cue ball 

A small white glob of unknown origin that accumulates on the lips of a dry-mouthed, often nervous, speaker. It's elastic and adhesive qualities enable it to stretch between upper and lower lips to the complete distraction and disgust of the audience.

Remember to take a sip of water now and then during your presentation--we don't want to blow this deal over a cue ball.

jiffy pop 

A large teased up balloon-like hair style finished smooth with a several coats of hair spray. Maintenance requires wearing a plastic rain bonnet or flimsy nyson scarf for outdoor activities or driving, special neck support pillows to elevate one's head above the sleep surface for nighttime protection (see Sunday newspaper supplement), frequent hand smoothing and mirror cross-checks to confirm finish integrity and global symmetry, and regular Saturday morning salon makeovers.

We had great seats for the wedding until those two jiffy pops took the seats in front of us.

Not tonight--my jiffy pop might crack.
