Joe Paterno 

To provide cover for illicit activity. To provide a false alibi or to cover up someone else's nasty behavior.
You want to cheat on your wife, go ahead. But don't ask me to cover for you- I'm not your Joe Paterno.

If the cops call, you're on your own. I'm not your Joe Paterno.

Don't do that in front of me. You're not Jerry Sandusky and I'm not Joe Paterno.

Steaming Joe Paterno 

When one poops his pants at a football game in the winter and steam rises from his pants.

Guy #1: So...did you hear that Jim knew that girl was being raped and did nothing?

Guy #2: Yeah, he was busy pulling a Joe Paterno.

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.
