		<description>RE:  &quot;aniston&quot; as an addition to the dictionary:    Leave her alone, already.    You deal with having your husband leave you for another woman - period.    Then try and deal with it when it&#039;s splashed all over the press, day in and day out, for years afterward, and we&#039;ll see just how able you are to let it go.</description>

		<description>hannah montanna- 1. the ability to include the least number of words in a song and still make it sound pointless and ADD. 2. to make listening to music ( country pop) about as uncomfortable as possible. 3. to ryme a state with a name and make everyone regret it.

now remember this is just an opinion so don&#039;t take it personally.

p.s my spelling probably sucks.</description>

		<description>How about this one that seems to have been overlooked.
Rae (noun) 1. The vain hope that, having once proven themselves inept at fiscal responsibility at one level, people will forgive, forget, or (preferably) both when asking for their blessing to do it all over again, only to a whole country. (My unemployed brother-in-law felt quite rae when he applied for the car loan, but the loan officer knew he was a deadbeat.)
2. (verb) To strive for high public office after having demonstrated an unfortunate lack of economic understanding at the provincial level; then suddenly making an about turn and deferring to a rival who apparently knows even less about economics at any level.

And this one:

Feschuk (verb) To use thoughtful humour and clever irony to show up people for what they are.
(Boy, did he feschuk the Prime Minister, or what?)</description>

		<description>The truly funny thing about Canadian Anti-americanism is that, since it requires so little thought, it is in essence no different than the bigotry of the uneducated in the southern U.S.  Y&#039;know, those that don&#039;t like stuff because it&#039;s not them.

So, here are these navel-gazing, self-assured Canadians, feeling superior for no other reason that they have adopted a very familiar chauvinistic bigotry.  This is not to let the American Government off the hook for engaging in adventurous homicidal rampages for the benefit of various industries they&#039;re in bed with.  You want to fight terrorists, you blind idiots, attack Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.  Is that some kind of revelation to you?</description>

		<description>Dear Scott,

I feel compelled to inform you that many of these words were already defined by yours truly.  For Example:

Obama  (vb.) - To disarm one&#039;s enemies by implicitly breaking the taboos that gave them their power.

Dion (adj.) - inexplicably awesome despite the circumstances.

Greenspan (vb.) - Scott, you say that to Palin is to do what has already been defined as to Greenspan, i.e. &quot;to speak words generally accepted to be part of the English language, but to make no sense while doing so.&quot;

and,

Harper (n.) - A psychological condition that renders one incapable of accepting personal responsibility for anything, while having the paradoxical trait of believing that nothing is done right unless it is done by oneself.

Thanks Scott, your others are spot on.

~K</description>

		<description>As much as I enjoy defying conventional wisdom, and as much as my grandma enjoys all the entries making fun of me, I&#039;m going to declare MJ Patchouli the winner for both breast- and hilarity-based reasons.

MJ: send me at email at sfeschuk@sympatico.ca and I&#039;ll dispatch your prize via the spellbinding power of &quot;the internets.&quot;

Sincere thanks to all who entered -- several definitions are disarmingly better than the ones I produced.

The best of the Christmas season to everyone!</description>

		<description>duffy (noun).  A culinary specialty of PEI.  The stomach of a sheep is first extracted and blown up with hot air, then left to moulder for half a dozen years until it becomes the subject of village ridicule.  It is then heavily coated in lard and baked in the Upper Part of the oven until it dissolves in its own bitter juices.</description>

		<description>I support &quot;gomeshi&quot;, &quot;avery&quot; and of course &quot;couillard&quot; as new additions.

Radio2 noun 1. to leave something in much worse shape than it was in before 2. to damage a national treasure for no apparent reason: When that crazy geologist guy took a hammer to Michelangelo&#039;s Pieta he really did a Radio2 on it.

Duffy noun 1. an inconcievable event takes place where money changes hands 2. to sell ones soul for 134,000 per year: Louis Vuitton getting Keith Richards to appear in advertising for their hand bags was certainly a duffy.</description>

		<description>Greg, that&#039;s a bit nasty, that last statement: &quot;Pick on people that actually screwed the world up. All Americans.&quot;

Fact is, you don&#039;t know most Americans. But if you did, you&#039;d see that most Americans are decent people, just like not all Canadians are not self-obsessed grudge-nursers (see Alberta and Quebec).

Oh, also, I understand how American-bashing requires no thought or creativity, so people usually go for it (see Rick Mercer and t he CBC) but taking the easy path betrays a certain amount of ignorance, even in people who are so convinced they are worldly and enlightened.

For the record, I am Canadian. And I don&#039;t have to bash American&#039;s to feel good about being Canadian.</description>

		<description>Coalition:  A group of 3 (or 4) useless idiots, who think they can un-democratically seize control of a country, while another useless idiot is asleep at the switch.  (See Canadian)

Canadian:  A person who is a citizen of a country without a working government (for that last 6 years), although it costs more in taxes than if there was a working gorvernment.  (See American)

American:  Often used as a synomym of Canadian.

MP (Canada):  A person who is paid immense sums of money not to work for 7 months of the year.  For the remaining 5 months, the person actually attempts to work, but is paid during that time to under-achieve.

North American Auto Industry:  A mythical thing which has not existed since the late 1970&#039;s.  None the less, it costs taxpayers a fortune in tax and other credits, and annually, at that.

Scott Feschuck:  A Canadian Ego, larger than William Shathner&#039;s and Simon Cowell&#039;s combined.</description>
