spokesweasel n. If you really need to see the sorry state of journalism these days, look no farther than today’s White House press gaggle, where spokesweasel Scott McClellan flat out lies in the face of the reporters, and they just sit there and take it. [ ] [full cite] (Oct. 24, 2005)
spook by the door n.

stinkpotter n. Powerboat owners are habitually dismissive of sailors as preppy, penurious or just plain nerds, referring to them as “blow-boaters” or “snailboaters.” Sailors fire back with “stinkpotters,” peevishly decrying the noise and exhaust spewed by powerboats, and bewailing the scandalous wakes they leave—in no-wake zones, no less. [ ] [full cite] (Oct. 26, 2008)
swamp ass n. Smells like swamp ass, and knows the penis sizes of every man in every fraternity. [ ] [full cite] (Aug. 4, 2006)

sweet in the pants adj. “Why would that matter if Elder was “sweet in the pants’?” “Well it wouldn’t actually matter.

Taig n. In Northern Ireland during the 1980s the paramilitaries engaged in tit-for-tat shootings, these days the guns are largely silent but these self-imposed community representatives are engaged in tit-for-tat culture-making, and culture is all the worse for it. “The taigs get a couple of grand for basket-weaving in Irish? We want cash for women’s mural-painting in Ulster Scots.” [ ] [full cite] (May. 4, 2004)
Taig n. They love to mock each other with grim, hate-ridden slogans like “Don’t be vague, kill a Taig (Catholic).” [ ] [full cite] (May. 6, 2004)
