mouse fishing 

It's like that thing, where you accidentally knock your mouse off your desk, and rather than reach down to get it, you just grab the cable and reel it back up, hand over hand.
Tony was too fat and lazy to set his laptop aside, so just grabbed the cable on the back and did some mouse fishing.
A member of The Horde (see also: WoW, World of Warcraft, MMORPG) who accumulates as many items as possible and never shares them, sells them, or uses them. They will cling selfishly to these items until they are no longer useful and expired from game play OR hoard things like cloth that could be used by the guild. This often results in creation of extra characters simply for bank tab space.

Literally, "A Horde Hoarder."
(1) Player A: "Dude! You're not using that item. Sell it to me?"
Player B: "No way, I need it."
Player A: "No you don't, you haven't played the game in six months!! *sigh* Horder."

(2) Player X: "You have one level 85 character and seven level 3's."
Player Y: "FOR THE HOARD!!!11"
1) A disc from Netflix that has been sitting in your home for over a month, meaning it is no longer just a movie but an addition to your household, and must be fed and watered.

2) Movies for your pet.
1) Al: "Hey, these DVDs have like an inch of dust on them. What's the deal?"
Bob: "Oh, I keep meaning to watch those. They've been sitting there six months, so at this point they're Petflix.

2) Cindy: "Oh honey, the dog gets so sad when we leave him here all day while we're at work."
Dan: "It's cool, baby, just put on some Petflix and that'll make him happy until quitting time."
Fanfiction written on Twitter. So named because of the common use of hashtags on Twitter, and the common contraction of Fanfic for fanfiction.
Remember that cancelled show "Studio 60?" Well years later it got new life when some person or persons created a Twitter account for every single character, who then proceeded to live-tweet their fictional jobs. Though not the first example of hashfic, it's certainly among the most elaborate.

Netflix Roulette 

Selecting a movie from your Netflix queue at random, and watching it regardless of the result. This works best with the instant streaming feature on an XBox or PS3, where holding a button can shuffle past titles at a rapid rate, but is also possible on a home computer or even by mail.
A: I can't decide what to watch. Wanna go with Netflix Roulette?

B: Yeah, sure, I guess. Just hold the right trigger and see what it lands on--

A: Oh cool, something called Human Centipede. I wonder what it's about?

B: Let's find out!

strip tase 

1) The act of erotically dancing for someone or someones, perhaps with removal of clothing articles, so as to distract said person or persons before using a taser on them.

2) Typo of "strip tease."

3) Best not to confuse the two.
1) "I was over at Michael's house last night, and I gave him a strip tase...."

2) "OMG is he okay?!

3) "%#@$ iPhone!!"

table general 

The person who directs the movement, placement, and direction of food at the dinner table, particularly at a large meal or gathering. This can be achieved by democracy, but is more typically dictated by strength of character and who has the best spatial relations... or just the most experience with food.
"We were overwhelmed by the amount of food on the table for the 12-person Christmas dinner. Luckily Grandpa was an efficient table general.
