crapola (n. slang) An irrelevant or untrue statement. Nonsense.

etymology: crap + -ola, suffix forming jocular variants of words.

e.g.: "That review of Deus Ex is just full of crapola."

babark: A phrase I enjoy using (but rarely get cause to) is "callipygian pulchritude".

Callipygian:
adjective
rare
adjective: callipygian; adjective: callipygean
having well-shaped buttocks

Pulchritude:
noun
literary
noun: pulchritude
beauty.

So remember when you're about your daily tasks to take a moment and stop to appreciate any callipygian pulchritude you may come across.
Along similar lines, I might also add --

bathykolpian (adj.): Having deep cleavage or large breasts.
