n., combination form of spam + blog: 1) blogging solely for profit v. personal expression, communication, information (et al) purposes; 2) a blog which exists to pimp products, services, websites, etc. via extensive use of ads and/or links.
A good friend of mine used to have a slamming blog, but she's become just another sell-out, now that it's nothing more than a splog. I doubt she'll ever get rich using all those pay-per-click ads plastered everywhere on it.

Get the Splog mug.adj. term indicative of one who habitually consumes mind-altering substances such as pot, LSD, PCP, cocaine, etc.
Man- Randy smoked a half ounce of chronic, dropped 2 tabs of Purple Jesus, burned 3 parsley specials, and snorted an 85% pure eightball all in one night. Dude is totally trippin'- and he parties like this all the time! Hell, he's such a frequent flyer that he doesn't know when to leave the damned airport!!!

Get the frequent flyer mug.(n.) The defacto gold star standard for delivering products and/or services within a projected timeframe. Derived from the original Star Trek series wherein Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott consistently made the seemingly impossible happen just in time to save the crew of the Enterprise from disaster.
The premise is simple:
1) Caluculate average required time for completion of given task.
2) Depending on importance of task, add 25-50% additional time to original estimate.
3) Report and commit to inflated time estimate with superiors, clients, etc.
4) Under optimal conditions the task is completed closer to the original time estimate vs. the inflated delivery time expected by those waiting.

The following situation is a simulation of the Scotty Principle in practice.
Kirk: "The ship seems sluggish today. When was the last time you did a tune-up on the warp drive?"
Scotty: "Aye, sir. She's due. Last maintenance was 56 days ago."
Kirk: (light chuckle) "Well, what are you waiting for? An ambush from cloaked Romulans?"
Scotty: "I'll need to check how much dilithium we have in supply, but she'll be better than new in no time."
Kirk: "And that will be...?"
Scotty: "Six hours."
--- four hours later ---
Scotty: "All done, sir. Care to test her out?"
--- Enterprise taken rapidly to warp 3, does a few doughnuts, comes to a smooth stop ---
Kirk: "Scotty, there's no finer engineer in this quadrant!"

Get the Scotty Principle mug.adj.; when used as a suffix for a proper name or specific entity, becomes part of that noun.
Derived from Godzilla, the gargantuan reptilian star of Japanese "B" horror movie genre. Introduced in 1954 as "Gojira", Godzilla is the embodiment of all that is massive, destructive, and extremely difficult to defeat. Ergo, "'zilla" in both the stand-alone adjective and suffix forms represents those same charecteristics. Linguistically, the "z-l" combo has stronger audiological punch than "j-r", thus giving "'zilla" more connotative power than "'jira".

The neighborhood chug-a-lug champ might be referred to as "Beerzilla."
The creator of Micorsoft could easily be dubbed "Gateszilla."
My mother-in-law truly lives up to her nickname, Janezilla.

1. On some sites that use ranking systems like E2, chronic lemurs should be able to be voted into neg status.

Get the neg mug.(adj.) descriptive of an entity or situation where something once small and relatively insignificant grows exponentially at a swift pace, engulfing everything in its path. A more dramatic progression than the classic domino effect. The basic workings of a literal snowball effect can be illustrated by taking one's average baseball-sized snowball and dropping it down the side of a snowy hill. As it descends it gathers more snow and whatever leaves, sticks, etc. are in its way. The snowball accumulates not only size, but speed.
When Mortal Combat was first released, there were numerous instances of fans going to largely populated areas, like college campuses and shopping malls, and yelling "MORTAL COMBAT!!!" at the top of their lungs. Others withing earshot who understood this cry would do the same. Depending on just how many in the know heard and participated, created an amazing, echoing snowball effect.

Get the snowball effect mug.(n.) A fan, avid or otherwise, of at least one Star Trek series or movie. Devotees who totally immerse themselves in this subculture have given this term a somewhat negative stereotype, turning the majority of the fan base into the butt of many lame jokes. More "reality based" Trekkies, hoping to differentiate themselves from the habituous character-emulating, convention-attending crowd, choose to accept the label of "Trekker".
"John has the entire 3 seasons of the original Star Trek on DVD. What a Trekkie!"
"Nah... John's more of a Trekker. At least he doesn't go to half a dozen conventions a year dressed as a Klingon."
