NWoTD - Slimformation

Today's new word is inspired by the near never-ending drivel spewing forth from Tony Snow's fetid maw. And so today's new word is....

Slimformation - passing on just enough information to get by but not really enough to know anything of value.

And also,

Mislimformation - passing on just enough bad information to be plausibly deniable. They've stopped even trying to do this since they are just out and out lying (see Tony Snow's recent lies about George Bush never having said we should "Stay the course" in Iraq despite the literally hundreds of instances it can be found online).

I suppose there might also be a version called slimeformation but that gets a little hard to parse.

New Word of the Day - Freaktard

Inspired by today's news about Paramount firing Tom Cruise for his creative suicide over the last year.

Freaktard - a freakin' retard. See Tom Cruise.

Note, some people will object to my use of 'tard in this fashion. Tough shit. I could defend its use by talking about the regression Cruise visited on his career by acting like a moron on numerous occasions but I really don't give a damn right now.

New Word of the Day - Prettiot

There are some many terms to use to describe the attractive moron. But today's new word came to me while watching Elizabeth Hasselbeck get all huffy and stupid about Plan-B on The View (I saw it on YouTube via The People's Republic of Seabrook cut me some slack).

Prettiot - a pretty idiot. Of which there are plenty.

New Word of the Day - Sentimount

Oh yeah, this is the way some guys work their mojo and get a little sack time. Its the offer of the shoulder to cry on in the hopes that a moment of emotional weakness will lead to some bow-chicky-bow-bow, that is, some sexing.

Sentimount - pretending to give a damn about a girl's (or, in rare cases, a guy's) emotional turmoil in order to exploit her temporarily weakened emotional state to get some sex. Try not to be a sentimountal fool.

New Word of the Day - Funnoying

Hi kids (yep, I'm wearing that one out today) you know what's funny AND annoying? Why that would be funnoying.

Funnoying - being both funny and annoying. Like its annoying that my favorite shorts no longer really fit me and funny because I'm skinnier now than I have been in about ten years so its funnoying.
