    Antediluvian: Before the flood that Noah rode out on the ark. If you disbelieve the story of Noah, then sometime in the distant past before some sort of flood came through the area where the archeological dig is now.

    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Stegosaurus: A four legged cross between a lizard and a comb with toothpicks on the tail. Fortunately this behemoth was a vegetarian

    Middlebrow aesthetics, progressive rock, pretensious preference for "foreign films," Paul McCartney and Wings, claims Downton Abbey is Art, the Nobel committe's bias against White American Male authors, pretensious dismissal of artistic Television, judgment of people harming no one, Post-Grunge, Joel Schumacher films, Sandra Bullock, Steven Soderbergh's Solaris, and Bono in Rattle and Hum

    Privileged young people, often from California, who attempt to join violent religious extremist groups for reasons known only to themselves.

    Laughing stock: People who stand on their own convictions rather than follow the existing norm. Sometimes this changes so fast you can be both a laughing stock and an accepted authority worthy of praise in the hours of a single day.

    Anhedonic: One so miserable that they can take pleasure in nothing, whose knickers are in a permanent twist.
