partoolism (par-tool-izm) n.

Belief system which eschews marking the body needlessly, holds the lyrics of the band "Tool" to be sacred text and pays homage to a questionable deity of even more questionable divinity.

Partoolists are a relatively small group within the Goth sub-culture who neither pierce themselves nor get tattoos. Generally accepted in the greater Goth community because of their extensive knowledge of the band "Tool" and their staunch belief that God is a line-order cook in Nashville named "Chucky", who started the Church of the Sub-Genius (a.k.a., Church of the Immaculate Deception or Church of Chuck).

Darn it, NightShadow, you managed to use "eschew" in your definition. You're sure to win, now. Rats. ~bows his head in shame~

Don't be so sure. Not ALL of us are impressed with words like "eschew". And there is still the opportunity for others to submit some definitions- like my favorite quote says, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

You might surprise yourself and the rest of us in the bargain.

"eschew"

Gesundheit.

Danke schoen.

Or something.

Any more definitions or shall I declare a winner? You have until I arbitrarily decide to decide.

Looks like everyone else is tapped out, Colin.

So who's the weiner?

Well, NightShadow, you almost had me with your tiny goth religion, but somehow Eric's imagery was just too beautiful to pass over.

Eric, you are the weiner... I mean winner.

Honorable mention to EtherMuse for actually googling partool.

He took the fall for the man upstairs
Did his duty 'cause no one cares
Made the people try to think
About the price of a priceless sink.

He's Ollie, Ollie,
Ollie, by golly....

Yeah, da punk with da spunk
He told Congress junk
In order to be in the land of the free
In a jail, and he's male and we're gonna WAIL:

Ollie, Ollie
Ollie, by golly!

The scene is centered on suited man's back looking from the edge of the balcony out into the snow reflected lamp light of the White House back lawn. He does the zipup motion, picks up tumbler of bourbon from the railing, turns and looks up toward the camera. Its Reagan. He pauses, then does the tap dance and arm presentation (while sloshing but not loosing any bourbon). Da dun dun dun, cha cha cha chaaa! "Pee arto allee zzzmmmm!" The shot pans over his head and down to the snow covered lawn to reveal (with the opening of heaven sound effect "Daahhhhhh") the golden lined face of Ollie in all his shining glory.

Anyway, thanks!

New word: falintoi

falintoi, (fahl-in-toy)

adj. Hebrew slang for "Dwarven illuminati". Named after the descendants of Falin of "The Hobbit" fame, who, upon learning that they would not get a role in the epic series "The Lord of the Rings", took to making bad haiku about the Middle East.

example,

(translated from the Dwarvish)

Unexploded mines
Make us ache for our axes.
Damn it's dusty here.

Falintoi is used as an adjective in much the same way as "uppity", as in

"Where's that falintoi midget, I bet he knows how to partition a hard drive for Windows."

Hard Drive Partioning for Windows

Falintoi: adjective

Misunderstanding vital and relevant religious doccuments.

"Sam's a seriously falintoi Subgenius. He thinks that the Book tells him to smoke TOBACCO!"

Bump!
Three excellent entries.
Can anyone compete?

falintoi (fah-lyn-twah)

The subtle art of making rap music from 'found sounds'. All rhythms, tones, and voices must be recorded without the knowledge of the creators, in a public setting. Sounds cannot be digitized or distorted in any way, only layered in varying levels of volume. Some subgroups of falintoi artists accept that sounds may be speeded up or slowed down. A favorite sampled frequently in falintoi is the rambling of crackheads.

Falintoi sprang up as a genre in the early 90's as a method to bring discipline back into music-making, and reduce the so-called "over-produced" effect of "planned music".

1. Chinese name for the North American art or practice of positioning furniture for the express purpose of disrupting the flow of yin, yang, and chi through a suburban living room. Punishable by death in Sweden.

falintoi (FAL-in-toy)n.

Rather less grandly than my esteemed colleagues would have you believe, 'falintoi' is simply derived from 'phal(lus) in toy', and describes any one of a number of robotic figurines principally linked with Transformers and Star Wars that conceal sex toys such as dildos and vibrators. A particular secret configuration of the 'transformation' yields an outcome other than the construction of a truck or tank... Some buzz.

Punishable how? Co-ed Sauna Vodka drinking contests?
