Austin Powers-ing

An extremely frustrating situation in which a vehicle is boxed-in so tightly that its driver becomes stuck perpetually switching between forward and reverse to set it free.

Stems from the pained efforts of the eponymous Austin Powers in the movie "International Man of Mystery".

Boss: "What sort of time do you call this, you left for your lunch break almost two weeks ago"

Worker: "I'm sorry sir I got stuck Austin Powers-ing in the Tesco car park; I've been hit with 17 different fines and now they're repossessing my house"

Boss: "Lmao damn son"

Austin Powered

To get a vehicle stuck in such a way that is similar to that of Austin Powers in his first movie when he gets the cart wedged in the hallway. Can also be used in reference to being stuck in a tough situation.

Man, you really Austin Powered your way into this situation.

As in the Mike Myer's film "Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery," Dr. Evil's outrageous plot is to control the world,

Austinpowerism

putting things in the foreground of a movie to keep us from seeing the family jewels

Austinpowerism, which translates (Wikipedia does not explain) as "putting things in the foreground to keep us from seeing the family jewels." Grendel arrives on schedule to tear down the mead hall, and there is a mighty battle which is rendered in gory and gruesome detail, right down to cleaved skulls and severed limbs.
