rich from the neck up

Used of someone who is living beyond their means. Their wealth is purely in their head and implicit in their attitude.

She can't afford the rent and just bought herself a state-of-the-art computer system on credit. She's rich from the neck up.

Bounderby

Someone who cynically grandstands about their unpleasant childhood, by way of fishing for pity or giving an apologia for their heartless or anti-social behaviour. Very trendy in a postmodernist climate. From the character in Dickens' "Hard Times".

Look at that kid on the TV saying that he wouldn't have killed the kid on a joyride if his own mummy had loved him a bit more. What a perfect little Bounderby.

Chthulhu

Vast entity seeking to re-enter the stream of terrestrial time-space, as revealed in the visionary works of H. P. Lovecraft. Gibbous, vast, eldritch, gibbering, and infinitely rebulbulous in his extra-terrestrial physics and non-Euclidean geometry. His feelers extend to all the best dinner parties where the unsuspecting taste him in the wine, rip off their clothes and expose the darkest secrets of their splenetic nightmares. The best friend of necrotic occultists everywhere. His friends all call him "Percy". Will sign copies of the Necronomicon for free, with heart-felt dedications ... if you dare look him in his extra-cosmic face.

Chthulhu ... the master of ectopic time.

moonspin

Something utterly ridiculous, ludicrous and otherwise beyond the pale, thought up either by someone blotto out of their mind trying to make their way home on a moonlit night, or someone impersonating them.

She's trying to give me the same old moonspin about how she couldn't help it, the bottle of Jack Daniels just jumped on her.

More of this moonspin about Creationism and that on the telly.

skin job

Derogatory term for replicant or android used in the 1982 Ridley Scott movie "Blade Runner", starring Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer, based on the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", by Philip K. Dick. Think of all the mean-spirited epithets humans have ever flung at each other all rolled into one.

You've still got to waste four more skin jobs, Deckard.

frigophilia

The urge to revisit a refrigerator every twenty seconds in the hope that something more appetising will somehow have materialised there in the meantime.

I'm getting frigophilia. I'm hungry, but not that hungry. Basically I'm bored.
