Chicophony 

The experience of being in multiple concurrent conversations while managing one primary conversation but retaining enough of a semblance of other conversations to jump in to another with ease. Primarily observed in greater Chicago area.

Steve and Marcy, somewhat aghast at the apparent impoliteness of the room of 10 Chicagoans all talking over each other, wondered how they could break through the Chicophony.

saddle boating 

The placement of one's face, specifically the mouth, into the area between a woman's buttocks, followed by a rapid shaking of the face in a side-to-side motion accompanied by expelling a large amount of air. The resulting sound that is created sounds similar to an outboard boat motor.

Frank, looking for a change, and because his chick has a sweet badonkadonk, engaged in saddle boating much to his girlfriend's delight.

costco effect

Over purchasing because the price per unit is too attractive to pass up.
