mimioflexion

a picture that exhibits recursion i.e., a picture within a picture within a picture ad infinitum. Examples include the Morton's Salt Girl and the Land O' Lakes Lady.

Stephen Colbert and the Miami Dolphins eschew mimioflexion. It's as though they are thumbing their nose (and flippering their snouts) at the world's mimioflexion enthusiasts.

heister

A basketball player who shoots often even though their tendency is to miss the shots that they take. A heister has a shooter's mentality but not a shooter's ability.

Once Ricky Davis got the ball, I knew it was going up. He is a heister.

getting on my pancreas

when someone or something is particularly pleasing or agreeable; the opposite of "getting on my nerves".

It was late, but still I was sad for dinner to end because she was really getting on my pancreas with her stories about yelling, "Hear ye, hear ye ..." during Confession.
