A comic strip character, created in 1910 by George Herriman. The comic was named 'Krazy Kat' and was first published with this name on 1913. It ran until 1944, when its author died.; also a term used by my dad, that I thought was a nonsense word until I found the previous explanation - thanks to Google.

an overused term, blindly adopted in 2004 by television program promoters, used to describe what in the past had been known as a new episode; oddly enough, it actually describes trite, predictable and teen-angst filled shows (primarily on the WB) with storylines that are rotten, spoiled, and rancid; often reduces an unsuspecting viewer to periods of involuntary vomiting; similar to the term bad

term created by a loyal Bush Watcher. As it has been variously described, it's a combination of dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, apraxia, illiteracy, ignorance, laziness, passive-aggressiveness, inappropriate humor, and an arrogant attitude of privilege. --Politex See Bush Watch

a term often used to describe a paper, write-up, report, manual, or transcription that is nowhere near completion and subject to a complete rewrite at the drop of a hat; usually applied to documents required to be completed by a specific date, that had little or no attention given to them until the night before they were due.

an individual who unashamedly posts unfounded, fantasy-based statements - representing them as facts, and when publicly challenged, responds with even more absurd babble. see yahoo message boards for examples.

a person who feigns attentive listening, and performs sympathetic gestures with the purpose of convincing the person speaking that they are being heard, understood and agreed with; most often resulting in development of false confidence and trust.

slang term used to describe a fish that attaches itself to a larger, faster moving host, for the sole purpose of gaining entry into areas not normally accessible when under its own power; also applicable to many individuals in the business world with a strong desire to be noticed.

"what once were strengths, are now vices"; as corporations focus on returning to their core competencies, it is critical that they consciously shed themselves of the no-longer-desired truths that are firmly embedded in the unethical value systems of their executives; highly undesireable, embarrasing, and potential for legal action.

term used to describe a well designed web site's use of graphics and icons that have been developed with a consistent "look and feel"; contrast with inconiconsistency - the condition seen when rank amatuers select clip art from the default PowerPoint selection set, mixing styles, genres, and taste.
