Palancing

Trinidad Soca Monarchs JW and Blaze coined the derived term ’palancing’’. Although claimed as theirs, formed by simply removing the ’R’’ from the word ’parlance’’. The term is ’Jack Palancing’’ which is a linguistic device known as rhyming slangs (later to be called Cockney rhyming slangs). These rhyming slangs, peculiar to most languages were slangs in which words were replaced by a word or phrase with which they rhymed. Another form of rhyming slangs was called reduplication as in such terms as ’hoity toity’’, ’namby pamby’’, ’nitty gritty’’, ’itsy bitsy’’ etc.

The term ’Jack Palancing’’ simply means dancing. Its origin may be more Irish than Cockney. As a matter of fact, one well-known Cockney rhyming slang is ’donkey’s ears’’ meaning ’years’’.

Prancing Cera

The Prancing Cera is a photo featuring Michael Cera doing a sort of skip, or "prance". It became quite popular on tumblr within the first two hours of its first post.

The original picture was put up by Edgar Wright August 22, 2010 on flickr.

It soon became a widespread picture on Tumblr, August 24, 2010 around 1:00 - 3:00 am.

It's unclear who first posted this picture, but a Tumblr was made named fuckyeahprancingcera.tumblr.com. She has been credited for starting it.

A facebook group was then made called Prancing Cera, August 24, 2010 at 3.04 am.

Urban Planning

Something that does not exist on the North American continent.

Canadian: Wow, I can't believe it takes me 30 minutes a day just to drive to work!
American: If you think hard, I have to go 45 minutes on road to anywhere!
Mexican: You guys have roads!?

North Americans together: Oh yeah we don't have urban planning...

planningly

plan·ning·ly adv.

With or by good planning.

cf. luckily, often incorrectly used instead.

Planningly, when the server died (as servers do from time to time), we had a current backup. Luck had nothing to do with it.

Planning a diarrhea

"Planning a diarrhea" is a humorous way of referring to a planned sick leave from work, especially when it's not backed by actual sickness, but rather to spend paid sick days for things other than sickness.

Diarrhea is used as an excuse for the leave, as it's cumbersome enough to keep one from leaving home, warrants little explanation, and may not require a doctor's note to justify the sick day, as it can go away on its own.

* So, are you working on Tuesday?

** Nah. I'm planning a diarrhea for that day. Got stuff to do at home.
