The pile of precariously balanced dishes in a dishrack that cannot be disturbed lest there be an avalanche of china, crockery, and silverware.

When somebody passes out drunk, you take turns piling stuff on them until they either wake up or the whole pile falls over.

A term coined by Terrson to represent a form of Jenga where one removes an article of clothing whenever the tower falls.
It was a fearsome sight indeed after the tower fell for the last time, after that, strip jenga was forever banned in the lounge.
<Terrson> My name shall not go down in history as the guy who codified Strip Jenga.
Guess again, Terrson.

A game in which you attempt to empty out a huge sink full of dishes by pulling dishes out one at a time from the bottom or middle of the pile, attempting to avoid knocking over the whole pile of dishes.
My girlfriend wasn't around, and the sink was overflowing with dishes... so I decided to get drunk and play Sink Jenga.

Inertia or fear of taking any action to change the status quo because there's too much at risk, and not enough discomfort to execute an action.

The last remark spoken in a social situation that causes an awkward silence due to a breach of etiquette in a previously light-hearted situation of escalating banter.
Named after the game Jenga in which a tower of wooden blocks is created and each player carefully removes one wooden block, in turn, from the tower until one player removes the fatal block causing the collapse of the tower, and subsequently loses the game.

Person A: "Hey, I just got back from Disney World."
Person B: "What did you bring me?" (Joking, knowing the answer is nothing)
Person A: "I brought you back Mickey Mouse, but he died in my suitcase in the cargo hold so his body is a bit decomposed now." (Possibly pushing the limits of social etiquette in this situation)
Person B: "That's ok, hack off his ears and make a hat for me." (Pushing the limits even further)
Person A: "Are you sure you don't want a coin purse instead?" (Exceeding the limits of etiquette in this situation)
<awkward silence>
The last statement by Person A is the Jenga Joke.
