LATEST CATCHWORDS
feature well
If the “feature well” (as it’s known in the business) had merely consisted of Ms. Barnett’s usual pontificating, perhaps this week’s edition could have avoided both insult and injury.

wing suit
Zielinski was wearing what’s called a “wing suit” for the jump, Grimm said. Such a suit when used by sky divers can slow their descent down to about 70 to 80 mph from the more typical speed of more than 100 mph.

pastorpreneur
Defined by their size—usually more than 2000 attendees a week—as well as spectacular music performances and charismatic preachers, these churches regularly provide fodder for critics, with marketing surveys, wealth-creation advice and priests who call themselves “pastorpreneurs.”

coastie
Drawing outside attention to the campus Coastie phenomenon, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel printed Megan Twohey’s article, The Great ‘Coastie Divide” in Nov. 2005. Twohey never mentioned that it was once more common on our campus to refer to the Ugg crowd from New York, New Jersey, California and Illinois as JAPs (Jewish American Princesses). Maybe Twohey felt the issue was irrelevant or never considered it. That’s an odd omission. If Coastie is in fact another way of saying JAP, the “Coastie Divide” hints at more than a difference in style.

black spider memo
The notes, mostly hand-written, are known to recipients as the “black spider” memos in which Charles enthusiastically details his beliefs on particular political topics, using lots of underlining and exclamation marks.

Fox lips
The new blond is lips, specifically what people inside the industry call “Fox lips,” and they are worn by Fox’s Laurie Dhue, Fox’s Gretchen Carlson, and MSNBC’s Rita Cosby, three top blondes. Achieved in the makeup room in a procedure that sounds one step this side of cosmetic surgery, I’m told that powder, pencil, and paint can turn even the weakest mouth into a juicy vagina dentata.

twizzle
“Ironically, that’s the element these two are know for being amazing at,” interjected Susie Cluett of a reputation for close proximity, unison and quality through the two required ‘twizzle’ (side by side moving spins) sections.
