closed loop relationship

An intimate relationship of common understanding and agreement among three individuals, usually where two persons are married or similarly bound; where individuals may be heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual; and, where all individuals remain faithful and exclusive to each other.

Unlike a ménage à trois, a closed loop relationship ("clr") is typically a long-term relationship that involves a third individual as a functioning, participating partner. Also unlike a ménage à trois, intimacy is not the sole motivation and serves as complement to the relationship. Individuals in a clr may live together, though this is not typical. At the fringes of a clr is the situation where one participant is a committed participant in another relationship, such as being married.

The Giggle Loop

The exponentially irresistible urge to laugh and giggle in inappropriate situations, such as when asked to take a moment of silence in honor of someone or something, or a solemn ceremony like a wedding or funeral.
The harder one resists the urge to laugh, the funnier the idea of what would have happened HAD you laughed becomes, resulting in an even stronger urge to laugh.

Coined by the British sitcom "Coupling".

"To know of the giggle loop is to become part of the giggle loop!"

bye loop

What happens when, on the phone or instant messenger, someone needs to go (or fakes needing to go to end the conversation) and says "bye" (or a variant, or an IM shortening of it like 'cya').
The other participent says "bye"--or something-- The original person says "bye"/whatever again, and the other one responds. This can go on for minutes or longer until someone--or their parent--puts their foot down.

ExampleScreenName1: well i g2g
ExampleScreenName1: cya
SampleSNperson8: cya
ExampleScreenName1: bye
SampleSNperson8: call you later
ExampleScreenName1: l8r
SampleSNperson8: yea, cya

SampleSNperson8: bye~~~
ExampleScreenName1: OK I HAVE TO GO NOW!!! PARENTS!!! GAH! BYE!

fruit loop

I've always used fruit loop to describe someone who was a bit dippy or loopy, in the mad, scatter-brained sense.

I can't believe you just said that, you fruit loop!
