Jump the pot

A petty crime that occurs frequently at a shared coffeemaker. Someone comes in and pulls the coffee pot out of the drip stream and catches a cupful for himself or herself, then replaces the pot and walks off letting the pot continue to fill. This is jumping the pot and it either signals a low IQ or a psychopathic disregard for other people. How smart does one have to be to realize that coffee running through a drip filter comes through strong at first and weak at the finish? Interrupting this flow either early or late queers the pot for everyone else by producing a final brew that is either stronger than desired or pathetically weak. It’s simple physics, not beyond the intelligence of your average coffee drinker. So it must be the case that pot-jumpers are simply moral scum. (The one exception would be if you were able to jump the pot exactly in the middle range of flavoring. Then, arguably, the two interrupted halves would blend to form the desired brew. However, my extensive observations of pot-jumpers, who drift in to the coffee station from important meetings about empathy, social justice, and the perils of microaggressions – I work at a non-profit – tells me that even the practice of waiting for a point near the middle of the process is universally rejected by even the most socially-conscious jumpers.)

Synonym: Potus Interruptus

Sign at the coffee station: PLEASE, DON’T JUMP THE POT.

Possible uses: “Hey dude, I’ve been waiting here for ten minutes for coffee and you waltz in and jump the pot.”

“Arg, this coffee tastes like shit. Someone’s been jumping the pot.

jump the broom

Common-law marriage. It consists of two respected friends or relatives holding the ends of a broom about 4 inches from the ground. The happy couple jump together while holding hands. Some traditions are - if the broom is held knee-high, maybe you should re-consider because it'll be a difficult or an impossible jump. If you jump in unison, it's good luck and means much happiness. You'll always have two people praying for you two. It's free. Ya might be intoxicated when your Partner suggests it. Divorce is free and easy....It's a Black thing. An old slave tradition among the gullah-geechee islands in coastal Georgia and South Carolina.

#1 "My Lady's so crazy, we had to jump a mop because the broom was yellow. See, she hates yellow..."

#2 "Her Auntee and her Daughter held the broom like one inch from the floor. We landed in step and that was eight yrs. ago."

#3 "Dude, you might as well go jump the broom!"

"jumping the shark"

(revival)
The scene was so preposterous that many believed it to be an ill-advised attempt at reviving the declining ratings of the flagging show... since then, it has become a metaphor that has been used by U.S. TV critics and fans to denote the point at which the characters or plot of a TV series veer into a ridiculous, out-of-the-ordinary storyline.

The term Jumping the shark alludes to a scene in the TV series Happy Days when the popular character Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli, on water skis, literally jumps over a shark.

A phase in a relationship to rekindle romance after a betrayal or tort action.

My boyfriend has been going so overboard on the gifts and little extras since I caught him with that other girl, every time we go out it is like "jumping the shark".

jumping the whale

An expression used by people too stunned to remember it's supposed to be "jumping/jumped the shark" and too lame to realize that that phrase has, in fact, jumped the shark.

"I think that series is really jumping the whale," said the loser, which brought only stunned looks from the rest of his buddies at the debating club.
