Reach for the Straws

A fallacy in which an individual in an argument makes a wild accusation based on little, often irrelevant evidence in a moment of panic.

Derived from the term ‘Reach’ and phrase ‘Grasping At Straws’, as well as being a play on the phrase ‘Reach for the Stars’

Irish Reach-around

Asking someone to return a favour that you haven't done for them yet. i.e. "Yes, I will dog-sit for you at some time probably. By the way, here's my dog. You have to look after her while I go on a mid-week trip to New York."

I can't believe Colin had the nerve to give me an Irish Reach-around. I have to look after his dog because he made a vague promise to look after mine in the future.

Eye-Reach-Around

The Eye-Reach-Around is an ocular manouver made by a guy trying to get a look at a women's buttocks. This is a tricky move because it requires a man to get a glimpse at an angle that is not obvious to the girl who knows she has a big ass. Also, you are generally speaking or facing the girl.

A boy and girl are talking and the guy or girl moves and the eyes look down and to the side and focuses where an illusion is created. The eye actually looks like it is reaching around.

This guy was talking to me and he made an Eye-Reach-Around to my ass.
