Mexican Yawn

Similar to to the Mexican Wave, the Mexican Yawn is the inevitable ripple of yawns through a group of people proceeding after witnessing the first "source yawn". The source yawn must be seen and heard in order to have maximum effect.

Dave, having only slept for 3 hours that night, kept starting the the Mexican Yawn during our office meeting.

Mexican yawn

When an infectious yawn passes from person to person along a line or through a group, until everyone has yawned in sequence. Like a Mexican wave - but with yawning. Extra points awarded if the original yawner is triggered again.

Operative 1: Dude, the Boss's team briefing was sooo boring today that Kevin started yawning his head off. Jill caught it from him, and she passed it to Randall, and pretty soon it had run right round the table back to Kevin.

Operative 2: Mexican yawn, dude.

abandonware

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.

Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.

The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!

cornholio

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.

"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
