Circumcoition

A ten-dollar word for "screwing around," i.e., wasting time -- circum (around) + coition (having sex).

"OK, folks, enough of this circumcoition -- let's get this goddam truck unloaded."

lotion chimp

A particularly low-order minion -- qualified to perfrom only the most mindless tasks, on the order of a trained chimpanzee smearing suntan lotion on its reclining master.

I had a morning meeting, so I had my lotion chimp come over and let the electrician in.

Don't leave horsepower in the showroom

A metaphorical rule to live by: don't make the mistake of choosing the cheaper option to save a buck in the short run, when you'll curse yourself later for not getting the better-grade product/service in the long run.

Eric: "What was I thinking buying that Porsche with the V-4 instead of the V-6 -- it handled like a Formula 1 car but is a total slug in a straight line!"
Tim: "Dude, you broke rule number 1 -- don't leave horsepower in the showroom."
And so --
Maddie: "This well Margarita sucks -- why didn't I get the Cadillac for two bucks more?"
Amy: "Exactly. Don't leave horsepower in the showroom, sweetie."

iphone sushi

The article produced when one inserts one's water-soaked iPhone into a box of white rice, desperately trying to resuscitate it by having the rice draw out the moisture.

"Dude, sorry I didn't text you -- I've got iPhone sushi here thanks to my wife washing my trou without checking the pockets."

Polarious

Adjective describing hyperbolic political speech that is so over-the-top polarizing as to be laughable, indeed hilarious.

Eric: Do you remember when Hillary Clinton called Trump's supporters a "basket of deplorables"?
Tim: Yeah, or when Trump called Rand Paul "a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain"?
Eric and Tim: Yeah, polarious!

Coexpensive

Costing the same

"Hey, from here, a trip to Paris is roughly coexpensive with going to Hawaii -- let's go to France."

Or: "Outsourcing payroll is going to be coexpensive with keeping it in house, so I could go either way on it."

It's obviously a play on "coextensive."
