Light--20% fewer letters, same great pronunciation!
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.
In its proper use, lite should appear AFTER the noun it is modifying. This gives the term an appropriately quirky feel.

A sale of secondhand items, held in a driveway, garage, or front yard. They usually take place on Saturday mornings in summer.
From rummage sale, so called because it is a sale where you can freely "rummage" (or sort) through things in piles or boxes.
They typically include used clothes, old records, ancient appliances, Happy Meal toys, potholders, small brass deer, broken watches, coffee cups, and "crafty" Christmas decorations. Each sale is different, and finding something good is not a guarantee. (One might argue that it is actually unlikely, as you are sorting through someone else's cast-offs.)
It's main appeal is the thrill of the hunt and the chance at finding a real bargain.

You wouldn't believe the find I got at this rummage today! A nearly complete set of beat-up Beatles albums! AND a broken record player on which to play them!

Even between friends, this exchange comes off as creepy and overenthusiatic:
persondude: yo
animefangirl: SQUEEEEEEE! *glomp!*
The second person in this conversation, on the other hand, maintains a small level of dignity or reserved coolness:
persondude: hey
cooliochika: *tacklehugs*

The internationally-recognised time to start any homework that has been assigned for one's weekend. This includes (but is not limited to) math problems, lines, essays, papers, presentations, studying for exams, and take-home tests.
Larger projects are usually assigned over a weekend because of the "extra time" it gives students. This is amusing because students do not utilise this extra time, instead choosing to begin work on at the very end of the weekend.
In some cases, Sunday afternoon is better stated as Sunday evening.
See also the eleventh hour.

A voicemail or message left on an answering machine that is nothing but a few seconds of dead air.
Left by people who cannot, for some inexplicable reason, hang up the phone BEFORE the end of the outgoing message, but instead wait until the recording begins.

Eric's voice: Hey there, I'm not around right now. There's going to be a beep in a few seconds; you know what to do.
*beep*
Lisa: .... *hangs up telephone*
