observational humor

The ability to laugh rather than weep upon seeing one's accurate reflection.
Paul awoke the morning of his 60th birthday and examined his face closely in the mirror. Laughing wryly at the sight, he vowed never to perform that act again. Observational humor, in this case, only went so far.

weight loss surgery

Any of several surgical procedures designed to produce substantial weight reduction in obese patients refractory to conventional measures.
Current options for weight loss surgery include the following:

1. Gastric bypass, in which the esophagus is essentially connected directly to the small intestine. This reduces caloric intake at the expense of considerable potential adverse effects.
2.Gastric banding, also referrred to as bariatric surgery, compresses the stomach by means of an external mechanical device. Appetite and capacity are reduced resulting in gradual weight loss.
3.Above-knee amputation produces weight reduction in a biphasic pattern. The immediate post-operative drop is supplemented by a long-term increase in caloric expenditure derived from hopping.

Negative weight shit

The phenomenon, reported exclusively by frustrated dieters, of weighing more after a full evacuation.
Having sucessfully dispatched a massive, Niles was more annoyed than surprised to learn he'd gained another 2 pounds.

"Great" he muttered to the scale, "a negative weight shit". "Dieting's not hard enough, now I gotta contend with alternative physics".
Later on he resolved to remove nearly all anti-matter from his daily menu.

permanent staycation

Man 1: What's up? Ain't seen you around the plant much lately.
Man 2: And you won't either. I've undergone a lifestyle upgrade. My dial set to chill and froze in that position. I'm ridin' the stationary wave of a permanent staycation.
Man 2's wife (under her breath): Uh huh. Only wave that fool's likely to ride is when I wave his lazy, unemployed ass goodbye.
