Aug 11 Word of the Day
A phrase to describe someone who is cognitively degenerating. Synonym of "going off the deep end". Can have varying degrees of severity.

Reference to the song "Hey You" by Pink Floyd. The line "and the worms ate into his brain" makes no sense in an otherwise linear and literal narration throughout the lyrics.
"My boyfriend has a total case of brain worms. He told me the cat was bugged so the Feds could listen in on us having sex..."

or

"You totally stumbled over that entire sentence. Can't speak English all of a sudden? What, do you have brain worms?"

Based on Tom Cruise's display of affection for Katie Holmes on Oprah. To jump the couch is to say a person has lost the ability to deal with emotions in a reasonable way. Communicating some form of insanity to those around.
Sam is so upset about Jessica's request to break up, I think he might jump the couch.
