Wife Tax

Its a funny way to say that your wife gets a cut of any unexpected financial gain. Like if you hit a lottery or win a big bet the wife gets her share.

Yeah bro I was in Vegas and won $500 playing craps but after the Wife Tax of 40% I only got to keep $300.

headset fake

The act of wearing a telephone headset prior to going to talk to someone who is either a bore or take much more time than needed. When you tire of the conversation you act like you are answering your phone and walk away. Very useful when the use of the kaygina shuffle is difficult.

I have to go talk to Bill, I am wearing my headset so I can make a quick exit by using a headset fake and pretending to answer a phone call

kaygina shuffle

The motion of movement used to describe the victim of an endless discussion trying to get away. This is normally done by sliding one's feet slowly away from the person talking, sometimes mumbling something like "right", "ok" or "sure". The intention is to exit the area without the offending person following. This can also be seen in single bars and is often used by women trying to get away from some tool.

Man I was out taking a smoke break and some dude comes over to talk about something, He wouldn't stop talking and I had to get back to work, so I had to do a kaygina shuffle to get away.

I can't calibrate this balance because i only brought a jeff's worth of mass, I'll have to use my body weight as measured to the k'inch. I'm going to have to k'inch this measurement to get it to pass.
