Doing a Morrison

A range of tactics for dodging your responsibilities, including (but not limited to): going missing when the going gets tough; passing the buck; and talking your way out of a tight spot with an empty promise.

Australian slang. Inspired by Australia’s 30th Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

(NOTE: ‘Doing a Morrison’ is not to be confused with ‘Getting Morrisoned’, which usually involves you losing either your pre-selection (see Michael Towke), your job (see Christine Holgate), or your credit for a job well done (see nearly everyone else).)
Crew member 1: “The ship’s taking on water. We’re sinking. Where the bloody hell’s the captain?”
Crew member 2: “Oh, he’s already done a Morrison and racked off in a lifeboat.”

Barry: “How did you get your creditors off your back.”
Bruce: “Too easy. I told them the, ah, cheque was in the mail. Did a total Morrison.”

Delia: “Did you eat the last Tim Tam?”
Nev (wiping chocolate from his lips): “No. It must have been… the other guy.”
Delia: “What other guy? You’re doing a Morrison, aren’t you?”

“Yeah mate, it was piss easy, I just did a Morrison. Promised I’d always love her and she believed it and gave me the money.”

Jim Morrison Scream

A trademark of Jim Morrison. Heard in songs such as "Light My Fire" it is an absolute embodiment and representation of the legend. When performed correctly, the performer will take a deep breath, and then let out a very low, raspy, almost gasp-like shout that will sound like they've been a lifetime smoker. Popular among annoyances and pranksters, letting out a Jim Morrison scream during a family prayer without warning will guarentee a laugh 100% of the time.
My family and I were sitting down to eat our Thanksgiving turkey, and while we were praying, I just randomly let out a Jim Morrison scream, FUNNIEST SHIT EVER

Moitism

Originating from Hyderabad where they make good biryani. A young moit who looked like Shahrukh Khan used to nut on the biryani before it was served as his father could not afford salad cream. He would then tell the customers that it was the best salad cream in the world and could be used as steroids. People would not believe his outrageous and fabricated lies
Did he just say he banged Sam the Man?His moitism is going way too far!!!
