Derived from the cliché "digging yourself into a hole" (In a conversation; where someone keeps saying things which make their own situation more and more awkward). "Drop the shovel" may be said to the person digging themselves into the hole by another member of the conversation concerned for the person's welfare, indicating that they should stop talking to avoid making the situation any worse. Created by the only Matthew Jones in Cardiff.
Jake: And I said to my girl, "Shut it, fatty!" Ha. But she got the joke.
Tom: Ha! It's funny because she is a little bit chubby!
Jake: No...that's not why it's funny. My girl's not chubby.
Tom: Nah but she's got a bit more cellulite than most.
Jake: WHAT?
Tom: Ok, it's not just cellulite I know. She must have an eating disorder righ-
Matt: DUDE. Drop the shovel.

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.
