Green Tunnel

Another term for the Appalachian Trail: the 2200 mile hiking path from Georgia to Maine. It is called the green tunnel because much of it lies in the low altitude deciduous forests of the east coast and the constant view looking down the trail is like looking through a "green tunnel."

After 6 months in the green tunnel, it was good to get back to civilization.

Prig

One who demonstrates smugness at conforming to conservative ideals. Often deriding elements of modernity and change simply because it is outside of the absolutist parameters by which the prig views his surroundings. The prig elevates the artificial constructs of established rules to the point where deviation from these fabrications will be judged as "good" or "bad." Even on superficial matters.

A prig will be the guy in your neighborhood who tries to change town ordinances to prevent his neighbors from building a modern house on the same street as his precious center-hall colonial. Because in his mind, modern design is "bad", and traditional cookie-cutter homes are "good" by virtue of their normality.

Conjob

The conservative slight-of-hand when defending outsourcing jobs by saying that it is not the role of private enterprise to solve the nations unemployment problem but rather to make profits for their shareholders. And then when discussing taxes, contradicting themselves by asserting that it is not the role of government to create jobs but for the private sector. Which is why they need massive tax breaks.

Paying lower taxes so they can destroy American industry is the greatest Conjob in recent history.
