Aside from the fact that someone (either the compiler or the marginal initiator) could've used a proofreader, I've now got it bookmarked. Thanks, Father Steve.
Don't nobody tell TVR about this list. They'll go ballistic for weeks.

Hey, I like this guy! Btw, I'm sure this violates some sort of copyright laws, but I won't tell anyone if you won't. And I like a lot of the def.'s, too; too many to list. Did he leave out a word, here, do you think? An elderly sold-out baby boomer who for hippie or pre-sellout days.
Mental Ground Zero: (page 63)
The location where one visualizes oneself during the dropping of the atomic bomb; frequently, a shopping mall. This is a sad, sad commentary on the world we live in.
But hey--I finally have a diagnosis! Metaphasia: (page 164) An inability to perceive metaphor.
Golly--I'd say that about 90% of these have some negative aspect/outlook; and that is really sad.

several, maybe? such as: An elderly sold-out baby boomer who effects a ponytail in nostalgia for hippie or pre-sellout days.

A nice list, but deals with pretty much the same issues as its predecessors like, man, the yuppie neologism list ...
I have heard "McJob" used, so not all of them are apocryphal!
