Bike/Horse Rule 

A principle invoked when urging someone to persevere despite initial failure, which fully stated is: "You don't need me to remind you, when things don't go well the first time, try again." So named because it is drawn from two familiar premises: (a) persevering is like riding a bike, you never forget how, and (b) when you fall off a horse, you get right back on and give it another go.

My nephew just failed the bar a second time and was ready to hang it up, but I reminded him of the Bike/Horse Rule and told him to sign up for the thing again, he'll get it.

In 'N' Out Drive-Thru 

Medical vernacular for a colonoscopy (colon) and an upper endoscopy (stomach) performed in one visit to the doctor -- aka the "spit roast."

My gastroenterologist thought it would be a good idea to check both my stomach and my colon, so I had to go in for an In 'N' Out Drive-Thru last week. Came back clean. Are you overdue for yours?

amusocompromised 

Humorless; dour; unsmiling.

Man, Bill's roommate is severely amusocompromised -- we must have watched six "Seinfelds" last night and the guy didn't crack a smile the whole time.
