expensive paperweight

An object that may have had an original purpose (usually electronic devices) or a concept model of something else, but in any case unable to serve its intended purpose except as a display item or a paperweight
Since many of these paperweights, especially those of the old electronics category, required a larger investment at its initial purchase, these paperweights become expensive, hence, the "expensive paperweight"
I found an old ipod in my uncle's basement, but it doesn't even work anymore so now it's just an expensive paperweight!

Is that a BlackBerry?
It WAS a BlackBerry, now it's just an expensive paperweight!

Whoa is that seriously a holographic infrared keyboard?
Nope, this is just the concept model for a holographic infrared keyboard that got rejected during the pitch... So now it's just an expensive paperweight!

star wars holiday special

A film aired in the late 70's set in the star wars setting. It is by far the biggest waste of 2 hours. If you dont believe me, you can watch the whole thing (in parts) on youtube. The only thing good about it is the Boba Fett cartoon. 90% of the film is set in Chewbacca's house, and he's not even there until the end. Watch it if you want, but don't blame me if you felt you just wasted your time.
guy 1: dude, that star wars holiday special sucks!
guy 2: duh, I told you not to watch it

weed hangover

Having all the symptoms of a typical hangover, except due to the effects of smoking marijuana. Weed hangovers tend to be more incapacitating than a typical hangover, and people that have experienced these will testify that they are typically much worse than the average alcohol induced hangover. Symptoms include:
Nausea
Headache
Sensitivity to light
Vomiting
Fatigue
all of these typical of a regular hangover

the plague

in a historical context, the plague often refers to the bubonic plague or "black death", also known as pestilence, which wiped out large portions of the population of Europe and Asia during the 14th and 15th centuries

in a modern vernacular context, the plague refers to someone being out with illness, most often a chest cold or flu, usually exaggerating the extent of one's illness while demonstrating their incapacity
Sara can't come in today, she's out with the plague
Okay then send her my condolences and tell her to get better soon!
