Parking spot vulture
Parking spot vultures may often converge in droves of three cars or more, waiting ten or more minutes to get a spot in a parking lot. Parking spot vultures do not like to walk long distances or find another lot. They hover in the same lot, and even vigilantly look to see when a person is going to get in their car, so they can grab that spot. This happens in mall lots, supermarket lots, and other tight places where parking is a premium.
Wow. I thought I would never make it to the library. As soon as I entered the lot, there was a parking spot vulture in front of me, waiting to grab the last parking spot. I ended up parking on a side street and walking.

copy and paste author
(n). Someone, who sees something on the Internet, like a definition on urban dictionary, a Web site, a song lyric page, or any place where text can be copied and pasted to seem as if the paster wrote it himself.
Sometimes the copy and paster does it just to get electronically published.
What often results is that the Internet has not two, not three, but four, five, even more Web sites with the same information, and it is hard to distinguish who the genuine author is. It could be a kid, a law professor, the guy at Home Depot, etc.

When I looked up for information on my favorite rock band, I found three different sites with the same content. Two of the sites were made by a copy and paste author.

tap dance typist
tap dance typist (n). One who types so noisily on a PC that you can hear them from across the room (even fifty feet away). The more public the setting, the more annoying the situation. The typing often sounds as if the typing is mimicking a tap dance routine--with the enter/return button getting a big "stomp".
How are we going to get any work done in the library, Jane? That tap dance typist has been putting on a public show for over an hour!

letting the air out of the tires
(v). To fart subtly, and slowly. Usually it is a fart that is restrained to the point where all you can here is a wisp or a faint hissing noise for a few seconds. This fart is not a ripper, or a fanny flapper. It's a breezy one, that can take on the harshest stench depending on what one ate beforehand.
Honestly, Jack, what are you doing behind that window drape?
Shhh! I'm letting the air out of the tires. Damn onions.
