Originated from contemporary spoken Hebrew, it defines a situation where an agitated person, most probably with a splitting head-ache, hang-over or before his first morning cofee, is asking another to calm down, don't use verbose sentences, speak slower or not to overload his aching head with issues that requires listening, thinking or focusing.

This phrase, originating from a leading Israeli comedy show, is well curved in contemporary spoken language and it means (in a free translation): - "slow down your shutter, your "homing in" on me in an overloading manner".

Gesture-aware people most often accompany this phrase with an overdramatic facial expression of a person abrupting his 1-hour sleep after having an awful hang-over, by some woody-allen style geek who lightens up the room and asking him if he read about the new star names EL-12141 reently discovered in our solar system.
You have just broken up with your girlfriend, and you have a splitting headache after a long night of non-fruitful pick-up bar road-show, and you have just been awaken your MBA roomate who opens your room windows wide, turns on the music loudly, and tells you in a patronizing voice "look at you, I am going to take care of you. Do you want me to prepare you an organic Soya drink? and then, we can practice some Yoga, and then..."

You then bluntly, with a suffering voice, eyes half-shut,your right hand blocking the rude sunlight coming from the windows, looking at him and, right before falling asleep again, saying "Tsamtsem, ata lo ba-li-tov".

Overlaugh

When a person laughs too much or laughs too hard at something that is only marginally funny.
I didn't mean to overlaugh at his joke. But now my father won't stop with the dad jokes.

overlapping

Typically performed by someone who is not loyal. They will constantly move around looking for the 'next best thing'.

If you date an overlapper, you need to constant look over your shoulder. It doesn't matter how much you tell them that you love them, they will immediately and without warning start dating someone else. If they are a coward, they will break up with you and give you a completely different reason for the break up (e.g. they will lie and not admit they are breaking up because they found someone else). If they are particularly selfish, they will deny you had a relationship at all.
Steve: So I was just a victim of overlapping!
Joe: She did the same thing to me, why are you surprised? Every relationship of hers ends with overlapping.

Steve: But, I thought I was special.
Joe: Yeah, she makes everyone feel that way, until she flushes you down the toilet, and moves onto the next best thing.

Overland Park

Pretentious, shitty driver who pays extremely high taxes so they can have the most beautiful strip malls in the state. Irrelevant however because they only look at themselves all day oblivious to other people places and things. This is why they act entitled they haven't noticed they are just fucking Kansans that neighbor Gardner..? Come on ! Side note masturbation more popular than fornication. Terrible hair and awesome volvos
If this Overland Park doesn't move I'm gonna ram his Mercedes so he will look at something important
