Carusoism 

Noun: Any comical yet retarded one-liner used for the sole purpose of mocking David Caruso of CSI: Miami.

Carusoisms are generally initiated by stating the first line with an upwardly skewed pitch, pausing to place aviators over the Carusoist's eyes. Ultimately, after a minuscule pause, a witty completion that ties the beginning words is uttered. Afterwards, the Carusoist is forced to quickly depart the area to the tune of "Won't Get Fooled Again" by the Who.

Without debate, the most vital step is the playing of "Wont Get Fooled Again" at the line completion, which completely validates the Carusoism.
CSI: Miami always opens with a Carusoism.
Man: Maybe he took off.
Caruso: Or maybe... *Put aviators on*...He got taken for a ride.
THEME: YEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHUHHHH.
*Swiftly exit the room.*
