do a foreign moment
To start speaking a foreign language that the person being addressed doesn't, or is not likely to, understand. Comes in very handy when you're trying to shake off panhandlers and other people with whom you don't want to get involved.
A group of Arab kids came up to me and asked me if they wanted me to smoke a joint. I wanted to do a foreign moment, so I just told them, "nye govoryu po-angliyskiy!". That's Russian for "I don't speak English!".

hoyoto
Derogatory word for a person who enjoys classical music and especially operas, as seen by one who is not well-educated about such music or is a tactless clod or both. From the "Ho-jo-to-ho" aria of Brunnhilde in "Die Walkure" from Richard Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen".
Zack: Let's get out of here. That restaurant charges $20 just for shrimp parmigiana---it must be a place where a hoyoto loves to go!
Buddy: Yeah, I'm tired of these overpriced restaurants!
Mark (musician carrying cello): I heard what you called me, a "hoyoto". Now I might be a "hoyoto" but at least I can play music, you lame-brained assholes! What talent do the both of you have? Nothing: you just stand around reading those gossip sheets all day. And as for the prices at the restaurant---didn't you know that the price is for a FULL MEAL, and they don't use shit that comes from a can? The sauces are all made with FRESH ingredients!

lethargometer
Pronounced leth-arg-AH-meh-ter, the lethargometer is an imaginary device that judges how sleepy you are, how much sleep you really needd, lets other people know how long you'll be sleeping while the phone is ringing, and silences the ringer if the person on the other line is too persistent.
