Kneejerk: The guy in sitting front of you in cramped economy class who drops his seat back so violently it almost cripples you for the rest of your vacation. Flukewarm: The one-in-a-thousand chance that when you turn on the faucet in your hotel shower and the water will automatically come out at the perfect temperature. Checkpointlessness: The bored, slightly irritable expression on the faces of the uniformed employees who work in passport control. Dumplincognito: The greasy lump of protein of unknown and dubious origin that is floating in the middle of your soup.
