shoot your cuffs

A male preening gesture, whereby a man wearing a suit extends both his arms rapidly outwards (i.e. shoot), so that his dress shirt sleeves extend nicely beyond his suit sleeves.

Ready for the big dance? You look good in that suit. Shoot your cuffs for me. There, much better.

megathon

When you watch all the episodes of all the seasons of an entire TV series over a short-period of time. i.e. a mega marathon.

I haven't left my house in a week, I've been megathoning 24.

Let's see, I have two weeks between when my job ends and school starts. And I haven't seen The Wire yet. You know what, I think I'm going to megathon it.

hive justice

When an online "hive mind" or forum does a vigilante mission in real life, on behalf of victims.

"Dear community. I need some hive justice. I'm facing a lawsuit for $18,000 from a stock photo site that claims I stole one of their photos, when in fact they stole it from me!"

"Oh man, James had so much crap done to him IRL after he posted that YouTube of him abusing a cat. That's some hive justice right there."

placeholder boyfriend

A boyfriend who is just there to satisfy the need for having a boyfriend.

i.e. someone who is fulfilling short-term needs in your life, but for whom you don't see a long-term purpose.

Eh, he's just a placeholder boyfriend in my life. I hate sleeping alone.

--

I don't get fazed when I'm into a girl who has a boyfriend. I always just assume that he's a placeholder boyfriend, and that she'll dump him once she finds someone real.

food-doc diet

An accidental diet that starts after you watch a documentary about food.

Dude, my buddy's on a food-doc diet. He just saw Super Size Me and he hasn't been to McDonald's in a month!

I gave up red meat after watching Food, Inc. I guess I'm on a food-doc diet.

I don't mess with

A polite way of saying that you don't have, and don't want to have, anything to do with someone or something.

I don't mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show ... and that's a very nice way for me to put it!

I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I don't mess with that woman.
