Huffaloaf
Huffing bread, best done when the bread is freshly baked and still warm. The most common technique is to bag the bread, seal the opening of the bag around the face in the same fashion as a horse's feed bag, and take long slow inhales to enjoy the bready bouquet.

Autoirontic
When someone is amused at how they're being cleverly ironic, but no one else gets it. Almost always triggered by significant alcohol consumption, when the imbiber becomes convinced they're cross-channeling Socrates and Robin Williams. Some unfortunate souls have been known to suffer from this condition permanently - avoid making eye contact with these people.

"Do we have to invite Joe to go out drinking with us? Two cocktails and he gets autoirontic, and I'm tired of having to put up him thinking he's being funny and insightful - it's embarrassing"
