Grilling Ham

Grilling Ham (noun): A clever tactic to avoid work or ignore a call. Originally based on the idea that someone was “too busy grilling ham” to respond, it now refers to any exaggerated excuse for getting out of something.

Sorry, boss, I can’t join the Zoom call—I’m in the middle of grilling ham.
or

Mike called—he's going to be late, busy grilling ham.

Turned into a grilling rod

Being in a harsh rear-end collision while driving a VW Beetle (or any other rear-engine car with no airbags) and having the steering column skewer the driver. The air-cooled engine catches fire, essentially turning the driver into a grilling rod on top of a campfire.

Do you think I should buy an old Beetle?

Definitely not! One crash with a F-150 and you'll be turned into a grilling rod.
