Chalklet

The super tiny pieces of chalk that are created as a piece of chalk gets used up. These chalklets are too small to actually use, but tend to accumulate in classrooms with chalk boards until they are the only traces of chalk that remain.

I wanted to write an example on the board, but that was impossible. There was no chalk to be found, only chalklets.

dancervention

When someone's dancing is so bad that it needs to be excised from the dance floor; the ensuring process is a dancervention. Usually instigated by friends of the dance-challenged individual to save him/her from further embarrassment.

Harry is a great guy, but that running man he just did out there requires a dancervention to get him off the floor!

manly kiss

A kiss, most often on the cheek, shared by two hetero men. In the 2007 season, manly kissing became particularly popular with the New England Patriots.

The week after Bill Belichick was fined for cheating, quarterback Tom Brady and defenseman Teddy Bruschi gave their coach a manly kiss after the game, in a 'Hey coach, you've had a tough week, have a manly kiss' way.
