jazz hands

A cabaret-style dance move, popularized by the musical "Fosse". Now used, usually ironically, to express excitement, glee, razzle dazzle, etc.

The move is performed by tilting the head slightly, shimmering the hands with fingers splayed either side of the face and crying "Jazz hands!" with an enthusiastic smile. Think Jack from Will and Grace.

Also *JAZZ HANDS!!!* used as an expressive punctuation on blogs and bulletin boards.

I'm all for guys getting in touch with their emotions but he's just too jazz hands for me.

catherine tate

A woman comedian for whom no allowances need to be made. A brilliant observer of social types in modern Britain...she drills into the kind of people you normally skirt around and taps the wellspring of their irritating nature. Rarely has an apprenticeship with the Royal Shakespeare Company been put to such good use. The nation should immortalize her in Cockney rhyming slang.

"Sorry I'm Catherine, the traffic was awful."
or
"Can't come out tonight, I've got a Catherine."
or
"You're looking Catherine, have you lost Catherine?"

bonus time

1. time additional to the time that has been planned or paid for.

2. a regular promotion at Clinique counters where you buy two skincare products you were planning to buy anyway and get yet another cheap make-up bag full of samples.

3. the moment you discover that the sweet, handsome, kind and amusing guy you've been dating happens to be hung like a horse.

1. "More than a month into bonus time after a successful primary mission on Mars, NASA's Spirit rover has sighted possibly layered rock in hills just ahead."

2. "It's Bonus Time at the Clinique counters at participating Dillard's in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma and the Memphis, TN area."

3. "WOAH!!!......marry me, baby."
