Paltrowism

1. A verbal usage coined by or reminiscent of Gwyneth Paltrow. A Paltrowism is an elitist expression uttered with vacant ignorance of what 99% of the world knows by hard experience. Can generally be preceded by the noun "Gwyneth..." as subject of the sentence.

2. An ideology indulged in by Gwyneth, based on the inpenetrable perfection of Gwyneth and her knowledge that the world needs Gwyneth's deep level of enlightenment.

3. Bathos disguised as erudition.

"Conscious uncoupling" is a Paltrowism.

According to Paltrowism, single women working in an office for minimum wage have a much easier life than a hundred-millionaire actress who is financially secure enough to devote all her time to her children, except that she wants more than to be "just" a mother.

"Gwyneth, however, believes differently," is a Paltrowism when uttered by Gwyneth.

fajita

Pronounced "fah HEE tah", it literally means "little bundle" in Spanish.

In southern Arizona, the word meant only "skirt steak" (near the rump on cattle) until around 1980.

The invasive use of the word (to mean "taquito") by mass marketing of pseudo-Mex cuisine by Taco Bell and California-Mex and Tex-Mex chain restaurants such as Chipotle has pretty much obscured the original local meaning except when making purchases at the butcher.

We bought two pounds of fajita at the butcher and chopped it up to make carne machaca.

grubbo

A somewhat slighting reference to a person who has done something unpleasing. Meaning can range from "imp" almost to "jerk". Almost always humorous in one respect or another.

That grubbo took the seat I was saving for you.

He's not a grubbo, he's a true jerk!

You're such a grubbo, honey, when you take the last piece of cake just to do it.
