soap opera

Some signs that you're watching a soap opera:

-You're watching it between the hours of 10 AM and 2 PM.

-It looks like it was shot on a camcorder.

-The acting is extremely melodramatic and over-the-top.

-The quality of the writing makes you realize, "Hey, maybe the second season of Heroes wasn't so bad after all."

-The cast was picked solely for their looks, not because they have any real acting talent (which they usually don't).

-Somebody just came back from the dead in a totally unbelievable manner.

-Everybody is related to one another in some convoluted fashion.

-Everybody is having sex with one another, even if they're related (and don't know it).

-Are years of backstory getting in the way of the show's ever-more-outrageous plotlines? No problem. Just retcon it all away.

Soap operas only exists to give work to the actors, writers and directors who couldn't make it on primetime television, and to give stay-at-home soccer moms something to do during the day.

Copy Machine Operation

Similar to the Milton Bradley game Operation, however this version is more hightech and played with your office copy machine when paper gets jammed in the hot copy machine.

The object of this game is to extract said paper or papers without getting a third degree burn on fingers, wrist, arms, etc.

Kristi is celebrating her second victory of copy machine operation.

special military operation

An Invasion. Especially one conducted by an authoritarian regime.

This isn’t an Invasion of the sovereign nation of Ukraine. It is a Special Military Operation.
