Lateral Deprecation 

When somebody puts their owns looks, intelligence, talent, situation, etc down while someone else close to them has it worse than them. Can also be called diagonal deprecation. For example, if a person says “I’m so stupid” with a 4.0 GPA, it’s kinda rude when your friend has a 3.7.

Tom: “God I’m such an idiot. A 97 in math.”

Fred: “I got an 87.” :(

Fred’s head: “Does he know about lateral deprecation?”

Lateral Copy 

Sharing an article from the Internet while bypassing a paywall.
If you are a member and receive an interesting article, but your friend cannot read it because they are not a member, what do you do? You copy the article “by hand”, put it back together nicely and send it to the friend. This is a lateral copy.

Another great article that J. will be interested in. But the link is useless to him: he's not a member. I'll have to make him a lateral copy again.

2. In the sport of American Football, successful lateral transfer of the football from one offensive player to another player with a near fumble.
3. Positioning of the human body for surgical access to the lateral ankle. Approximately 5-10 degrees from the lateral decubitus position with a pillow or bean-bag for support and concentric circles of tape to fix the body to the operating table.

1. After rolling over to request sexual relations with a partner: "If your drunk-ass doesn't get on top tonight, I'm not doing the Sloppy-Lateral anymore."
2. Announcer: "That was a Sloppy-Lateral in the backfield there Gene, really just lucky the ball wasn't fumbled."
3. Surgeon: "If we can't find the prone pillow, just forget about it. We're going Sloppy-Lateral."

Guy #2 - "Naw man, I started talking to another girl in front of her and she got pissed off."
Guy #1 - "Hard break. That's some hoe-lateral damage."
