Get the hot dog impressionmug. A degenerate bonding ritual where one friend slaps the other full across the face—hard enough to knock the dignity loose—and growls, “Do your best mongoose impression.” The victim, now trembling and shame-charged, contorts their body like a hairless ferret having a nervous breakdown in a sock drawer. Bonus points if they hiss, writhe, or emit a sound somewhere between a squeal and a suppressed moan.
Usually carries a deeply uncomfortable sexual undertone—like someone dared Gollum to seduce a Subway sandwich artist. Equal parts frail, twitchy, and submissively eager, the mongoose impression is less of an act and more of a descent into greased-up, wide-eyed desperation.

"We're at Olive Garden, right?

Ken got accepted into medical school not because he cares about people or has a genuine curiosity for human health, but because he has mastered the skill of BSing to be impressing, and thus was able to trick the admissions committee into thinking that he will make a good doctor. Really, he just wants money, recognition, and accolades. Once he begins practicing as an MD, he will absolutely let poor, minority, and/or female patients die.
