Talking ducks

A term to indicate someone's questioning of the validity of one aspect in a fictional story is in fact overshadowed by the absurdity of the story's basic premise.

A phrase first coined when one person loudly wondered how the ducks in a Donald Duck story managed to breathe under water without any visible breathing apparatus on their diving suit, and another replied "You know you're reading a story about talking ducks, right?"
Seb: "So how did they hide a physical object in a mirror's reflection in the first Harry Potter?"

Gordon: "Dude. Talking ducks."

Taking A Nesselrodt

The act of deficating while on the clock at work. The extreme Nesselrodter will think nothing of entering the building in the morning, clocking in, and immediately hitting the bathroom. The longer you take the better as no Nesselrodt should last less than 30 minutes. A skilled Nesselrodter can expect to earn about 15% - 20% of his yearly pay while seated comfortably on the throne.
Man that food I ate for lunch didn't agree with me...I'll be taking a Nesselrodt if you need me.

I made $10,000 last year just Taking A Nesselrodt.
