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!

Cloudy

Computer files that are backed up online, or in the cloud. If a file is cloudy, then there is no need to worry about losing the copy on the computer.
My computer crashed while I was working on my term paper for my history class. At first, I was worried. Then I remembered that I had uploaded a copy to Dropbox, so the paper was cloudy.
