top hat trick

When someone pulls a lie out of nowhere within a few seconds.
Person A: I can't believe what Person C said to me.
Person B: What did he say?
Person A: I told him yesterday about the report, right?
Well, when I told him about them this morning, he said nothing for a few seconds, then said, "I had to go to an important family meeting!", even though he never said anything about it yesterday.
Person B: He's lying.
He's doing a top hat trick.

Chance Time Twist

A random event in a game that hands a bad player the win.
The game was nearing its end...
All sings pointed to Arle winning, and everyone accepted the fact happily. She performed well in minigames and made smart decisions.
But then...
On the last turn, the most productive property was given to a random player... and that player was Birdo, who kept investing in watermills.
The game ended at that moment, and when the points were calculated, Birdo was deemed the winner.
Birdo was obviously happy, but everyone else in the room, including Arle, muttered three words:
"Chance Time Twist".

fortress code

Atrociously written code that is only used or kept around because other code or systems rely on it.
Person A: Work today was rough. Someone threw together a program last week that takes minutes to organize files and we were told to use it.
Person B: Are you not allowed to change it?
Person A: Nope; it's fortress code at this point. Our boss replaced the computer's file manager with the program, and any change made to it would brick the computer.

glue stick helicopter

To perform this move, place a glue stick sideways on a flat surface, place your pointer finger on one side (preferably the bottom), and push your finger down. If done correctly, the glue stick will start spinning.

If pushed down hard enough, the glue stick will "jump", causing it to spin midair.

Repeating the move multiple times within a short period of time can result in pain, especially if you perform "jumps". The move is known for being loud, so please be careful and courteous to others when preforming.
Person A: Why does your finger hurt?
Person B: I did too many glue stick helicopters.
