conservation of greatness

Usually used in sports related situations (but also applicable to all life situations), conservation of greatness describes a situation where a person has just done something earth shatteringly amazing, and then immediately proceeds to attempt another amazing action. The second action has 1% chance of doubling the glory, and a 99% chance of failure, which includes a 50% chance of making the person look like an absolute fool.

Popularly used in the game of ultimate frisbee, but possibly originating elsewhere.

'Conservation of greatness' is rarely used as part of a statement, but instead is the entire statement, said after witnessing the the failed follow up action.

Said with great joy when an opposing team fails to compensate for conservation of greatness, but with utter frustration when your own team mate has just made a fool of himself.

"Oh, don't worry about it."

conversational rape 

A forced conversation with a person who is obviously not interested in talking to you; talking to a person who is trying to read or study, stopping a person in the hall who was avoiding eye contact with you, and seeking a person out for a pointless conversation are all conversational rape.

"I was trying to do my homework and she just kept talking about her vitamins. it was awful. the worst conversational rape i've ever been through."

total conversion 

A total conversion when used with respect to video games, is a type of mod that alters the game to such a degree that it either no longer, or very loosely resembles the original game.

Because "Counter Strike" was created as a total conversion of "Half Life", the gameplay is completely different.
