Matthiasfw's definitions

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.

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.

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.

fair chair

The stamped metal chairs (sometimes padded), usually of a puke-brown or dull gray color, with a seat that folds up that you often encounter en masse at public fairs and other gatherings, outdoor weddings, sit-down concerts, church auditoriums, and so forth. Said chairs are designed to be stackable and often come on large racks. Notorious for getting skin-searingly hot if left exposed in sunlight for any length of time.

I went to a concert this summer and nearly burnt my legs on one of those fair chairs!

desktop graffiti

The annoying tendency of Windows applications to clutter up your desktop, quicklaunch bar, and start menu with multiple shortcuts to their software without bothering to ask permission first, as if you're only too happy to be burdened the convenience of having to click on your mouse one or two fewer times to run the software. Also applies to shortcuts to third-party programs bundled with the installed software, usually unasked-for and often unwanted.

Adobe just auto-updated itself the other day, and boom! more desktop graffiti to delete.
