the excellent lizard

verb: (to give someone the "excellent lizard"): to suddenly discontinue a conversation, especially a phone conversation. Usually for a perfectly good reason, but also, less commonly, because one does not want to continue speaking with the person on the other end of the call.
Origin: OMG, an excellent lizard just ran by. I have to run get my camera. I'll call you back. (True.)

(Out of the blue in a conversation that to this point has been casual and relaxed) "Hey, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to give you the excellent lizard. A cop just pulled me over."

excellent

NOT so excellent when said sarcastically. Used in a derogatory manner to mean exactly the opposite of its true meaning. Said when a complete SNAFU occurs and usually inflected upwards at the end so that instead of saying the "EX" with more force, you gradually increase the pitch and distress in your voice as you follow through the word. Delivery of "excellent" is an art form mastered by the most sarcastic individuals who have experienced far too many fuck-ups. A cluster fuck expression.
