correctify

A portmanteau of correct and rectify.

To correctify something means to obsessively nitpick over details which in the pointy-headed purist's mind are so torturously annoying that he can't help but speak up about it. The significance of such details, however, is pure truthiness.

A behavior commonly associated with period nazis in the SCA and other medieval-recreation societies and LARPs.

Madus as they are used in the Amtgard LARP are hardly recognizable as "actual" madus, yet you'll often see players correctifying each other about what "real" madus should look like.

demablogger

A portmanteau of demagogue and blogger, it is a person who uses a blog as a soapbox from which to preach to the unwashed masses and the rest of the world.

Compare to pedablogger, who uses their blog to educate rather than to orate.

Pete with his 'rant of the day' is one of the most entertaining demabloggers I know.

Fourth World

Those ethnic groups which reside in the jurisdiction of recognized nations rather than having an independent state of their own. Fourth-world peoples are excluded from positions of power in those governments, and frequently have de facto if not de jure status as second-class citizens or worse.

The Palestinians, Kurds, and Roma are all examples of members of the Fourth World.

crudware

A computer application so ineptly designed that you decide you don't really need what it does, *that* badly.

I could really use a mail program, but I'm not desperate enough to get mail to want to use that piece of crudware called Microsoft Outlook.

middlicious

(adj.) Combination of the words "middle" and "delicious": food which is neither extraordinarily tasty nor truly awful, but simply common, average, or adequate-quality cuisine. Often filling and good enough to eat if you're hungry, but you'd pass it up for *real* food.

Most store-bought pizza isn't superb, just middlicious. Believe me, I've had worse delivered.
