends.

-- Exactly. Benefits lead to friends, and friends can be called-on for help and moral-support even when it's challenging for them at-times.

-- Ah-ha, a sexpension of disbelief!!

Beardo

Second understudy to Greedo and first-understudy to Beedo. While Greedo got speaking-lines and Beedo got screentime, Beardo is just hoping for a lucrative action-figure contract.

-- I'll trade you a cat's eye for a Beardo!!

-- Don't be silly. There's no Beardo. There isn't even REALLY a Beedo -- he's just a recycled Greedo. THAT's greed, for ya!!

-- Yeah...mercenary.

-- But at any rate, it would take more than that for me to agree to lose my marbles for such an exchange.

-- Gimme five!!

-- That's TRES seventies -- I LIKE!!

-- Say, what do you call a Greedo in a Speedo?

-- I think you may NOW properly be thought to have lost those marbles.

-- RELAX, I was 'riffing' on the Seventies.

Rod-Love

Less cone-ventional than cone-love, rod-love is more basic, elemental, and riveting a condition, presenting complete bewitchment.

-- Whenever he beholds her his heart eats itself out, his brain and central nervous system go into a state-of-shock, and all his rods go crazy.

-- I thought it was a mere infatuation.

-- No, I fear he has full-blown rod-love for her.

Canadian penny

A member of the Canadian federal public service who is due to be cut, just like the one-cent piece.

Blogger one: 'Did you hear they're cutting the Canadian penny?'

Blogger two: 'Yeah, just like noone will miss them, noone will miss low-level workers in the public service.'

Blogger one: 'Yeah, Lewinsky and Tripp were 'peons,' but people noticed them, so I guess that's the difference between a 'peon' and a 'penny.'

Blogger two: 'They also had a stained-dress, though.'

miserly-angel

Where a woman, to the man's arguably limited perspective, seems both SO generous and yet so ARBITRARY in her offer, such as to induce mental meltdown in the man as a feedback loop he can't process.

-- So he couldn't understand how she was SO generous and yet so ARBITRARY in her offer, and this is now his major pre-occupation.

-- Ah, he feels she's a miserly-angel, and now he worships her.

The Behind the Music Presidency

Formula-narrative driven public-consciousness regarding the President's Progress, where epic heights are routinely imperiled with chasmic pitfalls, and where for every second speech the 'stakes could not be higher,' will 'define his/her presidency,' and invites the usual cliches by the typical pundits.

-- Phew!! I'm just glad that, for all the upheavals, that things are finally going great!!

-- But wait, are they?! Sure, if there's a great speech to be given, he's more intrepid than FDR (who rationed his fireside chats, so as not to be overexposed,) but this next challenge coming-up will DEFINE HIS PRESIDENCY!!

-- It's the Behind the Music Presidency...there's always the VP Oprah fallback position....
