fashionably late 

Depending on the type/style of the event fashionably late can also range from 5 minutes (to a dinner date or a small gathering) to 45 minutes-1 hour (21st parties please note that there are also varying categories of 21st parties and discretionary judgement must be exercised). This time frame, or 'cushion', allows enough other people to have already arrived so that it is not only the birthday person and their parents in attendance and also conveys the possibility that you have come from a previous engagement (please refer to above definition).

1 hour late to a dinner party is socially unnacceptable and can protray an undesired tone of self importance however an hour late to a keg party is assumed and will be recognised as being fashionably late (again discretion must be employed to ensure that the beer will not be finished prior to your arrival).

Peter Frampton's Late Night Special 

When you are jerking-off late at night whilst listening to Peter Frampton's seminal live album "Frampton Comes Alive".

That extended talk-box solo in "Do You Feel Like We Do" really gets my rocks off when I'm taking in Peter Frampton's Late Night Special.

As of late 

A combination of two proper phrases, "As of today," and "Lately," meaning an event which recently happened or has been happening repeatedly. Current indifference to butchered English has made its use more popular than the correct phrases, elevating it to more innocuous than similar travesties "These ones" and "On accident."

Red Sox relief pitching has been terrible as of late.

you're too late, you'll never find 'em now 

A prominent phrase said by Swiper the Fox in almost every episode of the hit cartoon "Dora the Explorer". He steals the goods from Dora and Boots and says this.

Heh, heh, heh. You're toooo late, you'll never find your backpack now. {He then throws the backpack into bushes, then runs the opposite direction. I wonder what his motive is, I mean come on. And same thing with the grumpy old troll, who lives under the bridge.

Strategically Late 

The process of showing up too a dinner party late, not to be fashionable, but to wait until others are already there so you can strategically sit next to people you want to, and more importantly, away from those that you don't.

I dropped a deuce in my pants at the thought of spending two hours next to that fucking popinjay Cass D., so I made sure I came strategically late, to know where he was sitting and I sat at the other table.
