Heath Robinson

Adj: An invention, machine or process that is makeshift, fragile, poorly engineered or overly elaborate.

William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) was a British Cartoonist well known for humourous illustrations of fantasical inventions involving large numbers of components, often in order to acheive a very simple purpose.
Eg) "My new customised mousetrap, made from the contents of a kitchen cupboard, string, sticky tape and old lawnmower parts was finally complete. It did look a bit Heath Robinson, but it might just work."

Red Robin Girl

A girl, generally a young adolescent, who will go to a public place. The girl, having limited social activity without parental supervision, will treat the excursion like an adventure, acting in ways that may seem funny to her group, yet annoying to other patrons of the establishment. The girl will generally also take pictures, both to remember the experience and prove to her friends that she actually, in fact, did go out without parents. And to put them on the myspace. You can't forget the Myspace.
Look at those Red Robin girls. This must be their first time allowed out without parents. I wonder what time the minivan will be there to pick them up. Let's drive over to the movie theatre and see that R-rated movie.

Bruce Willis is a robot

A joke referring to the end of a movie. Used when you do not want to give away any spoilers. The phrase began with the movie The Sixth Sense. Useful for describing the end of any movie, whether Bruce Willis stars in it or not.
I went to see a great movie the other day. The ending was great. So it turns out that Bruce Willis is a robot.
