epic maneuver

An unintended action that can either result in 1. great success or 2. colossal failure. Made popular by YTMND, it's a fad that is pretty much dead. Most epic maneuvers result in failure, and you'll be remembered for such actions.
Examples of an epic maneuver:

1. You're bowling and you throw the ball, but it results in a 7-10 split. On the next ball, through some miracle, you throw it and you manage to knock both pins over.

2. Let's say you're the QB in a football game. After the snap, when you're poised to throw, your fingers lose grip of the ball and it results in a fumble, which is recovered by the opposing team.

brainiac

"Nice Job, brainiac." emphasis must be put on 'brainiac' or else it loses its effectiveness.

3. West Indian slang: to clean out one's body system by means of a laxative, usually in the form of a tea of some sort.
1. Kimi Raikonnen washed out on the final corner due to his tires being completely shot.

2. That guy's a total washout.

idiotstick

A stupid person. 'idiot' describes someone that is stupid, but adding '-stick' denotes that the person is as dumb as a stick.
You missed the field goal? an 18-yard attempt?! Fuckin' idiotstick.

deja vu

The feeling that you are doing something that you've already done before. Literal translation "already seen" (from French, deja 'already', vu 'seen'). Apparently it's due to a blip in your brain process which gives you the illusion that you've been somewhere/done something before, and technically, you have - a fraction of a second ago.

However, a common misinterpretation of deja vu is a repeat of a certain event. For example, in an episode of Garfield and Friends (US Acres) Orson perpetually removes the same book (Deja vu: the feeling that you are doing something that you've done before) from a box of books over and over again. This is NOT deja vu; rather, it's an event that doesn't have a forseeable end: an infinite loop, if you will.

If you walk into a room and immediately get the feeling that you've been there before, then that is a case of deja vu.
When i stepped out the door and looked at the sky, i immediately felt like i'd forseen this. wow, deja vu. looks like its going to be a very interesting day...
