I’d probably be dead before I knew it “caught on”. Besides, how would I know for sure that I invented it, and did not just steal it from someone else?

Airwolf as an adjective 3 years ago

I didn’t coin it but I’m propagating it:
Nothing is more Airwolf than Airwolf.

“Bobby Martin joke” – the famous imaginary comedian who tells awful jokes. if someone tells one really bad, it’s a “Bobby Martin” (or B.M. for short) joke. reference: http://tomawesome.blogspot.com/2005/07/bobby-martin-comedian.html

one for the “gross food” category: “ham-o-naise” (it’s pressed ham cubes mixed with mayo) – used as an insulting reference to what someone’s mom put in their lunch sandwich.

the latest is a variation: “salmon-naise” – you get the idea—chopped salmon mixed with mayo. of course in Sweden I think this is a delicacy…

update: more variations on the theme—spam-o-naise and lamb-o-naise. mmmm, mmmm, good!
