conservonics
From conservative + ebonics, this term is used on various Internet fora to describe a perceived conservative tendency to call things the exact opposite of what they are.

Condo Canyon
A neighborhood made up mostly or entirely of high-rise residential buildings, so called because the buildings along both sides of a major street resemble the walls of a canyon.
The West End used to be single-family houses; now, with all of the development, it's turned into Condo Canyon.

Why do you hate America so much?
A rhetorical question, asked in an ironic sense, derived from a supposed conservative tendency to view disagreement as unpatriotic. It is chiefly used in two situations: when a non-conservative points out something damning to the orthodoxy, and when a conservative says soemthing that reveals hypocrisy.
"So, then, gay marriage will destroy society, but Abu Ghraib was perfectly okay?" "Why do you hate America so much?"
"I'm all for free enterprise, but when companies start offering domestic-partner benefits, free enterprise has gone too far." "Why do you hate America so much?"
"I'm all for free enterprise, but when companies start offering domestic-partner benefits, free enterprise has gone too far." "Why do you hate America so much?"

BANANA
Stands for "Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone." A derogatory term for people who are perceived as taking NIMBY to ridiculous extremes.
Good luck on ever seeing that new shopping center get built. The locals aren't just NIMBY; they're BANANA.
