American Idle

When someone sits idling at a green light while singing along to their radio. Originally coined by Buster-Ass Marcus of the Donkey Show in Eugene, OR.
"Oh man! I was so into that song, I just American Idled everyone behind me for 3 lights!"

idle bet

A bet made wherein both involved parties realize that the other side does not intend to carry out their end of the bet due to the (most likely) ludicrous circumstances outlined in terms of the wager.

Sometimes though, for making such a bet, the loser has to do something small for the winner... just for making a stupid bet.
'Dude, look at that girl'
'Damn she's hot. Too hot for you.'
'Whatever, I bet you I can get in her pants by the end of the month'

a month later
'where's my $20?'
'Dude, it was an idle bet, you know that!'
'Yeah, you're right. Kiss my ring.'
'What?'
'Kiss my ring. Or the $20, either one'
'agh...'

Facebook Idling

1. having given up on finding anything interesting on Facebook, Facebook Idling involves sitting in front of the Facebook Newsfeed, just waiting for another update that you know won't be any more interesting than the last

2. as opposed to Facebook Stalking, a much more far-reaching and comprehensive way of wasting your entire life
Person A: "You must be Facebook Stalking hard right now man; you're not even clicking the mouse!"
Person B: "Actually, I'm Facebook Idling. I need to know what all my acquaintances are doing rather than just investigating one."

Person A: "Dude, are you Facebook Stalking that girl again?"
Person B: "Nah, I've got enough info on her. Now I'm just Facebook Idling, waiting for her to post something."

Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration

"If you leave your vehicle's engine running during a delay in proceeding (traffic-jam, road construction, accident-resolution, "stuck" red signal-light, etc.), you will be sitting there for many minutes, just wasting gas. The instant you turn the key off and climb out of your seat to stretch, however, THAT'S when the line of traffic will begin moving again, and thus you will have shut off your engine "for nothing", AND you will now be holding up everyone behind you while you hastily hop back into the driver's seat and re-start the engine so that you can move forward again."
I finally took da plunge and bought a second-hand Toyota Prius because I'd eventually had one too many cases of Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration... the Prius automatically shuts down its power during stand-stills, and then uses its electric motor to provide instant mobility as soon as you're ready to go again.

Idle animation

The occasionally weird movements a video game character does when they're not doing anything.
I never pay attention to my character's idle animation, but when I do, I always notice it's kinda weird.
