Saw this 'word' used in a Doonesbury sunday comic panel about a month ago

Examples (Don't have the strip in front of me)

My genius daughter can be such an airhead
My Rolls Royce car seems to need repairs so often compared to my Lamborghini
I just don't know what to do with all my (***)
My overstocked (***) is such a mess
I've lost so much weight that now my sister is jealous of me
etc etc

The word kind of amused me - it seems so descriptive for comments like those!

Can you add to the list?

How about: I'm so lonely. It's hard talking with people who don't have my IQ.
