cat waxing 

verb: an industry term for procrastination by writers, with heavy connotation of trying to justify the activity as something that "had" to be done. Usually activities that can arguably be considered productive, such as household chores or (highly tangential) background research. The term mocks the behavior of scraping the bottom of the bucket for excuses of diminishing quality.

I've mowed the lawn, washed the windows, weeded the garden, scrubbed the toilets, and worked out all my menus for the next three months. I guess it's time to... wait! I think the cat needs to be waxed! Yes! Cat waxing!

Waxing the Cat 

An excuse to give to someone when you really, really don't want to talk to them. It's sort of like a stunner because no one expects it. Once you stun them, it's your time to get away.

"Waxing the Cat" is a family-friendly way to get the hell away from someone you don't like.

Joanie: Blah, blah, something stupid, blah, blah...
Fred: I MUST BE OFF! I'M GOING TO BE WAXING THE CAT!
Joanie: *Staring at Fred in shock*
Fred: *Makes an epic get away* HA, it works everytime!

Stroad

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.

Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
