An extreme variety of multitasking, othertasking is the act of totally ignoring a present, serious task for another, usually less serious, task. Such behavior is only true othertasking if it is couched in the fiction that both tasks are being worked on.
"I really needed to watch the last half hour of that movie, but I was stuck in class, so I turned on my computer, put my earphones in and othertasked the movie. Way more efficient than just skipping class."
"There is no way I can write this essay and finish this crossword in the next hour... that is, unless I sit in front of my computer with the essay in front of me and othertask the crossword."

To agree with a significant other to be exclusive, but with no intention of honoring that agreement at all. This term is based on Wachovia's exclusivity agreement with Citigroup, which was made while Wachovia was better-dealing Citigroup with Wells Fargo.
She told me she either wanted to date exclusively or not at all, so I decided to wachove her. Now I'll have to be more careful with these other girls.

Drinking so much alcohol that one vomits. Used especially in reference to people who are otherwise careful with health or following a strict diet.

An adjective or adverb that everyone pretends has a general purpose meaning, but in reality is only ever used to modify one word.
The only thing that can be "unrequited" is love. The only thing you can be "voracious" at is reading. The only thing that anyone is "flamboyantly" is gay. So, "unrequited," "voracious" and "flamboyantly" are all modifakers.

The absence of frequent flyer elite status, especially used in the case of people obsessed with frequent flyer status who have lost it.
Last year, I wouldn't have had to wait in this line, with my gold status advantages. Now, I'm flying aluminum class.

To attend a large gathering of people where mingling with strangers is encouraged (e.g., a party or bar) but converse only with the small handful of people one arrived with.
"Those parties are bullshit for meeting people. Everyone just shows up and semisocializes in their own little cliques."
"The guy throwing that party might be douchey, but let's go anyway. We can drink his booze and semisocialize."
