hate spiel

Used to show someone exactly how much you dislike them. A hate spiel is a series of events, negative in nature and usually but not always fictional, that you list and take credit for. It is usually concluded by an event more catastrophic than the others that you do not take credit for but instead laugh at.

Remember that person who tried to kill you? That was me. When your dog got poisoned? Also me. Your parents, hit by a car? Not me, but I laughed.

Spiegel Spiel

From the German words for " mirror " and " play ", describing the playful and somewhat awkwardly amusing sidestepping of two people trying to politely let the the other pass, only to repeatedly move into each others way, as if they were mirror images.

Glock 'n' spiel

Not to be confused with the old-fashioned xylophone-like instrument, this term refers to Madea's lengthy "gettin'-getter-got" monologue to Dr. Phil. in which she says she'll "get my Glock" if "the gotters get me".

Dr. Phil totally didn't know how to handle Madea after her rambling "Glock 'n' spiel", and so he told her retinue that they'd have to "get someone else to treat her --- I'm done".
