Special Leave

Generic term used within many administrative sections of UK public sector to excuse/justify/advocate frivolous waste of public funds through unnecessary staff absence, and expense claims. Can cover various pursuits including, but must adhere to following: (1. Must NOT conclude with beneficial outcomes for funding body (the public), 2. Must offer opportunities to waste public money through paid absence, and unnecessary expense claims, 3. Must be so ludicrous in their inception to rile and annoy other tax payers.). Funding for special leave is regarded as a higher priority than employment, and as such is not affected even in austere times and redundancies.
Example of use: "hey, you hear about half of the department being made redundant last week? I only heard about it when I submitted my expense form for last week's special leave - we went skiing. Yeah it's so unfair all those redundancies - I blame the banks."

When I leave, come together like butt cheeks

Famous quote first uttered by the great Eddie Griffin on the Chappelle Show season two episode seven. When Griffin's character, Grits N' Gravy, recites the line, the character is leaving a dice game because he has lost. The line is the character's finale. To understand the meaning of this line, one must realize that it refers to the act of defecating. When the feces begins to emerge from the anus, the butt cheeks will often part to make room. When the feces leaves the anus, the butt cheeks will close and thus "come together". Through use of extraordinary creativity and brilliant comedic genius, Griffin used his symbolic language to portray his character as "the shit". Griffin's brilliance is can be witnessed first hand as none of the audience in the show laughs.

House of Five Leaves

A really good Seinen anime by Natsume Ono. The animation is really unique and is very detailed. It's really beautiful. There's a tiny bit of blood, but it's not gruesome. There isn't any nudity either. There are twelve episodes and eight manga books. They have all of the episodes on Hulu. It's a story about Akitsu Masanosuke, a shy and nervous, yet skilled extremely Samurai. He often gets fired from his jobs, and so Masa tries looking for a new job. He passes by Yaichi, the leader of a group calling itself "The Five Leaves". Yaichi meets Masa, so he hires him as a bodyguard. The group kidnaps business' heirs and make them pay ransom money. That's where Masa meets Otake, Umenzou, and Matsukichi, three more members of the group. With difficulties, Akitsu eventually becomes part of the The Five Leaves.
Even though I'm a girl, I thought House of Five Leaves was nice.
