Get the boned-overmug. When you click the channel button on a remote so many times and so fast that you can't stop it from changing channels since it wasn't changing as fast as you were clicking. Trying to go in the opposite direction will just add on to the chain of channels that have to be visited

Get the over-clickmug. The act a person commits when they are thinking about something and begin talking out loud to themselves about it. Similar to 'thinking it over.'

Get the Gayed overmug. What Hudson (The Ultimate Bad Ass) says after his Squads Evac Drop ship is taken down by the Xenomorphs. Spoken when your plan for an important mission fails horribly and then you end up pretty much boned.
Shit! I was going to bake some home made cookies but all I have is raisins.
Game over, man! Game over!

Get the Game Over, man! Game Over!mug. (CINEMA || TELEVISION) technique in which an actor reads lines, but is not shown speaking the lines in the video stream. So, for example, we might see Martin Sheen lying in bed in a decrepit hotel in Saigon, and hear his voice say, "Saigon... shit! I was still in Saigon!" But he's narrating in the past tense, and the Martin Sheen onscreen is not saying anything. Or we might see Robert Duvall sitting on the beach, and Martin Sheen's disembodied voice, calmly recalling, "Well, he loved his men... Felt safe with them.."
It serves to fill in events in the story that the director doesn't want to depict on screen; it helps to describe how a character feels about events shown in the scene, or remind viewers that they are currently watching a flashback; it also has been used successfully to explain away absurd holes in the plot that would otherwise ruin the movie.
The voice over (VO) is particularly popular in US cinema and somewhat less so in British and Japanese; non-US movies that are conscious imitating Hollywood cliches will usually use it as well.
Usually, artistic movies made outside the English-speaking world tend to avoid using the VO because it's a non-traditional narrative technique, and it looks lazy. A good screenwriter doesn't need to use it. However, in commercials and TV "journalism" it is almost supernaturally powerful in persuading people of utter nonsense; it's basically a form of posthypnotic suggestion.

The propaganda effect of commercials is massively enhanced by the use of voice over narration; usually the VO script is a grammatical mess and crammed with logical errors. This actually makes it work as a tool of brainwashing, since the logic cannot be followed by the listener.

Get the voice overmug. When one has an erection so great that one's willy bends back at an obtuse angel and pushes through your skin and cracks one's pelvis in two.
