From neurolinguistics. It describes any phrase which can be used to demonstrate how the brain selectively re-interprets nonsensical language when delivered with a false context. The original social experiment involved walking up to a stranger and initiating a conversation. Then once they were on verbal auto-pilot, delivering the statement as the first half of a conjunctive pair along with a misleading cue.
eg;
You: Excuse me, do you know the way to the library?
Stranger: Yes it's just up that street there.
You: Is it far? I have to meet my Sister at two o'clock.
Stranger: Umm, no. About half a mile.
You: (glancing at bare wrist) Arcing jet of semen? It's just I don't have a watch.
Stranger: Yes, it's just after one-thirty.
It's possible to use this technique to drop practically anything into a conversation without it being consciously registered by the other party. The etymology nods to British comedian Stephen Fry who often used it as an inside joke for his friends.

Mike -- Dude. You are NEVER going to believe what happened last night!
Chuck -- What happened, man?
Mike -- Do you remember....Tracy? I woke up to her GETTING NAKED AND JUMPING IN MY BED.
Steve -- No way! Way to drop a crunch on us, man!

When returning from a concert or sporting event, you drop onto your bed or couch from pure exhaustion late in the light or early in the morning.
Bitch: Dude, last night you scared the shit out of me!
Mike: Wha'd I do?
Bitch: Know how you went to see Sublime last night, well you came in and missed the concert drop on the couch.

Laying around the house in a turkey-induced coma that affects most adults after indulging in a Thanksgiving Day feast.
I wanted to watch the Lions play football but there's turkey droppings all over the TV room...i can't find a seat.
