Nooskaline

The precise line where you pass from (innocent) innuendo to awkward silences. When crossed nothing can sound innocent, and every response is met with arched eyebrows.

A: Yeah I'm not really excited about X
B: somebody isn't doing enough then.
A: Oh my! I think we just crossed the Nooskaline

Nookatine Fit

A temporary medical condition, characterized by restlessness, irritability, and a lost-in-space appearance, resulting from a prolific reader's Nook (or similar ebook reader) needing to be charged. The symptoms are particularly pronounced during extended car or plane trips.

Just as my wife was getting to the end of the new Patricia Cornwell novel, her Nook had to be charged. I had to put up with 3 hours of a complete Nookatine fit.
