verb
1. To fall asleep, often in conjunction with attempting to stay awake and subsequently failing. Often happens during great sporting events during those boring middle bits, right before the epicness of the finale.

2. To announce one's desire for a short nap, to go and take said nap, and then fail to return at the announced time. The only logical explanation being that one has fallen asleep again.
