Combining two examples given above, there’s a sorority at the local private college called Non Compos Mentis (literally, “not of sound mind”), which essentially recruits the skankiest hosebags they can find. Every chick in the organization- there were 40-50 of them, last I checked- is a big ol’ whore. Most of them are hot, too. It’s the one place on earth where \*Penthouse Forum \* stories actually happen. And I only got to go once ☹ ---

I credit myself for 2 – 1. A corporate or government agency rendered utterly ineffective by incompetent management has been _FEMA’d_ or _gone FEMA_. 2. To _calculatte_ is to figure out the price of those fancy Starbucks drinks. ---

I once referred to someone exceptionally stupidand irritating as a “fuckstacker.” It doesn’t make any sense, but sounds good, and it’s caught on among a lot of my friends. I predict it will someday be in common use. ---

At a previous job I used to provide PC support for people who, no matter how many times you told them how to do something, you still had to go through it step by step with them the next time. I was complaining about this to a co-worker and made the comment that this stuff wasn’t rocket science, it was so easy a monkey could do it. From there the term “chimpable” was born. ---

There was an episode of _Mythbusters_ that dealt with ways to instantly (or somewhat instantly) chill a beverage. One that actually worked involved making a mix of water, ice, and salt, and putting the (canned or bottled) beverage in the mix for 5 or so minutes. I tried it with canned soda at home, and whaddyknow, it works! So to this day whenever I want a soda and all I have are warm cans, I’ll say that I’m going to “Mythbuster” one - which is to say, chill it quickly in a mix of ice, salt and water. ---

The spouse and I use these a lot: **RNF Disease** : Stands for “Random Neural Firing”. It’s when you get in one of those moods where you just babble out whatever thought pops into your head. **Meanderthals** : Those people who just wander aimlessly around, not paying attention to where they’re going or whose way they’re in. You often find them in malls. **Butthead Momentum** : This is when you get stubborn about something (such as in an argument) and you refuse to back down even when you _know_ you’re wrong and just keep digging yourself deeper and deeper. Butthead Momentum is often accompanied by the sense of watching yourself do this like you’re a passenger in your own body, but sometimes you just forge ahead and don’t realize what you were doing until later on. ---

Lesbiant- a girl who’s going through a lesbian phase but doesn’t have what it takes to really be one. Lesboy- the guy equivalent of fag-hag or fruitfly. ---

Transphylite – someone who thinks he’s trapped in the body of the wrong species. Since it’s been published, if it ever catches on, I get cited in the OED. 🙂 ---

Well, it seems my term has already been in use–which is apropos, since Pete is a bit of a skank anyways. . . 😃 Tripler I tell ya, it’s the last time I say that word in public, though. :eek: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/words-or-phrases-you-have-made-up/459447.md?page=2)
