From the classic, campy Batman: The Movie starring Adam West. Robin (Burt Ward) had a habit of making strange exclamations (Holy Polaris, Holy Sardine, Holy Captain Nemo... you get the idea.
At one point in the movie, Batman is attacked by--you guessed it--an inflatable shark, against which he must defend himself whilst the faithful Robin runs to get the shark-repellent bat spray.

Related to facebook; the action of adding another student as a friend. You click a button, "requesting" that the other person will allow you to add them as a friend. They will receive your request and can either accept or deny it.
You can deny any friend request, and the other person will not be told you rejected them; however, you will not appear on their friend list. This will lead to their repeated attempts to "friend' you. In the end, it's easier just to confirm the darn request.
Despite the appearance and similar meaning, not a shortened form the word befriended.

Used to describe a new product or trend that is healthier, cheaper, or wussier (but rarely all three) than the original.
See Miller Lite, Kazaa Lite, lite rock.

Can be used in any situation.
