Doing a Morrison 

A range of tactics for dodging your responsibilities, including (but not limited to): going missing when the going gets tough; passing the buck; and talking your way out of a tight spot with an empty promise.

Australian slang. Inspired by Australia’s 30th Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

(NOTE: ‘Doing a Morrison’ is not to be confused with ‘Getting Morrisoned’, which usually involves you losing either your pre-selection (see Michael Towke), your job (see Christine Holgate), or your credit for a job well done (see nearly everyone else).)
Crew member 1: “The ship’s taking on water. We’re sinking. Where the bloody hell’s the captain?”
Crew member 2: “Oh, he’s already done a Morrison and racked off in a lifeboat.”

Barry: “How did you get your creditors off your back.”
Bruce: “Too easy. I told them the, ah, cheque was in the mail. Did a total Morrison.”

Delia: “Did you eat the last Tim Tam?”
Nev (wiping chocolate from his lips): “No. It must have been… the other guy.”
Delia: “What other guy? You’re doing a Morrison, aren’t you?”

“Yeah mate, it was piss easy, I just did a Morrison. Promised I’d always love her and she believed it and gave me the money.”

Jim Morrison Scream 

A trademark of Jim Morrison. Heard in songs such as "Light My Fire" it is an absolute embodiment and representation of the legend. When performed correctly, the performer will take a deep breath, and then let out a very low, raspy, almost gasp-like shout that will sound like they've been a lifetime smoker. Popular among annoyances and pranksters, letting out a Jim Morrison scream during a family prayer without warning will guarentee a laugh 100% of the time.
My family and I were sitting down to eat our Thanksgiving turkey, and while we were praying, I just randomly let out a Jim Morrison scream, FUNNIEST SHIT EVER

Former WWE and World Tag Team Champion with Joey Mercury (MNM) and later The Miz (The Greatest Tag Team of the 21st Century). A former Intercontinental Champion.

Hosted a Slammy-award winning internet show with Miz called The Dirt Sheet where they were mock their opponents. Every episode opened with "Hi, I'm John Morrison and ..." which featured some outlandish fact or tidbit about himself. Also, hosted a solo internet show called The Palace of Wisdom.

Known for integrating a parkour style into wrestling, creating a number of fantastic spots, such as the "ninja spot" from The 2011 Royal Rumble. But he is more than a spot monkey and can mat/submission wrestle. (Watch Hell in the Cell 2010 if you don't believe me.)

Often compared to a younger Shawn Michaels.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
