Hanseling
Named for the action of Hansel (and Gretel) from "Hansel and Gretel," the Grimms' fairy tale, as they dropped stones or bread, in turn, to mark their path through the forest.
Forms may include: Hanseling (or lower case, hanseling), a verb; to hansel, a verb; or Proper noun, Hansel (meaning one who drops carelessly in described manner, or any variation of such).
Hanseling is the term used when items, carelessly or purposely, are dropped (possibly in a meandering or careless path-like manner) as a man or boy walks; Greteling is the identical term when a woman or girl walks and drops items in similar manner.
So there is the male version: Hanseling. The female version: Greteling. Either caps or lowercase: Hanseling or hanseling; Greteling or greteling.
The term was initially used years ago when small boys would fail to stay put at meals, and would carry their meals or snacks around the house, haphazardly dropping crumbs or chunks of food in paths around the house.
The term not only includes eating and dropping crumbs, but can broadly include dropping any item (such as clothes, paper, trash, etc.), often in an unthinking or inconsiderate manner.
It can further include not wiping ones' feet at the door, and hanseling mud throughout the home. Etc.

Hausenism
Coined by Twitter users @ malakaicyan and @ sadsimpwrestle and inspired/popularized by the linguistic mannerisms of self-described “very nice, very evil” professional wrestler Danhausen, “Hausenisms” refer to the wrestler’s peculiar bastardizations of phrases and names.
These are similar to Trailer Park Boys’ “Rickyisms,” with the exception that Hausenisms take place almost exclusively in the realm of professional wrestling.
More Hausenisms can be found on Danhausen’s YouTube page, “Love That Danhausen.”

“That’s nothing to shake a fist at.” –Danhausen, as opposed to saying the proper figure of speech, “nothing to shake a stick at.” The “Hausenism” here is the intentional botching of the “correct” phrase.
“Here is my close personal friend, Chris Judas—‘Jericho’ to some.” –Danhausen, on professional wrestler Chris Jericho, whose entrance song is called “Judas.”
“Swearing is bad. Cursing is fine.” –Danhausen
Danhausen also refers to pro wrestler CM Punk, formerly of WWE, as “Pepsi Man” because of Punk’s Pepsi brand shoulder tattoo.
