Airdrie Defence Syndrome

A syndrome where everyone thinks someone else will deal with something. The only known cure is personal ownership of a situation.

The expression comes from the renowned poor defence of a Scottish Football team, Airdrie.

chronic bitch dependency

An affliction making one dependent upon a woman who he is dating or married to. Symtoms include: inability to stand up for yourself, giving into to all her "bitching", crawling back to her after every argument, taking blame/apologizing even when you are not at fault.
A man is talking to his girlfriend on the phone.
She suspects he is not paying attention to her and is no longer willing to talk to him and hangs up.
The boyfriend, confused, insistently calls her back leaving apologetic messages on her machine as-well-as sends her gifts, fearing that if he doesn't she will leave him.

This man suffers from chronic bitch dependency.

Depends

Diapers for the elderly who have lost control of their bladder due to old age. (Can also be used figuratively to make fun of someone with a small bladder or someone who frequently wets their pants/bed.)
"My grandma told me to get her something useful for her birthday, so I got her an economy size package of Depends. She was thrilled."

"My algebra teacher is a bitch and wouldn't let me go to the bathroom more than once during class. I think I pissed my pants!"
"Girl, you gotta get yourself some Depends!"

Eichmann Defense

The claim that someone was "only doing their job" or "merely following orders" to excuse causing grief to someone else when they could have just as easily been helpful. Eichmann was the chief organizer of the Nazi 'final solution' to the 'Jewish question' and claimed (unsuccesfully) at his trial that he had only done what he had been ordered to do.
Car owner: I was only gone for two minutes, how could you tow my car?
Meter Maid: (smugly) I'm just doing my job.
Car Owner: Oh yes. The Eichmann Defense

Weasle line-manager: I stopped your merit award this year but I'm only following departmental guidelines.
Employee: Ah yes. The Eichmann defense.
