Spine crunch

Porking someone really, really aggressively in the arse. So much so that one could easily imagine the vertebrae in their spine being crushed making a rather pleasant warm feeling in my trousers... I mean a crunching sound in their spine. Sorry.

reticulating splines 

Nonsense technobabble used in a production context.

Reticulating splines started off as an in-joke at Maxis and grew to fame with the widespread popularity of The Sims. While it does have a "real" meaning, this definition isn't actually correct in the context of its use. It's really a programming joke.

Reticulating splines is essentially filler. Don't want to describe what's holding up the program? It's reticulating splines. Why isn't the Internet working? The splines aren't reticulated. Heck, don't want to explain your calculus assignment? We're reticulating splines this week.

Sorry the video took so long to upload. Reticulating splines took hours!

Spine In A Sack 

A fun family game originated by Sean Lock on 8 Out Of 10 Cats S12E07.

First of all, you must go on the search for some roadkill. Once you have succeeded with this, you need to extract the spine from the animal and then break up all the individual bits of vertebrae - you then place this all in a sack/bag.

Now find a willing volunteer and bounce the sack up and down on their head.

Their job is to guess the animal the spine belongs to.

Also known as: Back In A Bag.
(Result of a game of Spine In A Sack)

Sean Lock: ummmmm, is it chipmunk Dad?

Sean Lock's Dad: Don't be stupid that's not even indigenous. How am I going to find that on a road? Work harder Sean, work harder!
