Crosstalk 

When you are caught in between two people having a conversation and it's really awkward

I was in complete crosstalk yesterday at the movies when the two people on my left and right were talking to each other. It was so awkward because I couldn't move anywhere.

YouTube crosstalk 

Refers to an unwanted "spilling over" of sound between two different YouTube contributors who are each making separate videos in fairly-close proximity to each other, and thus da mike on Person A's camera "overhears" da words from Person's B's spoken commentary, and vise-versa.

If two people want to collaborate on da making of a video --- i.e., combine da best footage-clips from their individual cameras post-production into one complete "from two different vantage-points" documentary --- they should try to film from locales out-of-earshot from each other in order to avoid YouTube crosstalk.

Mexican Crosswalk 

The sloppiest most disorganized gang bang you've ever seen. Nobody’s even sure where this lady came from. Is it even a woman? Did anybody check? There's a steady stream of people coming in and out of the room. Somebody is barbecuing ribs in the corner. A chicken walks through. Who brought a t-shirt gun? Two dogs wrestle over a turkey bone shaped like Lance Armstrong's fat sister and one gives up to take a shit on the carpet. There's a raffle draw for Single A baseball tickets. In the far corner a be-mulleted Peruvian musician with not enough teeth sings a barely passable Spanish version of Come On Eileen to two homely yet (slightly) moist 50-year-old twin sisters from Wisconsin, etc, etc

Named after the pure pandemonic crosswalk experience of Mexico City where simply crossing the road is a messy adventure in every step. Pedestrians are targets. Red lights are merely advisory. A chicken walks through. A toddler holding a partially eaten cob of corn is crying… or possibly choking?? Two seniors stop mid-street to dance to some music that has too many horns in it. Did I just step over an original Atari game console covered in sticky lotion? A guy with a cart full of heavy-duty safes, faucet heads and typewriters goes window to window of stopped cars to try and see if anybody needs to buy a heavy-duty safe, faucet head or typewriter, etc, etc

Guy 1: Hey, when I left the party last night the only people left were the lacrosse team and that old librarian from eastern Russia. How'd the night end?

Guy 2: *sigh* You'd never believe it but it turned into a bit of a Mexican Crosswalk...

crosswalk distrust 

The irrational suspicion held by every human that tells us we cannot hit a crosswalk button just once. Our intuition tells us that, if we only hit the button one time, the electronic signal will not be sent sufficiently to the traffic light. Therefore, every pedestrian makes a fist and hits the button -- rapid-fire style -- until lactic acid causes our triceps to cramp up and shut down.

Dan: Hey ‘Weed – you’re not playin’ Galaga. Hit the button a few times and then stand down.

Tim: Sorry, ‘Skinner. I’ve got major crosswalk distrust…and I don’t wanna miss my waxing appointment.

Crosstard 

one who pushes the crosswalk button at an intersection then proceeds to cross before the light changes, stopping traffic after they have already made it safely across the street.

"I'm stuck at this red light because that crosstard had to hit the button before crossing the street."

Crosswalk Creeping 

The act of slowing pulling one's car forward into the pedestrian crosswalk while parked at a red light, for the purpose of preempting a green light.

The driver in the Civic became so impatient with the long red light, he began crosswalk creeping to trigger the green light and ended up bumping Jason who was crossing the street to go to lunch.

Cornstalker 

someone who is all up in your bussiness and thinks you don't notice.

Two people are having a private conversation and notice another party is listening. The word "Cornstalker" would be obnoxiuosly yelled out by one of the Two people having the conversation making the other party aware there is someone all up in your conversation.
