Urban Dictionary #1

Urban Dictionary is a daily word subscription service that shares terms commonly used by today’s culture.  Much of it is irreverent, but they occasionally have some very funny terms and definitions.  Here are a few of my favorites.

  • award show - To go "award show" is to get all tearful and emotional in front of an audience.
  • bipodding - Sharing a single set of headphones attached to one iPod. One person holds the iPod and takes the left earbud, the other takes the right earbud.
  • cinemuck - The combination of popcorn, soda, and melted chocolate which covers the floors of movie theaters.
  • connectile dysfunction - The inability to gain or maintain an internet connection.
  • fly naked - To fly somewhere with the bare-minimum of belongings, and purchase the rest where you are.
  • hostage lunch - Meal purchased by the company, often pizza, and delivered for employees whose bosses require them to attend a meeting or work over their lunch hour.
  • mantastic - Feeling fantastic after the successful completion of a particularly macho feat.
  • March Sadness - As opposed to “March Madness”, March Sadness is the deep, depressing feeling that comes when your favorite team has lost.
  • multislacking - Doing multiple slacker-esque things concurrently.
  • multitasking - A polite way of telling someone you haven't heard a word they said. Commonly used on long conference calls when the speaker is monotonous.
  • pre-pull - The act of pulling the car door handle at the moment the driver unlocks the door, rendering the attempt fruitless, and resulting in minor frustration and/or embarrassment.
  • remail - Attempting to follow up on previous email messages which have gone unanswered.
  • truthenize - To brilliantly inform someone of a harsh truth that they were either ignorant of or tried with everything they have to ignore. The resulting truth leaves the liar impotent. Powerless. Usually a truth about themselves. Like Euthenize. But with the truth.
