Moses Magoo

A noun or a verb.

A Moses Magoo is one whose attention is preoccupied with the functions of a cellphone while walking, thus impeding the ability to focus on pedestrian traffic beyond one's own limited periphery, relying upon others to part, clearing a path before him or her.

This is a combined allusion to the biblical Moses, who parted the Red Sea and to the cartoon character Mister Magoo, who was notoriously near-sighted and resultantly accident prone.

To do a Moses Magoo is to cut someone off or to interfere in the smooth flow of pedestrian traffic because of a pre-occupation with a cellphone or similar device.

A true Moses Magoo, Charlie never sees beyond his nose while fidgetting with his cellphone and walking against the flow of traffic.

The guy in the green shirt Moses Magooed me, causing me to drop my drink.

Baby Moses

When one poops in a toilet that is already full of toilet paper. The formation resembles the baby Moses floating down the Nile in his basket of reeds.

Brian made a Baby Moses when he took a dump, wiped himself, and then sat down to poop again.

Moses Maneuver

This is a maneuver administered to somebody who is trapped in a conversation with somebody with a voluminous mouth and feels that he has no polite escape. Somebody else (acting as Moses) delivers him (the victim) from bondage by calling their cell phone. The victim will say something like “I really need to take this call”. If the maneuver is successful, the talker (perpetrator) will go away. Also, when the caller identifies himself as Moses, the victim will immediately know what has just happened.

Look! Kevin’s cornered by Sarah. I can tell by the look on his face that he wants “out” of the conversation. I’m going to call his cell and administer the Moses Maneuver.
