richard marx 

Noun: when someone makes or tells a joke and the joke's intended recipient does not laugh, or the joke is not funny, the joke-teller is said to have pulled a "Richard Marx."

Origin: there is a man who frequents the downtown Syracuse NY scene and who dresses like he's Richard Marx's fanclub president, from his permed hair to his leather jacket to his cowboy boots poking out of his acid-washed tapered jeans. Once when he was spotted at a bar, a waitress was asked by a patron "Hey, don't you think that guy over there looks like Richard Marx?" The waitress responded with only "He's a really nice guy" and walked away from the table. Stunned but undeterred, the patron again said to the waitress upon her return "Hey, seriously, don't you think that guy over there looks like Richard Marx?" to which she again gave only the dead-serious reply "He's a really nice guy." The patron and his friend with him were dumbfounded, and ever since, as this story has been spread, it has been becoming known as "pulling a Richard Marx" when a joke doesn't turn out the laughs it was thought it would.

Tips: when someone pulls a Richard Marx, it is best not to blurt out "You just pulled a Richard Marx!" but rather to subtly inform said offender of his failed humor attempt. Try simply saying "Good one, Richard" or softly singing "Hold on to the nights." Best yet, when you pull a Richard Marx, just call it before someone else does. Try singing "Shoulda known better" as soon as you realize you've Richard Marxed a joke attempt. This might actually redeem you from your humor failure if your company is hip to what a Richard Marx is and they laugh at you calling yourself on it!

Calling a Richard Marx can be risky if other people present are not familiar with the term. If so, you might actually end up pulling a Richard Marx also if you call it and people are confused! Think about the company present, and consider keeping it subtle, before calling a Richard Marx.

Though somewhat malicious, people have been known to deliberately cause another person to pull a Richard Marx by intentionally not laughing at their otherwise funny joke. Technically this is a Richard Marx, but it's not what the term was originally coined to have done with it.

"I Richard Marxed myself" or "He Richard Marxed himself" are never the way to express this humor failure. Simply say "I Richard Marxed" or "He Richard Marxed" if you wish to express it this way.
Person 1: Man, poor Dave has been pulling one Richard Marx after another today!
Person 2: I know! It's been like a Richard Marx greatest hits tour!

Person 1: Dude, didn't you get it?
Person 2: Sorry bro, my mind was on the Richard Marx concert coming to town today.

Siberian Tiger vs Brown Bear 

One of the biggest arguments you'd ever see on the internet. Many people argue that the tiger could kill the bear, and vice versa. Typically, you'd look to nature to settle this conflict but it is just as complicated in the wild. The tigers manage to kill and eat bears more often then bears kill tigers, but it is unclear in most encounters whether the tigers and bears were both healthy, or how old and experienced they were.
Siberian tiger vs Brown bear is the greatest argument since Brown vs Board of Ed.
