Griswolded

When without prior warning or notice you don't receive a holiday bonus from your employer, despite receiving it previous years. Because of this assumption you inadvertently over extend yourself financially.

"Spending Christmas in Maui is going to be expensive but worth it for the precious family memories... I hope I don't get Griswolded!"

Tom Griswold

co-host of the bob and tom radio show, a paranoid germaphobe but very funny

Tom Griswold won't go to a gas station if there is a fuel tanker there and when he is in a hotel he puts the TV remote in a ziplock bag to protect himself from germs, but he is a very funny guy.

Dirty Griswold

When a girl is riding/fucking her boyfriend on the couch while they watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and her dog starts to lick her ass.

I was watching Christmas Vacation and my girl's dog totally gave her a Dirty Griswold.

Clark Griswold

Taken from the National Lampoon Christmas Vacation movie.

(Noun) - Someone who gets possessed by the Christmas Spirit and enjoys it a little too much

(Verb) - its the act of getting way too into Christmas, including decorating your house in an obscenely obnoxious way or traveling out to the middle of no-where to cut down an oversized Christmas tree.

John realized he went Clark Griswold on his house when he could see the lights from across town.

Griswold mistake

A major oversight or obvious err in judgement or planning. As in the movie National Lampoon's Vacation, the Griswold family drives cross-country to Wally World theme park to find that it was closed. Or, failing to see an obvious easier route, short-cut, shorter line or less crowded approach to anything while preoccupied following the masses. "Stupid tourist, sheep, rookie mistake".

After spending nearly an hour looking for parking, Ves realized his Griswold mistake of shopping at the mall on the weekend.
