tarantism 

The uncontrollable urge to dance to relieve one's melancholy.

I think I've got a bad case of tarantism, I just can't seem to stop myself from getting down and funky.

It's really a word, look it up in the real dictionary.

tarantism 

(TAR-uhn-tiz-uhm)- An uncontrollable urge to dance - After Taranto, a town in southern Italy where this phenomenon was experienced during the 15-17th centuries. It's not clear whether tarantism was the symptom of a spider's bite or its cure, or it may have been just a pretext to dodge a
prohibition against dancing. The names of the dance tarantella and the spider tarantula are both derived from the same place.

"The director is in a wild delirium, spinning in circles as though stricken with tarantism, his whirring camera held at arm's length, panning, tilting, arcing and oscillating and making other moves that have no name."

Bobby Tarantino

Besides Young Sinatra, rapper Logic’s second alter-ego goes by the name of Bobby Tarantio. Whereas Young Sinatra is referred to as the “old” Logic with an old-school style of rap, Bobby Tarantino is the side of Logic that raps and sings to trap music. This is the name of his fifth and sixth mixtapes called Bobby Tarantino and Bobby Tarantino II, which are a trap style mixtape. This name is also used to describe the trap style of music Logic makes.

Turn on some Bobby Tarantino stuff!
I perfer Bobby Tarantino over Young Sinatra. (Or vise versa)

Tarantinoing

A screenwriting technique in which two or more characters have a conversation that has nothing to do with the plot of the movie or the current situation, but is usually added to lighten the mood, or to develop character. This method can either work to the movie's advantage, or just slow it down.

Coined by Doug Walker, AKA the Nostalgia Critic, in his review of M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs."

1. Ugh, that new M. Night Shyamalan movie was horrendous. The plot was nonsensical, the characters were dull, and there was WAY too much Tarantinoing.

2. The movie was pretty violent, but the Taratinoing lightened up the mood considerably.

tarantino moment 

when two normal people discuss a very simple thing, but go into great depths about it for several minutes. such as in quentin tarantino movies, where the stars discuss something such as the act of tipping in restaurants (reservoir dogs) for a long time.

"Last night, my bro and i were at the hookah bar, and we somehow ended up describing this piece of cheese for 10 minutes, the texture, flavor, everything. it was a complete tarantino moment"

Tarantino hangover 

A hangover where your memories from the previous night appear randomly and not in sequential order, not unlike the scenes in Pulp Fiction. You have to see them all before you can finally piece together what actually happened.

I had a Tarantino hangover the night after my birthday . . . I remember the club, the taxi, but didn't remember the fight, the kebab and pissing in an alley until a few hours later.
