As you know, I periodically post about new buzzwords that I hear from my hip friends in NYC. Here are some of the latest:

helicopter girl/boyfriend
(n.) A significant other who finds it necessary to hover around his or her mate at all times. ("I'd love to come to girls' night, but my helicopter probably won't let me out of his sight.")

blamestorming
(n.) A meeting whose sole purpose is to discuss why a deadline was missed or a project failed and who was responsible.

teenile
(adj.) Used to describe someone who is way too old for what he or she is wearing; see also senile. ("That 45-year-old woman in those low-cut jeans? Is she crazy or just teenile?")

mouse potato
(n.) The wired generation's answer to the couch potato.

karat dangler
(n.) A woman who finds it of utmost importance to flaunt her engagement/wedding ring at all times. ("Who does that karat dangler think she's impressing? Like I've never seen a rock before.")

resigoo:
(n.) The residual stuff stuck to you after a bikini wax.
