do a Moby

When you have produced something original (music, an invention, whatever), to make a fortune by lisencing (NOT selling, see below) the rights to it to a big company that can bring it to the masses. Differs from being a sell out, as you still own the rights, so the big co. can't force you to go mainstream to make them even more money.
Originated when the electronica artist Moby sold the copywrites to every track on the album "Play", for use in ads, films, and TV.
James Dyson demonstrated how to do a moby when he came up with that uberhoover.

doing a pitfield

committing an act, so ridiculous you couldn't make it up such as crashing your car at 1mph, taking two left shoes on holiday with you, wearing two odd shoes to work, adding 24 minutes 41 seconds and 24 minutes 20 seconds and coming up with 48 minutes 61 seconds.

any act of foolishness that you'd be embarrassed to see happen to a monkey. or a dog.

doing harakiri

the act of committing suicide (using any method except the real harakiri, the actual Japanese ritual form of suicide by disembowelment often used historically by the samurai).
son: why are so many people nowadays doing harakiri?

father: Adrian, why people commit such acts is probably because they can't find life's meaning in any setting, religious or secular. However, you can always pull the roasted chestnuts out of the fire. Don't burn your bridges is the sole piece of advice I would give these people.
