long dark teatime of the soul 

A sensation of an emotional void and pointlessness filling a Sunday afternoon, and the sensation of the impending Monday.
Coined by Douglas Adams in his 1982 book "Life, the Universe and Everything", and serving as the title for another of his books in 1988.
Synonymous with The Glenroes, and when exacerbated by a hangover - with the Sunday Scaries.
"In the end, it was the Sunday afternoons he couldn't cope with, and that terrible listlessness which starts to set in at about 2:55, when you know that you've had all the baths you can usefully have that day, that however hard you stare at any given paragraph in the papers you will never actually read it, or use the revolutionary new pruning technique it describes, and that as you stare at the clock the hands will move relentlessly on to four o'clock, and you will enter the long dark teatime of the soul."

- Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe, and Everything.

theatre geek

One who fills two requirements:
1. Participates in plays and musicals, either by acting, stage managing, joining tech crew or doing other technical work.
2. Enjoys the viewing and reading of plays and musicals.

This is not to be confused with a theatre snob, who only fills the second requirement.
That theatre geek tried out for The Crucible after he had seen it twice.

Empty Threat 

When someone will go and say a consequence for someone's actions, sometimes making it sound realistic sometimes not so much, but none the less there is no intention on following up with those consequences.
"I swear I will leave you Henry after 15 years of marriage if you don't stop drinking"

"yea right, you and your empty threats"

Musical Theatre 

(n): myu-sih-kil thee-ter A form of theatre incorporating singing and dancing in addition to acting. It is often criticized for having characters break out into song and dance in the middle of an intense moment. Males who participate in it are also the butt of many a homosexual joke. The creators of such jokes tend to be jocks whose girlfriends made out with the leads in school musicals onstage in front of over one thousand people while they just sat squirming in their seats wishing they were the one up there.
Jock: Hey, faggot, I hear you do Musical Theatre, want to go to skip practice and get your nails painted?

Thespian: Sorry, I can't skip today, I need to work on the kissing scene with your girlfriend. Why don't you go wrestle some sweaty half naked men?
