“Globohomo” is such a great coinage, although far too offensive for mixed company.

Too bad Anthony Burgess is not still alive. If you read A Clockwork Orange (the book is much better than the movie, especially with the 21st chapter that really changes the entire meaning of the story), you come away with an entire vocabulary of slang spoken by no one else on earth -- except for the handful of people who actually read the book. I'm sure Burgess could coin some memorable and apropos terms to describe the insanity in our culture today!
