unicquaintance

A person known to the speaker, but who does not know the speaker.
A manufactured word using the prefix "uni" and "acquaintance" to describe a phenomenon previously unlabeled by a single word.

I've heard plenty about Carol in accounting, but I'm sure she has no idea who I am. I consider her a unicquaintance.

retarded tinglies

The feeling one gets when embarassed for someone else. Often accompanied by a physical sensation.

This totally lame dude at the next restaurant booth was talking so loudly about how well he expected his date to go. I was getting the retarded tinglies.

sightjogging

Touring a city or town by running, often as part of normal exercise, but sometimes as a deliberate manner of seeing a place quickly.

It's my first time in Paris, but I only have a couple days there, so I'm planning to go sightjogging at least once to see more of the town.

I'm sure they'll continue World Youth Day

1. An expression of support for an effort, organization or person. Often comes after a list of achievements.

2. A paraphrase of Patrick Baron's hopes for Pope Benedict XVI upon the naming of the pontiff on April 20, 2005.

"Radiohead is totally turning the tables on the music industry. They're letting people set their own price for the new album, even giving it away for free. And I'm sure they'll continue World Youth Day!"

“It means that he’ll continue the great work of Pope John Paul! I’m sure he’ll continue World Youth Day! And … he’s just an awesome holy man!”
