jump the curb

The act of literally jumping a car over a curb, usually done under one of two instances:

1. A drunk driver wiping out

or

2. Someone is intending to hit someone

The second condition happens more in video games than in real life, and the phrase was often heard back in the mid-90's by players of Twisted Metal. It can be heard more now by GTA players, as the shouting of "jump the curb!" at the player is an encouragement to run over pedestrians.
1. The drunk man tried to flee to cops, only to jump the curb.

2. "Hit 'em, hit 'em! Jump the curb! Smash!!!"

Nelly Furtado

A Canadian musical artist that started off, as many aspiring young female artists do, to make cheery and wholesome music that a wide audience will want to listen to. Then, she was seduced to the pop music world's dark side by DJ Jasper Gahunia, who left her knocked up and with a loss of identity.

In spite rumors of her getting engaged to another man in July 2007 to clean up her act, her reputation was forever tarnished by the incident as well as by her reduction to the performance of complete trash "music" featuring Timbaland.

Her song "Promiscuous" has since been parodied by numerous artists (such as Odd Austin and Every Ape) as "Ridiculous," which is what she became after performing that song.
Nelly Furtado: "Do I seem a dummkopf?"
Timbaland: "Yep."
Nelly Furtado: "I was afraid so..."

Leibniz-Newton Effect

The Leibniz-Newton Effect, or LNE, signifies when two alike or similar products or ideas are either created or discovered by two different individuals with no clear evidence that Guy 1 and Guy 2 had any influence on each other.

The term is derived from the fact that Gottfried Leibniz and Isaac Newton both discovered calculus, without knowing about each other until after they had both attempted to get their work published.

In the world of animation, it is said to be the effect of two studios coming up with very similar ideas for a movie with no clear proof that one truly did steal the idea from the other.
With no real solid evidence that either one truly inspired the other, it remains plausible that the release of the eerily similar "Flushed Away" by Dreamworks and "Ratatouille" by Pixar is an instance of the Leibniz-Newton Effect, wherein which great minds think way too much alike.

Zeroes

Web parody of "Heroes," featuring the discovery of "mutants" who have acquired special (albeit worthless) special abilities that enable them to do nothing more than make fools of themselves.
The Mumbler, the Kick-Back-of-Head Guy, the Man-of-Many-Hats, Cindy the Fist-in-Mouth Cheerleader, the Man Whose Stick-Figure Drawings Predict Useless Information About the Future, and the Pinto-Bean-from-the-Eye Man are all talented in pointless ways; making them...Zeroes!
