I recently stumbled on some pretty amusing neologisms:

  • Toastaphobia: The fear of sticking a fork in a toaster even when it's unplugged.
  • Adam 69: Two police cars, parked next to each other, facing opposite directions, in such a way that the drivers side doors are only inches from each other, allowing the officers to chat with each other while waiting for a traffic violation to happen.
  • Sark: The marks left on one's ankle after wearing tube socks all day.
  • Pre-autoistic McConsumption: The tendency to start eating your french fries in the car on your way home.
  • Idiot Box: The part of the envelope that tells a person where to place the stamp when they can't quite figure it out for themselves.
  • Ancinemation: The curious act of waiting in line to see a movie and watching exiting movie goers' reactions to see if they liked the movie or not.
  • Downpause: The split second interruption of rain as you drive your car under a bridge.
  • Lactomangulation: Manhandling the "open here" spout on a milk carton so badly that one has to resort to using the "illegal" side.
  • Televator: The rolling line on a TV when the Horizontal hold isn't adjusted.
  • Alcolean: The point just before a drunk person starts to stumble.
