Adamant

When someone uses the word adamant in a sentence to try sound precise and determined, lower the tone and throw their momentum right off by directing the conversation to 80's legend Adam Ant, of Adam and the Ants.

They: '...so I told her I was adamant that...'
You: 'Hold-up! YOU were Adam Ant, 1980's pop star & all 'round Goodfella?'
They: 'Eh, er, um, wha...?!?'
You: 'You know, Adam Ant. War paint on face? Answers to 'Highwayman'? Swings from chandeliers?'
They: "No, I was just sayin'…'
You: 'Are you… Adamant about THAT? just sayin''
They: '....'

brown shoe

substitute for bless you, used only after the first sneeze.

since the ears take a few seconds to adjust after the pressure change, everyone will hear bless you instead. people nearby won't expect to hear it, but won't say anything if they do.

if the person sleezes a second time, revert to bless you and anyone who thought they heard brown shoe will think they're losing it... ;)~

they: ahhhhhh-chooo!
you: brown shoe
they: thank you
other: (thinks they heard brown shoe, but not sure enough to say anything)

Windows FP

Windows FP (aka: Windows Fisher Price), is the successor to Windows 2000.

Also known as 'Windows XP'. This was the last stand of a dying corporation to save itself, from itself. The interface was designed by the team who delivered the Apple Macintosh almost twenty years earlier, but is neither as stable, nor as easy to use.

Windows FP was seen by many as an attempt to make the Windows OS more Mac-like. However, with a GUI incapable of smooth transitions, the results appear more like melted-candy corn than the inimitable Mac OS X that it tries so hard to be.

Visual cues apparently have been taken from the local kindergarden. Everything is either big, lurid, or unnecessary (sometimes all three). Plagued with problems throughout, it's party-piece was it's ability to crash all by itself.

Me: "Dude, is that your lil' bro's toy you rollin'?"
You: "No dude, it's my new Windows FP"

Anglicise

To make British, something which isn't generally considered to be so by those pesky Brits.

Curiously, some auto-correct systems replace Anglicise with anglicize.

Your wheels are turning!

Somehow or another someone's being annoying with a car. It really doesn't matter why, because deep down they are so in love with their box on wheels that you can employ their ego to assert their downfall.

It can be rather satisfying to enjoy this as a driver, however it can be significantly more satisfying as a passenger. For best results, look terrified!

They: driving/acting like a chump
You: shout 'Your wheels are turning!', whilst pointing at one of their wheels
They: panic & pull over
You: 'Heh heh heh...' FTW'
Your driver/passenger(s): 'you rock'!
