nibble

To place a small bet on a runner because the price looks too good to be true.

"I tell you what else caught my eye: Luis Garcia is 320/1 with Betfair to be top scorer. Surely worth a nibble, especially after his hat-trick in the qualifier, or is there something I don't know?"

jazz hands

A cabaret-style dance move, popularized by the musical "Fosse". Now used, usually ironically, to express excitement, glee, razzle dazzle, etc.

The move is performed by tilting the head slightly, shimmering the hands with fingers splayed either side of the face and crying "Jazz hands!" with an enthusiastic smile. Think Jack from Will and Grace.

Also *JAZZ HANDS!!!* used as an expressive punctuation on blogs and bulletin boards.

I'm all for guys getting in touch with their emotions but he's just too jazz hands for me.

catherine tate

A woman comedian for whom no allowances need to be made. A brilliant observer of social types in modern Britain...she drills into the kind of people you normally skirt around and taps the wellspring of their irritating nature. Rarely has an apprenticeship with the Royal Shakespeare Company been put to such good use. The nation should immortalize her in Cockney rhyming slang.

"Sorry I'm Catherine, the traffic was awful."
or
"Can't come out tonight, I've got a Catherine."
or
"You're looking Catherine, have you lost Catherine?"
