A metaphor that identifies the exact moment a TV show has reached its creative peak. Or to put it bluntly, it’s the beginning of the end of a once great show. The moment in which it becomes clear the writers are out of good ideas and the show has begun its decent downhill. It’s usually some ridiculous stunt, story line, major character change, or huge fundamental shift in the premise of the show that is viewed as nothing more than a desperate attempt to raise viewership and declining ratings. The phrase refers to an episode of the popular 1970’s sitcom Happy Days, in which one of the main characters is water skiing (while wearing his trademark leather motorcycle jacket mind you), and literally jumps over a shark.
As far as I’m concerned, America’s Next Top Model jumped the shark when Tyra chose that air-headed idiot Nicole as the winner, instead the much more talented and deserving Nik.

An action performed by the wing man, this situation arises when the said wing man takes one for the team by hitting on the fat/ugly chick in order to help his buddy/buddies score with her hot friends, and therefore, sacrifices himself by jumping onto the grenade.
The pin is said to be removed from the grenade when one man goes in alone, and the grenade prevents further interaction with the hot chick(s). Therefore, the jumping of the grenade must be performed immediately before all soldiers are blown to smithereens.

The hot chick's fat friend was successful in cock blocking me because by the time my wing man was jumping the grenade, his coverage was not sufficient enough to protect us from the explosion. Attempts in obtaining intel (phone number, email address, conversation, dancing, etc...) have been thwarted.

From the song "Stuart," by The Dead Milkmen:
Anyway, 10:30, the other night, I go out in my yard, and there's the Werzner kid, looking up in the tree. I say, "What are you looking for?" He says "I'm looking for my burrow owl." I say, "Jumpin' Jesus on a Pogo Stick! Everybody knows that a burrow owl lives in a hole in the ground! Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?"
