Prancing Cera 

The Prancing Cera is a photo featuring Michael Cera doing a sort of skip, or "prance". It became quite popular on tumblr within the first two hours of its first post.

The original picture was put up by Edgar Wright August 22, 2010 on flickr.

It soon became a widespread picture on Tumblr, August 24, 2010 around 1:00 - 3:00 am.

It's unclear who first posted this picture, but a Tumblr was made named fuckyeahprancingcera.tumblr.com. She has been credited for starting it.

A facebook group was then made called Prancing Cera, August 24, 2010 at 3.04 am.

Planning a diarrhea 

"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.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
