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.

Emo grunt

The voiced, gutteral grunt made by someone (typically a preteen child) used to express indignation, or frustration.

Whenever Christie's 11-year-old daughter doesn't get her way, she immediately emo grunts and stomps her foot, as though that's gonna change Christie's decision one bit. Well, sometimes it does.

extended loan

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.

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.
