S2
- Salacity
- n. A certain literary quality frequently observed in popular novels, especially in those written by women and young girls, who give it another name and think that in introducing it they are occupying a neglected field of letters and reaping an overlooked harvest. If they have the misfortune to live long enough they are tormented with a desire to burn their sheaves.
- Salamander
- n. Originally a reptile inhabiting fire; later, an anthropomorphous immortal, but still a pyrophile. Salamanders are now believed to be extinct, the last one of which we have an account having been seen in Carcassonne by the Abbe Belloc, who exorcised it with a bucket of holy water.
- salary
- a poorly disguised manipulation of the word slavery.
- Sandlotter
- n. A vertebrate mammal holding the political views of Denis Kearney, a notorious demagogue of San Francisco, whose audiences gathered in the open spaces (sandlots) of the town. True to the traditions of his species, this leader of the proletariat was finally bought off by his law-and-order enemies, living prosperously silent and dying impenitently rich. But before his treason he imposed upon California a constitution that was a confection of sin in a diction of solecisms. The similarity between the words “sandlotter” and “sansculotte” is problematically significant, but indubitably suggestive.
- sane
- 1. recently fallen out of love.
- 2. characterized by the ability to foresee and understand cause and effect, like jumping off a building leading to death and denying the existence of God leading to happy and restful nights.
- Santa Claus
- the champion of secular tyranny; the Agnostic’s answer to church-based behavioral modification techniques for children; training wheels for Jesus.
- Santa Fe
- a town once populated by the children of the Conquistadors and the Pueblos known for its pure air, night skies, and hostility to gringos—now populated mostly by gringos and known for its queer art and the highest incidence of bubonic plague outside of the slums of Bombay.
- Santana, Carlos
- 1. the name behind an ongoing series of guest appearances meant to constitute an original body of work, somehow.
- 2. an old guy, surrounded by youth, who seems to like to make his guitar go, “weedle weedle,” at the ends of songs for some reason.
- 3. classic rock guitarist known for an overplayed song called “Black Magic Woman.” It isn’t bad. He didn’t write it.
- Santorum, Rick
- a Senator with obsessive-compulsive disorder regarding the proper placement of ejaculate; he is rightly considered an expert on the topic having brought at least seven snarling mouths into the world through liberal application of his own.
