*THE* British Government and the most dangerous man you will ever meet.
•Mycroft: "For goodness sake! I occupy a minor position in the British Government."
•Sherlock: "He is the British Government - when he's not too busy being the Secret Service or the CIA on a freelance basis. Good evening, Mycroft. Try not to start a war before I get home, you know what it does for the traffic."

Pulling a mycroft 

When you forget to turn off the stove, when making tea, after a number of hours, your water has evaporated, and your pot is seared; consequently also, when you forget to turn the stove on and you wonder, after a lengthy period, why the water isn't the least bit hot. *Can be used in reference to any kitchen dealings.

"Jenny, the water evaporated, you pulled a Mycroft again!" - "Silly water won't boil if I pull a Mycroft."

mycrofting 

When a particularly sexually-adventurous chap takes a rusty vice-clamp and secures it rigidly at opposing points of his anus, and proceeds to twist clockwise until the pain is too much to bear and a black hole forms, sucking everything within a 100 mile radius into his super-tight rectum. This will generally produce an especially violent supernova within this man's colon, most likely affecting the next few day's bowel movements.
Craven Morehead: *weeps openly* I was so sad about my girlfriend breaking up with me that I went mycrofting all night long. My anoos is soooooo sore. I'm afraid to go to the doctor because the vice is still stuck on my asshole.

Jack Mayhoff: Were you feeling really lonely or something?

Ken Yah Swalo: (entering) No, I forced him to do it. I thought it would help him get over his girlfriend. (pause)... It didn't work.

my latvian English teacher didn't know how to spell minecraft and just typed in microft and made it a sentence.

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.
