taking the option

When you have an obligation to be somewhere, but decide you would rather not and go do something else instead, like go hang out with friends or go home and sleep. This alternate action is almost certainly frowned upon by the coach/authority figure and by those who are truly committed to the activity.
"Going to football today?"
"No man. I'm taking the option and going to dairy Queen instead. Wanna come?"

"No one is here today? What the hell?"
"Everyone took the option instead."
"Well that's lame."

Hand-Talking

While talking, moving (or flailing) your hands around as they either help you to talk, or help make a point.
Sometimes a person will not be able to talk unless they are using their hands. To prove this, while they're are talking- hold their hands down. They will shut up if they are inclined to 'hand talk'.

(Seems to be originated mainly from Italians, though not limited to them.)
Person 1: (dodges from being slapped) "Hey! Watch where you're throwing your hands! You nearly hit me!"
Person 2: "Sorry, I can't help it.. I was hand-talking"

Person A: "Why must you talk with your hands? You know they can't see you thru the phone, right?
Person B: "I know, I just can't help but hand-talk."
