Epilepsy Dance 

A common term for an unnamed dance style made famous by singer-songwriter Ian Curtis. The dance consists of wild, rapid arm movements along with a spasm-like jittering of the body; somewhat reminiscent of a grand mal seizure which is where it gets it's name from.
Ian Curtis was famous for his "epilepsy dance" during his on-stage performances with post-punk band Joy Division.

Partial Onset Epilepsy

a form of epilepsy that isn't all that bad but it makes you have short, kind of uncomfortable seizures that I really would prefer to not have.

It is also slange for what Emu's do on their days off. Little known fact right there.
Ex 1: Due to my Partial Onset Epilepsy, I have seizures sometimes and they make me feel quite ill (NOT the good kind of ill). On the plus side, I get to take anti-convulsent medication with many, many side effects. It is so great.

Ex. 2: I heard that when an Emu gets a day off it is refered to as Partial Onset Epilepsy. They could have picked a better nick-name. It is so not funny to make fun of neurological disorders. Emus are all terrible.
