Polo's definitions

never bring food to a buffet

an expression which basically asserts that it is unnecessary (and often self-defeating) to be accompanied by someone of the opposite sex to an event where there are likely to be a significant amount of unattached people who are potentially looking for an opportunity to "hook up".

applies of course to those who are not married or not in a steady, long term relationship.
"so, are you going to Darren and Tracey's wedding? I hear there will be lots of hot singles there!"

"for sure. maybe I should bring along a date, what do you think?"

"no no no, my friend......remember....NEVER bring food to a buffet!"

mental midget

a person who is narrow-minded or has limited knowledge or insight to anything outside his or her immediate life.

basically someone who lacks education or higher thought.
I tried to start a conversation about Hapsburg Europe with that hot looking babe at the party who is supposedly a history major.
turns out she's just another mental midget, since all she talked about was her ex boyfriend Diego and her Mary Kay cosmetics collection!

passing fancy

a novelty that captures the attention of the general public for a relatively brief period, until either people lose interest in it, or the next "big thing" comes along.

also, an infatuation or a temporary but intense emotional attachment toward an individual.
Just as the hoola hoop of the late 1950s, so too did the Rubiks Cube prove to be a passing fancy after it was introduced in the early 1980s.

I suppose Sue's brief relationship with Tim was just a passing fancy for her, as she's since returned to her husband.

stereo

When two people say the same word or phrase simultaneously during a conversation (usually by coincidence), the word "stereo" would then be uttered immediately by one or both parties to acknowledge this phenomenon.
no real example here, just remember to say "stereo!" the next time you and someone else you are speaking with inadvertently say the same thing at the same time.

freedom of the sea

a quick and easy conquest; describing someone or something that can be defeated with seemingly minimal effort.
