An otherwise-pointless and often repetitive action that stands in the way of what you are actually trying to accomplish. So named for a cat’s habit of sitting on your keyboard when you are trying to type, and continually returning when taken off of it.
I want to cook a nice meal for myself, but my roommate left her papers all over the kitchen counter again. I’m getting tired of constantly having to move the cat.

The act of covertly excusing yourself from a gathering, typically for a family celebration of some sort, where others try to use you as a free babysitter because "you don't have anything going on" or someone asks you to do something at work that's not in your job description.
Usual suspects are that one cousin who's a cheep skate and has notoriously bad behaving children, or the well meaning mother that talked another family member into "getting you used to kids" in hopes of having more grandchildren.
That one lazy co-worker who preys on the kindness of others to get their work done for them. You know who you are.

"John, can you watch Sarah and Tom for a few hours while Jennifer and I go out to dinner?"
"Let me get back to you on that."
*spook move out the back door 10 minutes later*
Later phone call from John, "Hey I missed you leaving, so what do you say?"
"I just got *insert excuse*, sorry."

Having "moved a spider" or "moved the spider" refers to a group of 4 people in a circle jerk using only their feet. The 8 feet make the "spider". When someone "moves the spider" they have successfully caused their person to nut. A new person switches in, slightly changing the geometry of the circle. By this mechanism, the spider can move its way across the room, depending on how many people are waiting to jump in when it moves.
My size 14's really "moved the spider" last night at the frat party. I've never been so drunk or so good with my feet before. Maybe I should drop my econ major and go into ballet, bro.

Opposite of a Dick move. Doing something nice to others with pure intentions. When someone does something that makes you want to pat their head and say "Good boy".
- "That guy just gave me part of his sandwich because I didn't have any food."
- "Wow, what a good boy move."
- "Wow, what a good boy move."

John McEnroe would throw the biggest tantrums in the world of tennis. They were amazing to watch. They would evolve and grow like fine wine. He was the master and inventor if the McEnroe Move.
Gina pulled a McEnroe Move when she didn't get the big promotion. She started throwing things around her office.
Johnson didn't agree with the unsportsmanlike conduct call and spit at the referee. Total McEnroe Move.
