Inbubbletion

Inbubbletion : noun : [in-buhb-uhl-shuhn]

Definition: A bubble, within a bubble, within a bubble, etc.

     Though this isn't a word that one might use on a regular basis, it was still clever enough to put on the blog.  I actually got it from this here poster that I stumbled upon one day:

     Clever, right?  Plus, this Dairy Queen commercial is another form of inbubbletion, you might say.  Except with kittens instead of other bubbles.  Still good enough for me.

Oreoverdose

Oreoverdose : noun,verb : [ohr-ee-oh-ver-dohs]

Definition: An overdose of Oreo cookies.

     We've all done this before.  Eat too many Oreo cookies, that is.  For me this happens about as frequently as we actually have Oreos in our house.  The last time I had an oreoverdose, I didn't want to eat Oreos for, well, the next lifetime and a half.  And an oreoverdose is the twelfth leading cause of death by overdose, as well as the number one cause of death by Oreo.  Alright so maybe it's not that bad, but this picture sums it up pretty well.

     Yup.  That's about right.  So be careful people.  Oreos are not to be messed with.

Democalypse

Democalypse : noun : [dih-mok-uh-lips]

Definition: The collapse of the democracy (more or less) and, in some cases, civility during this election season.

     Alright I'm taking this one from The Daily Show with John Stewart, but this is just too good to pass up.  Democalypse 2012 is the name of Stewart's coverage (use that word loosely people, it's a Comedy Central show) of this year's race between Mitt Romney and Barak Obama.  And he puts up some pretty funny stuff, yes he does.  Like this segment on Big Bird, among others that can be watched on that site.  Pretty funny stuff and, sadly, true in many regards.  Oh politicians, how you make me laugh.  And strain my brain to figure what in the heck you're talking about half the time.  But I guess that's the way things are in 2012.

Uvà jéd

Uvà jéd : noun : [oo-vah zhed]

Definition: Déjà vu, except when things play out exactly backwards.

     This actually happened to me.  In real life. Seriously.  We went to a high school marching band show to support my brother's high school and we listened to talk radio on the way down (not the annoying political kind, the entertaining late night kind).  Anyway, when we started back, we listened to the EXACT SAME THING.  It's because they were filling a broadcasting gap with the show we had just listened to.  It would have been déjà vu, except it was BACKWARDS.  For seriousness.  Needless to say, my mind was BLOWN.  And 'uvà jéd' was born, in that exact moment.  Give or take five minutes.

Belieber

Belieber : noun : [bih-lee-ber]

Definition: One who believes in Justin Bieber.

     For starters, I AM NOT ONE. A belieber, that is.  I basically believe that Justin Bieber is... Well I won't get into what I think about that sad excuse for a musician.  I wouldn't have even put it on here had it not been for this picture that I saw someone had posted on Facebook the other day:

     And the answer is yes, yes I do have a problem with that.  A big one.  But as long as you stay outside of the proverbial fence of rational common sense (though in this case it's a pretty realistic fence of common sense) and the rest of us stay inside said fence, we will all get along.  Same goes for you, "directioners", just stay away and we'll all get along.

Taxmageddon

Taxmageddon : noun : [taks-muh-ged-n]

Definition: A spike in taxes on nearly all Americans.

     So I'm not really a fan of throwing out political narrative on this here word blog, but 'taxmageddon' was too good of a word to pass up, so I suppose it deserves at least a little explanation.  The idea is that if congress (already lame duck) and President Obama (possibly name duck-to-be) don't pass new tax legislation by the end of the year, something like 88% of American households will get hit by an immediate increase in taxes.  This goes for everyone, from the lowest possible bracket to the rich of the rich.  This means that in the lowest bracket the hike will be something like $400 extra next year, the average household will pay more or less $3,500 more, and those that make the low six-digits annually will tack on upwards of $6,000.  And as for the rich?  The top 1% will pay another $120,000+ next year while the top 0.1% will pay around $630,000 more. And in case you're interested, all of those numbers come from The Fiscal Times.  And yes, with taxes like that we could like enter Recession 2.0.  I think taxmageddon is an accurate of describing the situation.

Understandment

Understandment : noun : [uhn-der-stand-muhnt]

Definition: A very, very, very good understanding of a situation, and/or between people.

     When people have to figure something out, they general work their ways towards an understanding. Well when they understand the situation beyond any doubt or question, they have reached an understandment of said situation.  It's like when you just get someone, and they get you.  No questions asked, just plain understandment.  It's a pretty good thing to have, and understandment.  At least I can't think of anything that would be bad to have an understandment of.  Which is probably a good thing.
