NUSCO-tionary - Soft Launch x-D

Testing testing, 1, 2, 3... Ahem.

Greetings to everyone! :) [Yes, that includes you, my minions. You know who you are... x-P] *clears throat* Ahh... In an attempt to shake things up a little bit here -yes the dust gathers quickly in cyberspace >.< - and to render this admirable platform for us to share our love for all things for NUSCO a little less intimidating and formal -what's the inhibition holding you back anw?! heh. - here's a soft launch of the inaugural NUSCO-tionary! :D A brand new lexicon brimming with potential, it shall aspire to record the vernacular history of NUSCO - and it needs some lovin'! x-D This humble amateur lexicographer - that is, yours truly x-D - with her limited grasp of the English language, shall attempt to create entries that are accurate and definitive. どうぞよろしくお願いします! 请多多指教! :))

Lexicographer's note: This is merely a soft launch as yours truly wanted to delay penning the inaugural post till after the exams when I have more time [I suppose it's rather apparent by now that I suffer from a severe case of typing diarrhea =\ ] and will be in a better frame of mind [I've 4 exams/CAs next wk! x_X ] to write a wicked post - I mean, it's the FIRST post, so it's gotta be of some standard, no?? - but that's about a month from now...!! By then, the initial enthusiasm may have fizzled out...... So please make do with this for now, and hopefully it'll provide some respite in your intensive mugging regime! :)

And now... *drumroll* -.-""""""""" it's showtime! Presenting the inceptive entry:

KAHYAN !!!

KAHYAN [kahy-en, key-] /kaɪˈɛn, keɪ-/ :

1) [adjective] apathetic; uncaring, bordering on callous. generally used to describe a self-absorbed female who watches the travails of others with indifference, seemingly oblivious to their struggles.

e.g. "You're not a telekinetic and there's no such thing as 'eye power'. Don't be KAHYAN and help me move this cello!!!"

2) [noun] raven-haired female who is a self-proclaimed beauty; embodies narcissism and loves to pollute photo collections with innumerable self-portrait shots, all with an identical silly smile and pose. Also noted for her unabashed display of miserly ways, and for sniffing her long tresses.

e.g. "You're an absolute KAHYAN - stop preening and change your pose!"

To celebrate the inauguration of this dictionary, and despite the fact that this is just a soft launch, this is an exclusive video definition of KAHYAN:
