Cheermageddon

Cheermageddon : noun : [cheer-muh-gehd-n]

Definition: A season of incredibly overwhelming cheer; also, the most epically friendly black friday ever.

     Cheermageddon is Old Navy's Black Friday theme, which is where the "most epically friendly black friday ever" comes from (which you can check out at cheermageddon.com).  On the other hand, it's actually a really creative word that can and should describe the season we are now entering: the Christmas season.  Let's just say that as cheerful as it may be, I'm glad that I'm staying out of shopping malls and department stores today.  I'll wait for the 12 days of Christmas to be overwhelmed by cheeriness, thank you very much.

     Oh, and this is pretty funny:

Flabulous

Flabulous : adjective : [flab-yuh-luhs]

Definition: A description of someone who is very overweight yet acts like a diva.

     In celebration of this, the most fattening holiday of the year, we whip out a word all about being proud of your size.  Not that we're saying everyone gets fat on Thanksgiving, we're just saying... well let's say the flabulous may have the fourth Thursday in November as their favorite day of the year.  Or one of their favorite days anyway.  As an unrelated-to-Thanksgiving note, I've always imagine this word going well with the phrase, "You go girl!".  Just some food for thought.

Tasty Up

Tasty Up : verb (phrase) : [tey-stee uhp]

Definition: To induce hunger for a specific food.

     Have you ever had someone talk you into wanting a certain kind of food, say pizza or a milkshake? That, my friends is being tastied up for something.  Like the other day when all we could talk about was going to Chick-fil-a.  Now I just really want to go to Chick-fil-a.  I got tastied up by my brothers yesterday and now it's what I want.  Lucky for me we're having hot wings tonight, so my craving will be suppressed.

Intelevator

Intelevator : noun : [in-tel-uh-vey-ter]

Definition: An intelligent elevator.

     Oh just another video for all of you to watch.  Because that's just the mood I'm in.

Mandle

Mandle : noun : [man-dl]

Definition: A manly-scented candle.

     I truly feel no need to write anything.  I need only let you watch. (Maybe it's me being lazy today, but still.)

Skyentist

Skyentist : noun : [skahy-uhn-tist]

Definition: An alternate name for an astronomer; a scientist that studies the skies.

     I seriously don't understand why this one isn't a real word.  If someone wanted or needed to hire more astronomers, all they'd need to do is change the position name to skyentist and people would flock to work there.  Honestly, I'd even consider it, and I hate the idea of being an astronomer.  Or perhaps we'll just reserve that name for the brand of scientist that will study the skies on other planets one day.  It would be a way better option than calling them "extra-terrestrial meteorologists".  Gross.

Kluge

Kluge : noun : [kloozh; klooj]

Definition: A witty yet inelegant solution that succeeds in performing a particular task.

     Thank you Red Bull for bringing this word to my attention.  Kluge is a slang word, meaning it still has a home here, plus it comes with an incredible video giving an example.  But you have to watch it all to get what it means.  It's basically a Rube Goldberg machine with a human element too.  But don't take my word for it, watch the incredible kluge they make just to... well, I won't ruin it.
