invisible conversationalism

when you are talking to someone who is behind you while walking and they stop, turn a corner, turn around, start talking to someone else, etc. without your knowing. you keep on walking and talking to them even though they aren't there, resulting in stares and strange looks.

I walked down the hallway of my school one monday telling my friend how my weekend was when she turned into the library without my knowing; I was still talking. I was at the end of the hallway when I realized she wasn't there, it was then that I figured out why everyone was giving me funny looks. -Invisible Conversationalism-

invisible hand

From Adam Smith's 1776 The Wealth of Nations, referring to the uncoordinated ("invisible") private incentives in a free society, which direct resources to their highest valued use, leading people to voluntarily produce the goods and services that other people need.

Alternately, a hand job performed in public, but concealed by a strategically placed garment.

No need to have a Supreme Soviet planning commitee enslave me and tell me how many shoes to produce, the invisible hand of the free market will coordinate production!

Or:

I put my jacket on my lap, and she gave me some invisible hand right there during the concert.

invisible beef

Invisible beef is when someone or a group of people privately claim to dislike you for reasons unknown. It's when that person goes around talking negatively about you behind your back, informing everyone except you that there is a "problem". when a bitter childish person likes to make bad choices and then point their fingers in blame because you never attended their pityy part.

Invisible Pink Unicorn

A supernatural creature whose existence can not be demonstrated, but for which certain facts are nevertheless asserted (if it's invisible, how do you know it's pink?).

Apparently orginating on the alt.athiest usenet group as a way to either argue the existence of God with non-athiests without getting personal, or mock them relentlessly. Sometimes shortened to IPU.

We know the Invisible Pink Unicorn exists, because no matter how hard hard we look we can't see her.

you write your life in indelible ink

(phrase apocryphally attributed to Gandhi) , meaning 'you can't go back in time and correct the mistakes you have made; if you have made a mistake in the past you have no choice but live with the consequences and move forward.

son: I didn't get the grades in math, chemistry and physics that i wanted. Now the MIT won't accept me. Is there anything I can do?

father: no. there is nothing you can do. All you can do however, is learn by heart, and apply to your future, Gandhi's famous phrase 'you write you write your life in indelible ink'. What you can do is go study history or some other social science discipline at Columbia University

invisible grapefruit clutch

A heavy-metal hand gesture, in which the subject holds out their hand(s), palm up, fingers broadly curled inward, as if clutching an invisible grapefruit, or an orb of majestic evil power (still invisible).

When the throwing of horns got co-opted by the widespread public to the point where they were often seen from Jonas Brothers fans, Lord Blaspherion G. McSatan decided to adopt a more metal-centric hand gesture: the invisible grapefruit clutch.
