Renaissance Fryday

A day set aside to be nice to a friend who is feeling down, observed on the third Friday in October.

Etymology: derived from "Renaissance," a program in which students with good grades receive gifts from local merchants; + (French) "fry," because the event which inspired Renaissance Fryday took place at a McDonalds that gave free French fries to students in this program; + "day." "Fry" and "day" were combined into one word to resemble the word "Friday," since said event occurred on a Friday (10/15/1993).

Happy Renaissance Friday! I'm sorry your girlfriend just broke up with you. Let's go get some burgers.

kilochurch

A large church, usually one that draws people from a wider geographical area than one town or neighborhood, that is not big enough to be considered a megachurch. Kilochurches usually have an average weekend attendance between 1000 and 10,000.

I like First Baptist because it's a kilochurch. Smaller churches can be too closed when you're new in the community

put all one's sperm in one basket

(verb) To make major life decisions based solely around an anticipated, currently nonexistent, and typically unlikely, future relationship; said of a male.

I feel sorry for Joe. He quit his job and moved to Los Angeles because Jane was moving to Los Angeles, then Jane met a guy down there and Joe hates it there. He put all his sperm in one basket.

(the example should include "put all one's sperm in one basket" verbatim, but that would be bad grammar, so I have to write it somewhere)
