quantum mechanics

A concept in physics concerning the counter-intuitive motion and mechanics of subatomic particles. Despite not applying to anything larger than an electron, quantum mechanics is often lamely invoked by pseudoscientists to justify whatever ridiculous phenomenon they are proposing.

greenpeace

The left-wing equivalent of the Daily Mail. Despite their occasionally making a valid point, you have to wade through a mountain of bullshit, scientific illiteracy, alarmism, and extremist lies to find it.
"Despite the fact that nuclear power allows France to have the cleanest air in the world, we at Greenpeace are against it anyway beacuse... well isn't it to do with bombs or missiles or something?"

Jingly Keys

1. A pleasing visual and acoustic distraction.
2. Therefore, metaphorically, an answer that tries to draw attention away from a difficult probing question, as if jingling some keys, especially when employed by a simple person who assumes that the questioner will be easily distracted.
1. I love the sound of jingly keys.
2. "You said last month that all Muslims should be banned from the US? Then you said you thought a Muslim was one of our finest citizens. Now you're saying the ban was a good idea again. Is this entirely consistent?"

"This is typical of people who hate America. We need strong leadership, Obama should resign."
"Nice try with the jingly keys sir, but I'd like an answer."

rape

Appalling crime of forced sexual violence against another person. Except when it happens to a man in prison, in which case, in Western culture, it is apparently highly amusing.

diamond

n. Relatively common mineral, consisting of carbon, which is similar in appearance to zircon or cut glass. Used by the South African based De Beers company as a form of emotional blackmail through clever, original, and socially planted marketing techniques. It is asserted by the De Beers company that a man who is unwilling to waste a huge amount of money for a worthless piece of carbon must not really love his future wife very much.
(See also organic food.)

sustainable

adj. Concerned with trendy, liberal, or faddish causes, especially alarmist environmentalism and anti-capitalism. An activity or product is described as sustainable if it promotes a hippy agenda, regardless of whether the activity in question has any particular ability to be sustained over a long time period or not.
Fair trade coffee is a sustainable brand.
