Burnt Popcorn Smell

The bitter, acerbic, caustic, mordacious, and just plain gross aroma that lingers in the enclosed airspace surrounding a poorly abused and neglected microwave—particularly repulsive in a shared office environment. An olfactory scarring, not soon to be forgotten, which will singe into the memory of all co-workers the dangers of an unsupervised bag both to kitchen appliances and to the productivity of an otherwise fully functioning office staff.
Alisa got distracted by a phenomenally interesting cubicle conversation and neglected her microwave snack. The office quickly filled with the dreaded burnt popcorn smell and she felt really bad about it, but we all had a jolly laugh, lit some candles, and decided to love her anyway.

Popcorn Movie

An infamously subjective term that refers to certain movies that don't carry much intellectual depth but packed with action, excitement, and enough appeal to a massive audience.
Perhaps the term originated from the 1994 film, "I'll Do Anything" has the scene where the movie producer says "I don't make movies that sell cappuccino in the lobby. I make popcorn movies."
Movie fan: Twister and Independence Day are without a doubt, popcorn movies. Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Jaws, however are not.

Average person: Ugh. WHAT?! You don't even know what that means!

elevator popcorn
