Definition: Residents which reside in a nursing home live in a false reality where they are a contestant on Jeopardy!. They proceed to ring their call bell all day because they think they know the answer. In fact, they don't need anything at all and deny ever ringing the bell to start with.
CNA: "This is the eighth time Jim rang his bell in an hour and did not need anything."
LPN: " He must have The Jeopardy Complex."
CNA: " Now he's trying to get out of bed, must have won the game."

Refers to da substitute-for-grumbling-at-a delay vocal action dat you engage in while unexpectedly/unavoidably having to wait for something basic or mundane to occur, such as for equipment to warm up, someone to answer da phone, a web-page to load on an internet-computer, etc. Great for when you're either babysitting children (for whom soft singing is often an effectively-calming/soothing way of "placating them for a few" till a desired action/event can happen) or presently have one or more adult-colleagues there who need certain actions and/or information-locating performed on their behalf, and so you are sympathetically showing them dat you hate having to be held up, as well, just da same as they do.
Everyone loves da catchy "Alex Trebek waiting for da contestants to think of an answer" melody, so performing a round of "Jeopardy!" theme humming-on-hold can work wonders to make everyone feel less grumpy/impatient at having to take a little longer than normal for something they want to happen.

What you do to remindingly indicate to someone dat you're patiently waiting for him to tell you an answer, finish up with something, etc.
You hafta be careful about employing da "Jeopardy!" theme humming-on-hold technique to gently pressure someone to get his a** in gear and be forthcoming with whatever action he's supposed to be doing for you --- some people really enjoy said catchy tune, and so your melodiously warbling it might actually SLOW HIM DOWN because he loves listening to it so much; heck, you might even PUT HIM TO SLEEP if you softly vocalize said soothing melody for too long a time! :P

This July 4th, 2011, on Jeopardy, Charlotte was smiling at me! She's a Jeopardy cutie! I also saw the 1953 20th Century Fox logo at the beginning!

When someone is telling an incredibly boring story but you can't stop them because you sparked the conversation.
Similar to the game show Jeopardy, where host Alex Trebek has to endure the painfully boring stories of the contestants.
