Neighbor 1: "What dicks."
Neighbor 2: "Yeah...I hate the Plain Dealer and their trashvertising. It's gonna cost me $50 to have this thing fixed."

To nit-pick on a creative project that is not your own, usually focusing on minor details that eventually stack up and change the look and feel of the piece. Very unnerving to the creative in charge of the project, especially if the pixel fucker is standing right behind the creative during the production.
Account Exec: Hey...you finish editing that spot yesterday?
Editor: Hell no! I thought we were going to be done by lunch time, but the stupid client pixel fucked it until midnight. He'll be here in a hour for more.

Informal sign language gesture meant to convey awkwardness of the person making the sign, usually in a group conversation that takes place face-to-face.
Can be used to show awkwardness regarding many things, like abrupt changes in conversation topic, sudden hit on the opposite sex, anything in the TMI realm, etc.
The sign is made by placing the left hand out flat, in front of you, palm down, thumb sticking out to the right. The right hand is then put directly on top of the left hand, palm down, with the thumb pointing to the left. Both thumbs are then moved back and forth to mimic the fins of a swimming sea turtle.
Make the sign a few inches in front of your stomach, not to far away from your body.
