steinburg maneuver

When a girl is manipulating you with her hotness, and makes you think she is nice. However, after she ropes you in, she reveals her true self as being a crazy bitch whore and will murder you and your family.

Dude, this girl is a dime, but I think she might be executing the Steinburg maneuver on me

Lisa: "It's a Popeyes maneuver, plain and simple."

Amy Maneuver

Any lame excuse to avoid physical contact with a first date.

- “oh darn! I had a full day of sun yesterday so you’re meeting me all sunburnt”

- “are you pulling an amy maneuver to avoid my hug?”

Oatmeal Maneuver

When you drift into a powerslide within Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec on the Playstation 2 and don't know the name of the action, so you name it after a grain.

Paul: Woah! How'd you get around my car? I've been in first the entire!
Rudd: I don't know... I guess I used the Oatmeal Maneuver.

eVASEive maneuver

Refers to the strategic actions that Mr. Lodge employed in an (unsuccessful, naturally! :P) attempt to prevent the clumsy accident-prone Archie from bumblingly knocking over his "priceless 'n' super-fragile" antique Ming Dynasty vase: he placed the ultra-vulnerable artifact on a small display-stand away off in the far end of the room, and put an indestructible rubber replica of the vase in the center of the room for Archie to look at instead of the genuine --- and incredibly breakable --- clay urn.

Mr. Lodge smugly gloats to his daughter Veronica about the ingenious eVASEive maneuver he has employed to protect his lovely valuable work of art from the soon-to-arrive-for-a-visit Archie --- "I had a rubber replica made of it; Archie won't be able to break this bouncy duplicate no matter how hard he bumps into it!" Of course, his seemingly-foolproof plan fails miserably (as usual!)... the hapless Archie --- fearing that he'll damage the vase even though it's just a rubber replica --- backs warily away from it and unknowingly blunders straight into the REAL VASE that's sitting on a stool behind him, sending it crashing to the floor and splintering all to pieces. :P
