frigophilia

The urge to revisit a refrigerator every twenty seconds in the hope that something more appetising will somehow have materialised there in the meantime.

moonspin

Something utterly ridiculous, ludicrous and otherwise beyond the pale, thought up either by someone blotto out of their mind trying to make their way home on a moonlit night, or someone impersonating them.

She's trying to give me the same old moonspin about how she couldn't help it, the bottle of Jack Daniels just jumped on her.

More of this moonspin about Creationism and that on the telly.

skin job

Derogatory term for replicant or android used in the 1982 Ridley Scott movie "Blade Runner", starring Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer, based on the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", by Philip K. Dick. Think of all the mean-spirited epithets humans have ever flung at each other all rolled into one.

You've still got to waste four more skin jobs, Deckard.
