Ass-vertising
Advertising on bikini underwear. Worn and flashed by female models on the street, the butt-borne billboards are designed to attract young male consumers. No doubt they do.
Agit-Doc
One-sided documentaries - like Fahrenheit 9/11 and Outfoxed - that favor an agenda over journalistic objectivity.
Joe Jihadi
US military shorthand for a Muslim terrorist or insurgent. As Marine Lieutenant Colonel Brennan Byrne told CBS News during a battle: "The prospect of some city father walking in and making Joe Jihadi give himself up are pretty slim."
Inverse Graffiti
The use of stencils and cleaning solvent to "tag" a really dirty wall.
