OHSHIT moment

An OHSHIT moment is the instant between the pain and screaming, or the first time you smell Paris Hilton's cooch. (Maybe a mix of both.) Any sort of moment where you are bound to freak out has an OHSHIT, big or small. Here you may yell out a shitplitive, begin to cry, or crap yourself. Or all three.
(An example of an OHSHIT moment)

In Johnny's head-

Strange Weather

1. The Ninth song on Tom Waits' 1988 live album, Big Time.

2. A phenomenon that occurs as a cliche everywhere in real life, as well as Hollywood and books. Strangers only talk about the weather, for the most part, no matter what the situation is.
Excerpt from Strange Weather-

The world is getting flatter,
The sky is falling all around
Oh, and nothing is the matter
For I never cry in town
And a love like ours, my dear,
Is best measured when it's down
And I never buy umbrellas,
'Cause there's always one around.
And all over the world Strangers
Talk only 'bout the weather

The not so ingenious way of saying Shit and Fuck together. However, it is not considered a swear , so it is OK in public, if you put more emphasis on SHI than FUCK! It can be a Safe For Work shitplitive.

Clang, Boom and Steam

1. The thirteenth song on Tom Waits' 2004 album, Real Gone.

Well my baby ’s so fine
Even her car looks good
From behind
Oh yeah!
Well my baby ’s so fine
Even her car looks good
From behind

But the train that took
My baby…
It went Clang, Boom and Steam
