A dictionary/glossary/lexicon as sort of a cosmic, meeting of the minds, collaboration of the likes of Dan Webster, Sam Johnson, Ambrose Bierce, Hunter S. Thompson, Wm. F. Buckley, Grouch Marx, W. C. Fields and many more... even though its editors are obscure unknowns with dreadfully dangerous senses of humor.

Mannclysm

Mannclysm: The very unfortunate Portmanteau of Manny Ramirez and cataclysm. Witness the effect of the most recent MLB scandal affecting the LA Dodger's sterling performance colliding * with the alleged use and/or abuse of substances such as or like Human chorionic gonadotropin by one of their star players. Definition: The cataclysmic and largely unexpected and undesired result on a sport's team's stellar performance in the aftermath of a top team member caught being tainted by performance-enhancing or other substances. References: Manny tests positive, is suspended 50 games, Hours after Manny news, Dodgers blow big lead, Dodgers tie MLB record with 12-0 home start and Manny Takes an Asterisk on Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC.

And, is the title of the Countdown video essay/report prescient or precognitive? Will Manny not just be taking the asterisk, but the fifth? ("As your attorney, I advise you to start drinking heavily.").
