jump the shark

A very stupid saying. You don't need to know what it means because whoever said it to you isn't worth listening to. The phrase was popular from October 2004 to January 2005. But now it's just stupid. The person who said it is probably a very insecure teenager (or a VERRRY insecure 20-something) who is just trying to sound cool.

Next time someone utters the phrase "jump the shark", take him/her by the hand and say gently, "It's ok, you don't have to try to act cool. No one's watching."

jump the shark

An oblivious moment in one's past, where there is verification of an un recollected event or phrase's existence via a credible third party confirmation or certified documentation, in which you have never heard of said event or phrase ever being used, therefore begin to believe that you were a cloned human whose implanted memories are false and are beginning to unravel an evil conspiracy to farm out your organs to rich movie stars.

I totally jumped the shark when saying "jump the shark" was popular, making me think that you made that phrase up just to irk me, because you're mad that I'm not as old as you are and you want to mess with my head.
