lolcat
A photo of a cat doing a seemingly-innocuous thing, with large text superimposed. Sort of an offshoot of the orly owl. Also called cat macros
"I made you a cookie but I eated it", "ceiling cat is watching you masturbate", and "I see what you did there" are good examples of lolcats.

cat macro
(Also lolcat.) A picture of a cat doing something seemingly-innocuous, with words photoshopped over the picture. Probably an offshoot of the orly owl.
"I see what you did there", "oh, hi, I upgraded your ram", and "aggressive cat is aggressive/defensive cat is defensive" are three popular cat macros.

manage expectations
corporate doublespeak for "we don't want to do our best, so let's make sure people think we're doing our best without revealing that we're not doing our best" -- anything in which you have to "manage expectations" means you could probably devote more time and effort to making things better, but you just don't feel like it
Marketing has to manage expectations of our new software package so that the boss doesn't make us do any more work.

Radiohead
an admittedly-talented band that is overplayed on every alterna-rock station; tends to overdo the political stuff, which detracts from their music

pancake
1. Comedian Mitch Hedberg refered to "pancaking" as starting out strong, but then halfway through your act, the audience is sick of you. Kind of like when you eat a lot of pancakes; they're great at first, but by the end you're like "jeez, that's too much".
2. Street for "crack". (See Family Guy)
