Z-list celebrity

Usually an ex-reality show star or marginally talented has-been actor/entertainer who hasn't grasped that their 15 minutes of fame expired at least 26 months ago. Often seen on game shows, Home Shopping Network, Dancing With The Stars, infomercials at 3:00am, VH-1, truTV, even worse reality shows, or Where Are They Now? blurbs on Facebook.

They aggressively pursue facetime on TV for interviews or insert themselves into Hollywood galas to which they have not been invited. Occasionally they will create personal drama, no matter how embarrassing, believing that no publicity is bad publicity.

Years ago these has-beens quietly went to Love Boat but now we can't get shed of them.
And now, drumroll for the latest z-list celebrity rollcall:

Kate Gosselin, (at least Jon finally has a real job), Octomom, Gary Busey, Shannon Doherty, Kevin Federline, Todd Bridges

Steve Rogers List

A list of shit that you need to do in order to get caught up with society, because you've apparently been trapped in ice for the past 66 years.
"You haven't seen Firefly?!? Where the fuck have you been for the past 10 years? I'm putting it on your Steve Rogers List, and we are binge watching it together."

I'll add it to my list

What you say to someone when they suggest you watch a certain show or movie.

Sometimes you mean it. More often than not you have no interest in what they've recommended, and are just saying you'll watch it one day to politely placate them.
"Oh dude, you have to watch The Expanse. It's this really cool sci-fi series."

Resolution List

The list that you make at the beginning of the new year right before you go back to school or work of the the things that you want to accomplish that year. "This year will be different!", you think as you put the list in your bedside drawer and go out to runs some errands.

Six months later, you find the list again during spring cleaning and discover that you haven't done a single thing on that f*cking list!!! You crumple the list up and throw it away, realizing again how crappy your life is....
SOB!!! I haven't done anything on this f*cking resolution list! Screw it, I'm going to the bar...

AGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! This list is the epitemy of my worthlessness.

Murtaugh List

A list made famous from the TV show "How I Met Your Mother" inspired by Danny Glover's charater Roger Murtaugh in the movie series "Lethal Weapon."

Murtaugh's catch phrase in these movies was "I'm too old for this shit"

Putting something on the Murtaugh List acknowledges that as you grow up, there's stuff you just can no longer do that you did in your youth.
I can no longer pull an all-nighter. It's on my Murtaugh List.

BARNIE: "Hey Ted, want to dye your hair a funny color and attend a rave?"
TED: "No Barney, I can't. It's on my Murtaugh List"

freebie list

A list of 5 celebrities who, should the opportunity arise, one is allowed to sleep with without it being considered as cheating by your significant other.

The concept was made popular in the Friends episode 'The One with Frank Jr.'.
Chandler: Does anyone else think David Copperfield is cute?

Monica: No, but he told me he thinks you're a fox.

Chandler: All right, Janice likes him. In fact, she likes him so much she put him on her freebie list.

Joey: Her what?

Chandler: Well, we have a deal, where we each get to pick five celebrities that we can sleep with, and the other one can’t get mad.

Ross: Ah, the heart of every healthy relationship. Honesty, respect, and sex with celebrities.
