Teabonics n. pl.
Derisive term for misspelled and ungrammatical Tea Party protest signs. Spotting instances of Teabonics (e.g., Make English America’s offical language) has become a popular sport on Flickr and in the blogosphere.

A sudden swing in stock prices caused by electronic trading errors. The term was coined in the wake of the trillion-dollar drop in the US stock market on May 6. Since then, stock exchange hiccups from India to Japan have been diagnosed as flash crashes.
Naked government n.
Full disclosure of government expenditures in China. The term was coined by Chinese netizens when a small Szechuan township posted its entire budget—from salaries to entertainment—on the Internet. Outside Communist Party officials now steer clear of the township for fear of having “gifts” and expensive meals made public.
