clothing optional 

Words on a sign at boundary of naturist beach, beyond which it becomes a criminal offence to wander about buck naked.

fool's errand 

A special errand given to new employees.

The new lab technician was sent ten floors to the basement store to get a bucketful of benzene rings.
Storeman: What kind would you like? Ortho, Meta, Para?

television 

1. Opiate for the masses since the 1950's. Therby rendering them unfit both physically and mentally for any form of revolution. Rolling over on the sofa does not count as a revolution.

2. Very effective brainwashing machine.

Please repeat after me:
"I believe in television.
I believe that the TV news are true.
I believe that soap operas are true."

beer festival 

1. A festival where the promoted theme (eg. a popular brand of beer, folk singing, medieval banquet, striptease, Octoberfest) is blatantly ignored, and large quantities of beer is drunk. And people roll about rat arsed, pissed as a newt, lit up like a christmas tree, and display a range of loud and disorderly behaviour.

I went to the (insert your favourite beer) Beer Fastival and had a great time!

spin 

A dance, usu. in a disco where one turns his or her body round at high speed. Harder than it looks, but possible with practice and wearing smooth soled shoes on a wooden dance floor.

If you stumble or go off balance you tumble off at an angle bumping into other dancers = uber + uncool

If you can rotate smoothly three times, and come to a graceful stop at the same spot = cool + sometimes pull

John could not spin and can only freak at the disco, whereas Jerry could spin and pull lots of chicks.
