Palancing 

Share definition Flag
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’’.

Planning a diarrhea 

Share definition Flag
"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.
