jump cringe

Like a jump scare, except cringeworthy instead of scary.

When you think something (e.g. a movie or tv show) is alright until you get hit by a sudden, unexpected wave of cringe.

Also known as jumpcringe.

I was watching "The Mitchells vs. the Machines" yesterday and just when I thought the movie was getting better, they hit me with a jump cringe. Those unfunny jokes ruin the moment and give me secondhand embarrassment.

Jump Force

The Sonic '06 of arena fighting games. Choppy gameplay, lots of loading screens, terrible animation, big empty hub world, and to top it off you get a terrible story mode. It is a laughably unfinished game that was just made as an easy cash grab for your classic weeb.

"Jump Force would've been pretty good if it was more focused on quality rather than quantity."

AC Jump

1. An inappropriately large jump in weight between attempts in a powerlifting competition.

2. Any situation, sports or otherwise, where a person attempts to accomplish something far beyond their previous best effort.

Boy: Daddy, that big hairy man in a swimsuit just PR'd at 533.5. And he called for 570 for his final lift! That's a crazy jump.

Dad: No, son, that's an AC Jump.

jump the gun

to do something too soon, especially without thinking carefully about it (Originally used in sports contests that are started by firing a gun. If someone running in a race jumps the gun, they start running before the gun has been fired to start the race.)

He shouted at me before I had time to explain, but later he apologised for jumping the gun (jump the gun).

jump-the-shark

The beginning of the end. Something is said to have "jumped the shark" when it has reached its peak and begun a downhill slide to mediocrity or oblivion. It's said to have been coined by Jon Hein, who has a web site, jumptheshark.com, and now a book detailing examples, especially as applied to TV shows. It supposedly refers to an episode of the TV show "Happy Days" in which Fonzie jumps over a shark on water skis, which Hein believes was the point at which the series had lost its touch and was beginning to grasp at straws.

A TV show's sure "jump-the-shark" sign: the appearance of a "special guest star".

Grab two beers and jump

Something to do when some douchebag pisses you off on an airplane

Yo dude, I was flying this plane yesterday until at 30,000 ft, this douchebag pissed all over my Michael Strahan poster, so I had to grab two beers and jump.
