rubberlip

(verb) To accidentally mangle the pronunciation of a word due to lingual clumsiness. This happens when you stumble over a word you can usually pronounce, or when you find a specific combination of sounds you simply cannot make yourself pronounce.

Person A: Hey, what are you doing Febury 15th?
Person B: Did you just say "Febury"? Man, you rubberlipped that.

For some reason, every time I try to say "procussion" I rubberlip it into "pocrussion" instead.

petarded

A portmanteauof "retarded" and "petard," it describes a plan backfiring on you in such a way that you are left looking utterly ridiculous. It combines the concept of retarded--which is to say mentally deficient--and the phrase "hoisted by your own petard," which means to have damage done to you by the means you had intended to employ to damage others. A petard is an explosive used to break down barricades in warfare, and so petarded can also mean "blown up," in some circumstances.

You ratted Dan out for stealing that camera, but in doing so proved that you were his accomplice? Dude, you're petarded.

Jim just petarded the front door trying to take out his ex, but the door blew up and a shard of it went through his windshield. Totally petarded.

twink

In tabletop or online RP settings, a twink (often also referred to as a munchkin in tabletop settings) is someone who has min-maxed their character to emphasize a single set of game stats rather than creating a well-rounded character. While these characters are most often geared toward combat, there are a variety of twinks, often differentiated by an accompanying title, such as combat twink, TS twink/cybersex twink, social twink, gear twink, or others.

This seems the most likely origin for the MMORPG version of the term, since tabletop and online RPGs were the precursors to games like World of Warcraft, and the definitions share similarities.

So he put all of his points into Strength and Constitution, and put his lowest into Wisdom and Charisma, huh? Sounds like he's rolling up another combat twink.

Dena is such a total TS twink. I swear, her stats are always geared toward making her character attractive so she can cyber other players.

Damn it, there are too many social twinks on this game. The second I think I'm going to have some interesting interaction with someone, they start rolling to forcibly manipulate my character.

pleaseme

A cliche phrase or saying that is rarely ever used in conversational English, but appears in bad prose, film, and television. Originated with the phrase, "I want to please you," usually said in terrible b-movies by a female attempting to engage a male in sex. The term is usually used in the pejorative, to mock or insult someone's speech or writing.

"You're all wet."
"Man, that is such a pleaseme."

"I could buy and sell you!"
"Could you try using an insult that wasn't such a pleaseme?"

"Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?"
"I guess, but that was a total pleaseme."

first basing

The verb form of first base (which means French kissing or making out), "first basing" someone is kissing them passionately or making out with them. Used to great effect by Strong Sad of Homestar Runner fame when speaking to his brother Strong Bad, spied kissing a piece of paper.

Uh, Strong Bad, were you just first basing it with that piece of loose leaf?

I went to go ask my brother a question and caught him totally first basing his study buddy.

I was so drunk last week that I ended up first basing my friend's girl.

Iretalian

The combination of "Irish" and "Italian," generally referring to the very common American descendants of Irish and Italian immigrants. For some strange reason, the two tend to be drawn together.

Johnny took six shots and then made out with Kirsten? Damn, those Iretalians don't play!

mickey wop

Noun, singular. A racial slur for "Irish-Italian American," or Iretalian. Combines the slurs "mick," meaning someone of Irish descent, and wop, or Italian-American (wop being an acronym for "Without Papers," used to describe Italian immigrants who showed up at Ellis Island with no paper identification). The slur can be sung to the Mickey Mouse Club theme with little difficulty.

M-I-C, K-E-Y, W-O-P! Mickey Wop, Mickey Wop...

Your name is Angelo O'Malley? Man, your parents should have just named you Mickey Wop.

Tommy Mangialardi drinks like a fish, swears like a sailor, fights like a Tasmanian Devil, flirts like Casanova, and cooks like the Galloping Gourmet. He's the ultimate Mickey Wop.
