Glossary for the Brave New World
January 18th, 2007 at 11:00 am by CrankyHere is a handy set of terms which will help you understand the current political scene:
Obamad – To find oneself in a near-ecstatic state by the discovery of the perfect liberal icon.
Sheehanigans – The tendency of one to spout incoherent babble and socialistic platitudes as a mechanism for dealing with grief. (see also Codepinkeye)
Peloosened – The unwillingness to deliver on committments after promising them. Alternate definition: the creation of excess flappy skin caused by a rapid bulging of the eyes.
Chapaquitted – A state of near invunerablity. The ability to say or do incredibly stupid things without being called into account. Often associated with being born into royalty.
ALotted – A state of being committed to one’s personal power base to the deteriment of the entire team.
Tortalitarianism – Creating a just and better America with opportunities for all by suing corporations. A cause championed by Sen. John Edwards.
UPDATE: Thanks to the boss, here are some additions – which I thought of.
Sharptonion: The ability to see racial discrimination in everything, including a simple glass of water.
Murthanasia: Incorruptability and intellectual authority because of prior military service
Jeffersoned: When the FBI finds money in your freezer, ie, “Damn, da man come bustin’ up in my crib an I was all Jeffersoned an shit”.
McKinneyed: Getting out of almost anything by sayin’ “Don’t you know who I am?”, or knowing that I don’t have to follow the rules because I am an oppressed black woman.
I’m pretty good, if I may say so myself.
UPDATE II: More
Hanntagonize: The act of inviting a person into a three to five minute dialogue but berating that person non-stop instead.
Kossified: The petrified state of a liberal’s brain after 3 days of reading the Daily Kock.
Rangletarian: Anyone against the “Lynching” of a murderous POS dictator.
Reidtardation: Stomping on legislation that your own party put forward to reduce corruption.
UPDATE III: Even More
Krugmania: when one makes the false assumption that an expert in one field is an expert in all fields. Also, the belief that your side is always right, even when they disagree with you, in which case you ignore them. Also, the belief that the other side is always wrong, even when they agree with you, in which case you also ignore them.
Atriosity/atriosious/atriosities: A liberal or liberalism that is well-known, yet void of any substance.

Sharptonion: The ability to see racial discrimination in everything, including a simple glass of water.
January 18th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Murthanasia: Incorruptability and intellectual authority because of prior military service

Oh,, and
Jeffersoned: When the FBI finds money in your freezer, ie, “Damn, da man come bustin’ up in my crib an I was all Jeffersoned an shit”.
January 18th, 2007 at 1:50 pm
McKinneyed: Getting out of almost anything by sayin’ “Don’t you know who I am?”, or knowing that I don’t have to follow the rules because I am an oppressed black woman.
Glad to know that I was able to make such an impact on Congress while I was there. Gonna’ make a run in ’08, suckas.

Oh yeah – this is good stuff – Cranky, include these additions in your post and don’t give the original authors credit. You know, just to spite them.
January 18th, 2007 at 3:08 pm
Kossified: The petrified state of a liberal’s brain after 3 days of reading the Daily Kock.
And Cranky/Preston…as a big Prick, I have no problem with you guys using anything I contribute without attestation. The fact that you guys let any of my stuff through in the first place is good enough for me.

Damn good! But I can see clearly that the simple glass of water you refer to is a racist. Can’t you?
January 18th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
Rangletarian: Anyone against the “Lynching” of a murderous POS dictator.
January 18th, 2007 at 4:32 pm
Oh, I’m using Chappaquitted. Instant classic. Let us know if any of these come back to you.
January 18th, 2007 at 5:03 pm
O’Fatisfaction: Expressing righteous indignation whenever you feel your particular “minority” was the object of “insensitivity”, whilst openly ridiculing other minorities.

Great brainstorming – if we weren’t a third-tier blog, this post would be all over the blogosphere and hailed as “genius”.
Then we’d get sued by Rich Hall ‘cuz he’s penniless.

[...] Jeez. Cranky at Six Meat Buffet manages to better analyze the current political climate better in 303 words than I’ve done in the last year (including several well-publicized rants in my underwear near the Pizza Hut in Deming, NM)! [...]

Preston,
Is this what you were looking for/referring to?

Doing simple math that according to libs I’m really not smart enough to do, if a 1st tier blog like The Jawa Report calls a 3rd tier blog like 6mb “genius”, can you add 3+1 and divide by 2 [(3+1)/2] and acknowledge that 6MB is now a “2nd tier” blog?

Atriosity/atriosious/atriosities: A liberal or liberalism that is well-known, yet void of any substance.
Examples: Charlie Rangel, any Kennedy, Barbara Boxer.
Charlie Rangel is simply atriosious.
Whoops! John F’n Kerry just committed another atriosity!
January 19th, 2007 at 4:52 pm
Does that mean it’s time for an open thread, Beth?
January 19th, 2007 at 7:13 pm
Might as well be, Preston! I’ve got nothin’ anyway!
