Pet the Shark

Share definition
"Petting the shark" refers to giving a woman a hand-job. This is due to the fact that at most aquarium shark petting tanks, they require you to pet a shark with the first and middle finger, the same two fingers used to finger your girlfriend.

Side Note: A woman's vagina also closely resembles that of a sharks brain, doubling the connotation.
Yeah, I'm totally about to pet the shark.

Original meaning was the point when a television series shows it has run out of ideas and must resort to stunts to retain viewer interest. Derived from a scene in the last years of Happy Days when the Fonz waterskied over a shark. Includes actions such as "it was all a dream" episodes, live episodes, lead actors playing guest characters, and putting entire cast into a parody of some pop cultural event.
It looks like "Will and Grace" decided to jump the shark. They are doing a live episode in black and white where they are all characters from Star Wars. Elton John will play Jabba the Hut who shoots Jack with a "straight ray" gun.

The Shark

The Shark is the nickname for Washington Nationals outfielder Roger Bernadina. He relentlessly patrols the outfield and attacks every fly ball in his direction. After making a spectacular play or hitting a home run, he puts his hand on top of his head, representing the dorsal fin.
Fan 1: Did you see The Shark last night?
Fan 2: 2 for 5 with a game tying home run in the ninth! Yeah, Roger is the man!
Fan 1: Yeah, he will easily win MVP this year.
Fan 2: Most Vicious Predator!

Jumping the Shark

The term is actually "jumping the SHARK" referring to the painful last episodes of Happy days in which arthru fonzerelli aka 'the fonze" jumps over sharks on water skis while simultaneously wearing his trademark leather jacket. Jumping the shark occurs when a show has hit and alltime low and has to do something drastic and crazy to maintain its viewers and keep them interested.
Example- Hey did you hear that Sean and Christian are moving troy/ macnamara to LA for the new season of Nip/tuck? Wow I hope there not jumping the shark with that one.
