Get the Poppy Shlumping mug.In the movie industry, when a mid- to high-profile actor, actress, or (less frequently) director accepts a project considered far enough beneath them to raise questions about their integrity, they are considered to be slumming it.
There are a couple ways this can pop up. A highly regarded actor that usually appears in dramatic, "serious" works can appear in "low brow" entertainment (e.g. Dame Judi Dench in The Chronicles of Riddick, Marlon Brando in Superman), someone famous taking a role considered damaging to their public image (e.g. Patrick Stuart in Masterminds), or otherwise a highly talented individual accepting a role on a project that they should have recognized was doomed from the start (e.g. Laurence Olivier in Inchon). Money and/or contractual obligation are usually the reasons, but many seem to genuinely want the role.
Typically, an actor or actress that is slumming it will look hilariously out of place in the film. Whether it's because they're horribly miscast or because they turn out to be the only competent element of the work varies from case to case.

Get the stumping mug.Stumping is a fun way to trip someone when they are running directly behind you. It can be used as a practical escape method or a as a hilarious prank.
Right as your pursuer is directly behind you, hit the brakes and crouch down, much like the fetal position. Not being able to dodge this new obstacle, the unfortunate pursuer, still running at full speed, runs into you with his legs and finds himself a whole load of bad luck usually in the form of flying, faceplanting, public humiliation, or other injuries.
