1: Hey, whats the capital of Idaho?
2: Bo...

3: I think so. sigh.

Get the trail off mug.

the trail off

when a group of people are talking/bitching about someone they're not sure they should be because either someone in the group is a big gossip or friends with the person they're bitching about; they 'beep' out the important words by trailing off.

example of the trail off in action

person 1: yeah i know she's so like.. mm
person 2: yeah and she came in and was like.. yeah
person 1: *agrees* yeah i remember that, it was so like...
person 2: yeah.. what is with her..

person 3: CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FINISH THE SENTENCE?!

Get the the trail off mug.

trail one off

to get up from one's chair and walk around with the express purpose of letting a fart rip. This has a few benefits; (1) the smell cannot be easily attributed to the emitter (2) the smell will distribute across a wider area, and dissipate more quickly (3) one's own work area will not become a miasma of the stench of one's own arse (4) it could even be coupled with a quick trip to The Gent's for a hasty kiss from Neptune herself.

I had Jalapeño's in my sandwiches for lunch; time to trail one off before the fog gets too thick
