Bambivalence

Having mixed emotions about crossing a slippery surface, fearing that one might fall over and get hurt.

John : "We might as well take the short cut over the ice rink to get to the park. Walking around that SOB will take forever!"

Oscar: "Nah, man. I had a couple of six packs for lunch and my balance isn`t all that right now. On the other hand, it is a lot faster than walking around. Should we? What if I fall and break my ass?!!"

John: "Dude, you got bambivalence real bad!"

The phenomenon to say one has "an eclectic taste in music"--meaning they like "all" music--when in actuality they like no music.

John: I like to think I have an eclectic taste in music.
Jane: But you can't name any albums that have come out in the last year?
John: Yeah, what's your point?
Jane: You like no music--you have eclectic ambivalence.
