The Crumby Ovate Suddenly Seized Up

Colloquial - Incapable of doing what yer supposed to do because yer seized up. You could be insufficiently lubricacious, somewhere, and that's why yer seized up. I, personally, seized up for a couple of hours last night relative to one thing I was supposed to be doing while I was doing another something I was supposed to be doing, so I was stove up on multi-tasking; and briefly, twice today, I was stove up due to astonishment.

Generally, yer pinched up because someone or something is irritating you, beyond yer endurance for irritation, and you can't do anything about it. Cramps are a good example of how you get pinched up, but by no means the only example.

Then there's stove up, which as you should recall, needs no further explanation.

How about hopped up. Could be you don't spoil easily, if yer hopped up, or it could mean something else, entirely.

In Myers-Briggs, feel-good corporate lingo if you see the words "opportunities" and "elswhere" close together, you know you have been fired. Generally, the word opportunity, just by itself, is a bad omen. Also, you don't necessarily want to "seize" anything because that means you are going off somewhere else to work.

The word bullshit, on the other hand, is nearly unambiguous.

So, $50 billion for hurricane relief. The names of individuals who recieve this money should be public record. And published in newspapers and run on TV every day until the money's all gone. I mean individuals. Not, for example, Halliburton received x billion, but the individual Halliburton employeess should be required to submit the information, "how much money I got, personally", from the hurricane. Let's have a National Environmental Policy Act that really works.
