Imaginary employment handcuffs. Like, when you're working at a corporate job whilst yearning to work in a different environment but can't, because the money and benefits are too good. They've got you by the corpcuffs.

The imaginary handcuffs slapped upon you when someone engages you in what should be a brief conversation, but turns into a long, drawn-out monologue. You are trapped in a conversation from which you cannot escape.
"Sorry I'm late for our meeting but I ran into Julie and she had me in conversation cuffs and I couldn't get away."

Short for "video valium". To be sedated by a movie or banal TV show that:
A: Puts you to sleep
B: Is distracting or calming enough to relieve anxiety
This is especially true for DVD commentaries.

"Not now honey, I'm watching Seventh Heaven. You know it's my vid-val."
"Sorry, I was sleeping so I couldn't get your call. I was watching the producer's commentary to The Secret. It was total vid-val. Put me right out!"
