abcoolen v. But how to explain the Denglish verbs? Smalltalken, brunchen, mailen, floppen, managen, abcoolen and many others? These are not used to save syllables or avoid complexity. They are simply in vogue, whether for better or worse. [ ] [full cite] (Dec. 21, 2004)
arbiter n. When I insist to the restaurant part-time waitresses, or “arbiters,” a Korean term borrowed from German, that I want nothing less than the very hottest variety of tak-galbi, they give me a look of disbelief. [ ] [full cite] (Aug. 21, 2005)

cherry-ghost n. The great fruit brandies such as kirsch are fiery spirits of the fruit.…A lesser kind is made without the pits; the cherries are merely soaked with alcohol for some time.

Computerfuzzi n. A ber nicht, dass Sie jetzt glauben, ich sei ein weltfremder Computerfuzzi.…Ich gehe gerne schwimmen und Rad fahren, ich lese gerne; ich habe auch Freunde, die nicht mal wissen, wo man einen Computer anschaltet. [ ] [full cite] (Nov. 27, 2005)
Computerfuzzy n. Ein nerd ist die amerikanische (Slang) Bezeichnung für so einen Hardcore Computerfuzzy wie man ihn sich vorstellt. Ungewaschen, dicke Brille, schwarze T-Shirts die nur noch als Shirt-Fragmente zu bezeichnen wären, Pizzareste, Colatrinker, Pickel und so weiter und so weiter. [ ] [full cite] (Feb. 17, 2005)
Computerfuzzy n. Zuletzt noch einige Worte über mich selbst—ich bin ein Computerfuzzy auf Urlaub, der gern neue Leute trifft und dessen Segelerfahrung sich bisher auf ein wenig Windsurfen beschränkt hat. [ ] [full cite] (Feb. 17, 2005)
