Adamant

When someone uses the word adamant in a sentence to try sound precise and determined, lower the tone and throw their momentum right off by directing the conversation to 80's legend Adam Ant, of Adam and the Ants.
They: '...so I told her I was adamant that...'
You: 'Hold-up! YOU were Adam Ant, 1980's pop star & all 'round Goodfella?'
They: 'Eh, er, um, wha...?!?'
You: 'You know, Adam Ant. War paint on face? Answers to 'Highwayman'? Swings from chandeliers?'
They: "No, I was just sayin'…'
You: 'Are you… Adamant about THAT? just sayin''
They: '....'

Electric Sin

The sensation felt during/after jumping a red light on an electric bicycle.

Unlike a regular cyclist, electric riders experience a moment of shame akin to a car driver jumping a traffic light (which they would never do).
Folk: 'rolled through Times Square on red & felt Electric Sin, right up until a bike messenger slammed into me on the next green'.

However

To the layman, it's an alternative to but. However, the connotations of but are wholly negative, whereas however provides an Icarus from the ashes.

Use it sparingly, use it well.
She: 'I must profess I have a big butt. However, it's as shapely as the legend of bootylicious, therefore you must worship.'
You: indeed.

They: 'IT doesn't work'
They: 'I installed IT and then the screen went blank. Why?'
They: 'He works in IT'

Freelance Bladder

Freelancer(s) who work from home cannot survive without knowing a bathroom is a few meters away.

This is because they are so used to waiting until the very last moment to use it & seldom have to queue.

As a result of this, even a 10 minute car journey will see them popping-in both before, after & probably also thinking about it somewhere in between.

Do not attempt to initiate stage fright, as it just makes it worse. A Freelancer will still have to go again within the hour.
They: Can you help me carry this suitcase to the car?
Freelancer: Sure thing! Gotta have a quick slash first
They: But you've only just been? You so have a Freelance Bladder!
