I bleed coffee. When I don't drink coffee, my veins run dry, and I shrivel up and die.

Dopeler effect (n): The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come very quickly. (and might I add while drinking)

 

This could be applied to at least half of our posts here.

One of "my" lecturers at university came up with words from ppls names (writers mostly) while we were discussing some english texts he had chosen for us to paraphrase or translate

greer (verb or noun) (from Germaine Greer): to make youger people feel bad.

dalrymple (verb) (from William Dalrymple): To do whatever you do in a way that makes everyone around to burst in applause or to do just about anything that hasn't got a word of its own
    uses: Have you been dalrympling lately?
          -No, my mother put such a greer on me.

Cheers.

-Beau
