birdy drink

Juvenile term for a method of consuming a drink from a community container (other than squeeze bottles) without said container actually making contact. The container's opening is placed just above the mouth, and the beverage is poured in. Requires a little bit of practice to avoid making you look like you have a hole in the lip.
That's the only bottle of water, so you better birdy drink from that.

Je ne sais quoi 

French: "I do not know what".

As far as english speaking people are concerned, this is spoken by snooty types as to sound more sophisticated than they are, used humorously as such by people who *do* know what it means, and spoken by French when they need to say "I don't know what" in French.

Generally speaking, can be used if you're feeling particularly suave to give an explanation of something of a certain unknown or indescribable quality.

See also unobtanium.
"This house lacks what the French may call a certain je ne sais quoi," said the pretentious rich bastard.

Go get yourself a cup of coffee 

Metaphorical.

1) "This procedure we just took you through will now result in you waiting around for a bit, so rather than sitting around twiddling your thumbs watching the computer think, why not take a break away from your workstation instead?"

2) "This procedure or anecdote we are about to take you through will take a bit of time. Now is a good time to take care of whatever you feel is necessary before we proceed, because interrupting for one reason or another, emergencies barred, would be a not so good thing."

Comes mostly from technical documents, specifically where compiling is involved, as sometimes the process of compiling code takes a while.
"I'm going to be working on your computer for a while, James," Jerry said to the auditor as he frobbed some drivers. "Best go get yourself a cup of coffee

sackafracking

Generic term of disgust or ennui, preceded by the object of said disgust or ennui.

Otomotopaeic - derived from the sound of grumbling that used to come from Muttley, Dick Dastardly's old canine partner in crime.

A side note, I personally started using it as a good substitute for "cotton pickin'", in an attempt to <i>not</i> offend the black guys I used to work with.

Invariably pronounced without the trailing 'ing', rather with 'in' instead.
Would somebody turn the sackafrackin' thermostat up? It's freezing in here!

patriot day 

September 11, in recognition of the events of September 11, 2001. A kneejerk reaction to this sort of thing, in this author's opinion.
Patriot day happened, and nobody noticed.
