mobile mouth

A person who carries on cell phone conversations in public places in such a loud voice it's as if they're sure everyone just has to be interested in what they're saying.

Even though I was several aisles away in the supermarket, I couldn't help but hear that mobile mouth as clearly as if he were talking to me.

Doin' the Bump

In what might be called a much earlier form of "twerking" (see Urban Dictionary for definition), the more versatile "bump", an extremely popular dance craze of the early 1970's, involved repeated and often continuous partner-to-partner hip contact of several specific varieties: rear to rear, side to side, front to rear (as in the aforementioned twerking), and last but not least. the mutual frontal option consisting of the thrusting of the partners' groin areas against each other in what can perhaps only be described as a sort of "dancing dry hump".

Man, can you believe it; I was doin' the Bump so good with this super hot chick at the party last night that I had to say to her "If we keep this up I won't be able to do anything else later!"

zipper slip

Forgetting to zip back up after going to the bathroom in a public place. Often accompanied by a "zipper coma", where you almost NEVER remember to attend to that little matter.

Of all the times to do this, Fred had a zipper slip just before walking up the aisle at his own wedding.

shear stupidity

Getting an outrageously expensive haircut that ends up making you look like you got run over by a rusty lawnmower.

Did you see James? He looks like he just stuck his finger in a wall socket.

Yeah, splurging on a haircut like that was shear stupidity.
