Goofy Pluto
A weird incongruity. Derived from the fact that Goofy and Pluto are both dogs in the world of Disney characters, yet Goofy walks on two legs and talks, while Pluto barks, walks on all fours and is otherwise a non-anthropomorphized dog. Usage as explained by Tina Fey on NBC.com's "Ask Tina" video clip.
First guy: That new girl in accounting is so hot. But what's up with those big floppy clown shoes she's always wearing?
Second guy: Right? That's a Goofy Pluto, alright.

Deploy the Slide
Over-reacting to workplace stress and quitting in a dramatic fashion. Named for the Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater who, after an altercation with an especially rude passenger in August 2010, cursed out the passenger, grabbed two beers and exited the plane parked on the runway via the emergency inflatable slide.
Did you hear about Mikey? He got so fed up at work today, he dropped trou and told his boss to kiss his ass! What a way to deploy the slide.

Finishup
Joe, how's your new startup business coming?
We couldn't get any VCs to back the idea in the end, so we've turned it into a finishup, and I'm looking for a job.

One-and-a-half Date
Not quite a double date, but not exactly a date either. It's when you invite someone out on a date, and they pull a defensive maneuver and bring a friend along, as a date shield.
Dude, I asked out that hot chick Sally on a date Saturday to cool party. She said yes, because she knew it was a cool scene, but she turned it into a one-and-a-half date, bringing along her BFF Tina to cock block.

Untrepreneur
An unemployed person passing themselves off as an entrepreneur. And/or an under-achieving entrepreneur.
Joe: So Bob, what are you up to these days.
Bob: Um...I'm trying to get my own business going. I'm an entrepreneur.
Bob's Wife: An untrepreneur is more like it!

Insultant
A consultant with a brash style for "telling it like it is," even at the risk of implying that his clients are idiots.
Consultant: So, in conclusion, my research definitively demonstrates there is zero market demand for your silly product idea.
Boss to underling: Where the hell did you find this guy? He's more of an insultant than a consultant.
