Fake Word of the Day IX
An occasional series where I take something for which there is no word and invent a word for it.
Kinkesque - sort of kinky but not really, or expressive of the wish to be kinkier than you are.
Juddow - one of the slew of mid-2000s generic, highly formulaic comedy movies starring some combination of Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Jason Siegel, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, usually involving Judd Apatow in some way.
Twinching - following someone around different social networks and adding them to your contact list.
Stockholm Syndrome by Proxy - hearing or reading about a kidnapping and identifying more with the kidnappers than the victim.
Carpool Tunnel Syndrome - The vague suspicion that comes over you, when the carpool lane diverges from the main highway (as it does at the 91W/55S and the 5N/405W junctions in Los Angeles, for instance), that you're not going to end up where you expect.
Dyshit (pronounced DISS-hit, not DIE-shit) - something or someone that's famous for being absolutely awful.
Helsinki Syndrome - Realising that you've been calling something by the wrong name for so long that you might as well just stick to it.
Titanica - The vague feeling that you're going to dislike something just because everyone else likes it so much.
