phone interview

Like a regular job interview, but conducted over the phone. Usually used by big companies such as Google to weed out first, second, and sometimes third round applicants before an actual onsite interview. Typically conducted on the toilet, on the floor, or at a small, lonely desk with a little lamp, and with much apprehension. Given the lack of visual feedback between applicant and interviewer, phone interviews typically lead to many awkward pauses, interruptions, and unfinished sentences.
a typical phone interview:

*ring ring ring*

Hello?
Hello?
Hi!
This is ...
Hi!
Chad, from Goo...
Hi Chad!
...gle.

Microwave Intuition

To pop something in the microwave, and then leave. Then to suddenly drift back towards the microwave just in time to when it hits 0. Basically, to be able to tell when your food is done, just by your intuition.

Canadian Interception

When one is already pooping on the toilet and a second party poops between their legs.
Joe had to poop but Megan was already pooping. With it being the only toilet, Joe went for the Canadian Interception to avoid a lengthy clean-up.

quasi- intellectual

A person who is sort of intelligent- literal word meaning.

Could be easily confused with pseudo- intellectual or intelligence, which is someone who acts like they know a lot when actually they know very little or nothing at all . Much like tree pipers definition for quasi intellectual. A pseudo intellectual could very likely be quasi intelligent.
Ex. brian is great at thinking deep and has some great ideas but he can't defend his arguements if people get into the details (facts, science, other logic, etc). Brian is a quasi- intellectual.

Do something bad to someone without them knowing and laugh behind their back. Twitter complaining about him now.
The Angry (@NY_Wiseass): Michael Jackson was an asshole in “Remember the Time”
Kar L. Stine (@karyewest): Michael Jackson was an asshole in a lot of his videos. He’d step into the scene, flirt with a mans girl, cause chaos then hehe into the wind.
