Pulling a Sammy

The showbiz art of upstaging someone. It began when it was Sammy Davis, Jr.'s turn to move down on Johnny Carson's couch to make room for the next guest. WHen that guest said something funny, Sammy would react by laughing loudly, slapping his knee and falling to the floor. The audience would then begin laughing at Sammy and not the guest.

Next to the Candy Man, no one was better at "pulling a Sammy" than Milton Berle.

Rack Focus

When a cinematographer turns the focal ring on his lens to shift focus from a foreground object to a background object.

A rack focus is really a cheap, metaphorical device for the unimaginative to link two objects/people in a frame.

Zoom lens

The lazy man's dolly or tracking shot. Used effectively only in cases where speed is needed to grab the audiences' attention.

"We're losing light. Let's use a zoom lens instead of going through the difficulties of pre-planning and executing a superior tracking shot."

Staff Car

When you get into a freezing cold automobile and your body heat causes the windows to fog over, draw a swastika in one of the windows. Ouila -- You've got a staff car! The next day when your parents get in the car, the windows re-fog and they too can drive to work in a staff car. Guaranteed laffs for the entire family!

"You see, officer it was a joke. We turned our Yugo into a staff car. Get it?"

Cunt Trumpet

Pussy farts. After a good, hard fuck that pumps a lot of air into the vagina, the sound that emerges from a woman's birth canal. Guaranteed to make you laugh. Unlike their rectal counterparts, pussy farts do not smell.

"What a cunt trumpet! She's the Louis Armstrong of queefers! Play 'Freebird!'"
