circling over Shannon

expression, Irish English.

When an individual stalls for time in order to appear somewhat sober when in reality, they likely are far from sober.
Based on a diplomatic incident in Shannon, Ireland on September 30, 1994 where a heavily inebriated Boris Yeltsin circled over Shannon Airport for an hour on his aircraft, before landing and refusing to come off for a while before emerging, seemingly sober but only if you didn't look too closely.
"Ah, but surely we can go now. If we stall much longer, his da will think we're both circling over Shannon!"

Jizz-cicle

Jizz that hangs in an icicle form from someone's ceiling/face following a rather biblical unloading of man fat.

Can be turned into a sex game for the sporting among you.
Example 1:
'Hey man nice room....Err, what's with the Jizz-cicles?'
'Oh that. I just found out I've got an extra month until my dissertation is due in'
'Nice'

Example 2:
'Hey man I've been eating syrup today. I bet I can get a 5cm Jizz-cicle hanging from her face tonight'

Example 3:
'Hey did you just see Rihanna leave that toilet with Chris Brown?'
'Yeah. Too bad those Jizz-cicles can't hide her fat lip. Ha ha ha'

(The first two examples were more than enough. I just wanted to cuss-out Rihanna)
