New words, new words!!

I don't have an original thought this morning (and that's different how?).
These are some that have been posted over the past couple of weeks, ones that I thought were fun.

from Doubletongued:
black-robe disease n. (of a judge) an arrogant attitude. Also black robe syndrome.

graveyard spiral n. originally, an inescapable winding descent of an airplane that leads to a crash; (hence), the rapid decline or devaluation of something, such as a career, a company, etc. Synonyms are dead man’s spiral and the far more common death spiral.

and my favorite:
lucky sperm club n. jocularly and as a group, children who inherit from wealthy parents, especially when the children are seen as undeserving.


and last, but definitely not least, something from another site....

Word Lustitude:
breasticular fortitude n. Who needs balls when you got bazoombas? (Not to be confused with lady balls)
Related terms: testicular fortitude, gonadal fortitude.
