IKEA wobble

(noun.) the characteristic wobble that's in every piece of furniture on display at IKEA, due to one or more of the following factors:
a) too many people sat on it/tested it out/touched it
b) it was assembled incorrectly
c) it's just bad quality (aka cheap) in general)
I assembled and re-assembled this table five times already and it still wobbles. It must be the IKEA wobble.

IKEA Daleks

IKEA Daleks is a fan-given term to the "improved" designs of the Dalek villains from the long-running British sci-fi TV show Doctor Who. Daleks are the arch-nemesis of The Doctor and his alien Time Lord race. In S5E3 the IKEA Daleks were introduced. They looked the same as the original Daleks but with colourful Dalekanium (alien metal).

They look like the result of Daleks procreating with Power Rangers.
David: You know, Chris, whenever I see one of those new colourful Daleks I imagine M&Ms shooting out of their appendages.
Chris: Haha, you mean those IKEA Daleks? They look like toys, don't they?
David: Yeah! They look like they're made from plastic instead of Dalekanium.
