Idiot Ball 

Can be a figurative or literal ball that creates profound stupidity in the person with the misfortune of holding it.

It is often used by writers to fuel the episode of the week when they can no longer think of a worthwhile plot driver.
-A tell for this is when you scream at a character, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? NO, STOP THAT!"

Any Actor that appears in an infomercial.

Can be thought of as a game of Hot Potato but with one's competence on the line.
Actor with the Idiot Ball:

Villain with the Idiot Ball:
"Before I kill you Mr. Bond, I will tell you how to stop my plan for world domination."

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
