- Chocolate Pony
- 1. n. Something SO INCREDIBLE that it's unreal.
"Man, if they ever make a Dino-Riders videogame, that would be sweet like a chocolate pony."
- 2. n. an atom of the material from which awesome things are made.

- Cosmic Coincidence
- 1. n. an event of surprising coincidence that can be strangely meaningful. Related to the
Baader-Meinhoff Phenomenon and highly similar to synchonicity.
This is basically just the term we came up with to describe something that we didn't realize was already
described and termed. However, I would like to note that simply the fact that humans have a predisposition towards
perceiving coincidences as meaningful is not proof that they are meaningless. If God has set the cosmos in motion
on the grand scale and with its infinitesimal minutiae, and He has certainly created humans
individually each with their own unique minds, then who is to say that such coincidences are NOT grandly orchestrated for the
purpose of being noticed? Or in some cases, maybe He just thinks such things are amusing. I cannot believe
otherwise than that God has a sense of humor.
- Dicseanary
- 1. n. A dictionary written by Sean, compiling useful non-words created to describe very specific ideas
or clarify common concepts.
- 2. n. This very collection of loosely related terms that are derived from events I witness and media I

maybe someday profit.
- Fnarg (F.N.A.R.G.)
- 1. n. An early project that was almost a board game. The rules were incomprehensibly convoluted, and the
balance of play was so perfect that nothing ever happened except by extreme luck. All moves of advancement
were punished so that no forward progress was made until the game was decisively, but inexplicably, over.
- 2. acronym. "Fnarg is Not A Real Game" (F.N.A.R.G.) [specifically, a recursive acronym]
- 3. n. A game that is very pretty to look at but not very fun to play

- Fredgetable
- 1. n. A term that refers to any edible food.
- 2. [Fredgetate] or [fredget] v. To eat food. This spawned the etymology:
fregetate-> fredget-> fredgeat-> 'jeat-> 'eat. And, that, my boy, is how the word "eat" came about.
- Halloween Process
- 1. n. a time-tested process that is hindered by "cleverness" which is really a misunderstanding of the
goals of said process. For example, going up to that nice old lady's door on Halloween and getting some change
instead of a few pieces of cheap candy. The idea is that money is better than candy, because you can do more with it.
But you just wanted some candy, so now you have to take the money and go buy some yourself.

buzzards.

- Lasterday

- Nexterday
- 1. n. The next day like this day. The context determines the exact meaning. For example, in general context,
it means tomorrow. Specifically used to refer to the next work day, or school day, it could mean Monday, if

- Pineapple-sausage mobile

- Prossibly

indeed has a good chance of happening, but still will likely not happen.
- Stuff
- 1. n. A nonspecific term for objects, items, or substance that is divided into arbitrary parts, each one
meaningless without the whole. e.g. one's wardrobe (collection of clothes) is stuff. A single sock is useless on
its own.
- Stupinate
- 1. v. To be stupid, but in a smart way. Similar to satyr, but more encompassing, and sillier.
- Things
- A nondescriptive term for an object, item or substance that cannot be divided into arbitrary parts while
retaining its identity and, even when grouped among other like things, does not lose its individual identity.
In addition, it certainly stands out against similar "stuff."
- Ossamer
- 1. n. a quality of containing awesomeness (ossam)
- 2. n. the quality of being more awesome than something else.
- Too Awesome
- 1. a. the term used to describe something that is so cool it must NOT be done. At ANY cost. This is why
you can't play videogames after you get your work done at school (the key is, after you finish
your work. But the time spent in school is MUCH better utilized reading Nancy Drew or R. L. Stine, instead of
playing Final Fantasy). Or why it's illegal to drive a McLaren F1 on the streets here in the US. Something
about clearance or the center-drive. Or a good number of other things that already have a line drawn between
acceptable and wrong, but the line is drawn much closer to "boring" because people are afraid things might be
"Too Awesome."
- Unobtainium
- 1. n. A material which comprises things that are exceedingly hard or impossible to get. The aforementioned
McLaren F1 might as well be made of unobtainium given how much it costs.
