Hey, I love Suck It! Is that Latin? 
Here's a little tangential tidbit for my friends. As a book reviewer, I sometimes feel the need the include borderline vulgar figures of speech – like "suck it" – and in most cases I just can't do it. In early 2004, I used "when the defecation hits the rotating oscillator" in a review for Adam Connell's Counterfeit Kings and the response I got from the author, his publisher, and readers of B&N's Explorations (that's where it appeared) was fantastic! They loved it – and although it wasn't vulgar, it expressed what I wanted perfectly....
So how can we make Suck It less vulgar but still capture the essence of the term and maybe even throw in a little paranormal fantasy humor? Hmmm...... Maybe a little vampire attitude – Bite Me, Suck Off...
Hey, I know! We could informally call this forum the SuccuBus! "Hop on the SuccuBus, Gus!"
Sorry, I've been drinking ALOT of coffee today...

Yeah baby!!!
This is a GREAT thread!!! I can see where this discussion could lead to all kinds of good stuff!!! It will be a literary buffet! 
These have been great!!!
Channeling: The process by which a medium allows a spirit to communicate through his/her person. Not to be confused with Possession, which is involuntary and usually antagonistic.
Psycho Kinetic Energy: Energy residue left embedded into the surroundings after a death or tragic event has occurred, or a spiritual energy trapped by its surroundings or objects.
Zombie: There are two ideas behind the zombie. The first, and the kind we all know and love, is an animated corpse that usually has an appetite for flesh. The second, which gave rise to zombies as we see them, comes from Voodoo (or Voudon as it is properly called). Voudon is usually evil sorcery or dark magik, and there have been many sightings of people that were thought to have been dead that had actually risen at the bidding of a voudon priest/priestess.
