"Anadew" is an acronym for (the exact expansion varies) "A natlang also
does (it) even worse", and means that it's hard to invent a feature so
perverse that some natlang has not already made use of it.
The term was invented on this list.

ObConlang is used to mark a conlang-related paragraph in an otherwise
off-topic post.  "Ob-" stands for "obligatory".  This construction is
used on many mailing lists and newsgroups.
