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.

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.

outthereness 

A condition or situation of being known for appearing in a popular television series, and when written off the show readily picked up for other parts due to one's inherent popularity.

Although the actress playing Dexter's girlfriend Rita has been eliminated from the cast of the show through her character's murder, her current outthereness will certainly facilitate her job-hunting.
