Jack Tripper Syndrome

A situation in which two or more parties believe to have a mutual understanding of the subject matter, but unknowingly are addressing two independent thoughts or conclusions.
Direct from Three's Company:

Mr. Furley is suffering from Jack Tripper Syndrome and is standing outside the bathroom and eavesdropping while Jack and Chrissy are installing a shower curtain.

Jack Tripper: Okay, Chrissy, I'll get in the tub with you, then we can get it on.
Chrissy: Get next to me, I'll show you what to do.
Jack Tripper: This isn't exactly the first time I've ever done this.
Chrissy: Maybe so, but girls are better at this than boys.
Jack Tripper: Come on, Chrissy. A little less talk and a little more action, okay?
Chrissy: Okay, you do your part and I'll do mine. I don't think it'll reach!
Jack Tripper: Of course not, you've got to unfold it first!

Jack wagon

n. Slang term derived from the Freight or Chow wagons used in the late 19th century. These were often the last wagons in a wagon train, making them the least favorable to drive due to the dust, waste, and debris from the front of the train.

When used as in insult it refers to one's lack of intelligence, implying the insultee is capable of no more than operating a Chow wagon.
You're doing it wrong, you Jack wagon!

Jack Chick

Sort of like Jerry Falwell, but Jack Chick writes comics. Common themes include Catholics, Muslims, and anyone who isn't Jack Chick going to hell. God is a reoccuring character in his comics, depicted as a giant guy with no face who sends people to hell nonstop.

Jack Chick Is anti-catholic, halloween, rock 'n roll, D and D, Muslim, Jew, evolution, and apparently satan. Canada is anti-Jack Chick.

Jack Chick's form of Christianity consists of not going to church, not doing good works, telling people they're going to hell, and believing in Jesus really, really hard.
Ben: Hey, you wanna go worship satan in Canada while listening to Rock 'n Roll on Halloween while playing D and D and practicing the Jewish faith?

Nick: Nah, Jack Chick said not to do that.

Jack-Smack

An open handed, back-hand slap to the temple. Not intended to knock someone out, but instead, to make someone appreciate your point of view in a forceful manner so they eventually agree with you. This is considered a more intimidating and more painful form of "Point Making" as opposed to the more traditional and less painful open hand cheek slap.
Jeff: Hey Greg, Jimmy owes me some money and I asked him to pay me and he laughed.

Greg: He laughed?

Jeff: Yes, he laughed!

Greg: You need to Jack-Smack him and let him know you are serious without knocking him out.
