recovery mode

An excuse for just about anything, basically means "I can do it, but not now".

Ideally to be in recovery mode means that one can't perform an action because they have already done it recently and are still "recovering" from it. Thought to be derived from the term people sometimes use to describe their state after an intense workout when they are supposedly weaker from straining themselves and can justify dismissing a challenge. Because "recovery mode" allows someone to excuse themselves from doing something and make it seem like this was because they do it so much, it is often used by egotistical smartasses and cocky jocks. However it can also be used in a completely irrelevant way, often to great comedic effect.

EXAMPLE 1:
guy1: "...no way you go to the gym. Look at you, so pinner!"
guy2: "If you think you're so strong, why don't we arm wrestle right now!"
guy1: "Nah, I'm in recovery mode"
guy2: "Sure, ever since the last time when I won!"

EXAMPLE 2:
teacher: "Marco, why was your essay incomplete?"
student: "I was in recovery mode"
teacher: "oh..."

Love Removal Machine

this is open to interpretation. It's the title of a 1987 hit by the band the Cult. My guess is that the singer is referring to his girlfriend. This is funny: we all know that people want to give love. And get it. But remove it? What the hell is going on here? The lyrics to this song are incredibly dumb. Still, I like this song a lot. It's so stupid it's cool. You can't help but like it. It's just one of those things. It's stupid fun ;)

When I walked out of the El Dorado casino and out to the Reno Strip I heard a radio blasting from a passing car. The song was Love Removal Machine by the Cult.

Friends once removed

When you used to be friends with someone, then you stopped being friends, but eventually became friends again.

Three months after the break up, I decided I wanted to be friends once removed with Ted.

Remote ADD

Someone with Remote ADD doesn't have an attention span that exceeds a commercial break. When watching the desired show and a commercial comes on, someone with Remote ADD will change the channel until he finds one without a commercial, later returning to the original channel.

Severe cases of Remote ADD will result in the inflicted person staying on the new channel until a commercial break, forgetting the original show.

Bob and Jim were watching Goldfinger and every commercial that came on, Bob would switch to ESPN hoping to catch SportsCenter. Unfortunately, there were usually commercials, so Bob went back to Goldfinger.

The continual Remote ADD without anything being on infuriated Jim.
