Maguire Moment

Where a person, usually of lesser statue, bluntly informs a superior how to do their job or perform better.

This is often in an outburst, known to all around them, but no one wants to say it.

Named after the essay/paper written by Tom Crusie's character in the film 'Jerry Maguire'.

Dave: How did the big meeting go?
Mike: Pretty bad dude - I might not have a job on Monday!
Dave: WTF happened?
Mike: I had a complete Maguire Moment... the VP Of Sales wanted us to stay behind again this weekend, to brainstorm. Well I just lost it and yell out the three simple things that the Sales team had to do to increase performance.
Dave: What happened?
Mike: I got a few winks from some of my workmates - I didn't say anything that they didn't already know - but I think the VP is pissed, so say the least.

James Bond Effect

The James Bond Effect (also called 007 Effect) is a theory in propaganda and political circles, whereby the first detailed opinion/summary that someone hears or reads on a particular topic, is the one they are most likely to adopt.

Called the James Bond Effect - in reference to the James Bond character - as there is highly anecdotal evidence that the first actor someone sees play the chacater of James Bond, is the one they prefer (i.e. someone who saw their first Bond film in the 1960's will tell you Sean Connery played the best Bond, however those that saw their first Bond film in the 1990's will tell you Pierce Brosnan is the best).

Mike: Hey, John I hear that Dave got fired? You guys had lunch all the time didn't you?
John: Yeah, he was let go last week. The wierd thing is our Manager keeps going on about why he got fired - showing me emails and letters. If you ask me, that's just wrong - that's confidential information.
Mike: Well, that's the James Bond Effect for you. Management know that you will probably catch up with Dave sometime soon.

1)

Dave: Nah, I'm having my Janopause - I drank far to much around Christmas.

2)
Mary: You are not going to believe this, but I think I'm pregnant!?
Kelly: Really? When's the last time you got your period?
Mary: Well, my last one was in December.
Kelly: Janopause! Who did you have unprotected sex with on New Years Eve!?

My Nipples Are Hard

This term is usually used when someone had just heard some good - often unexpected - news.

Dave: Guess what?
Mike: What?
Dave: When I went to get us tickets to the 'Stones gig, the girl at the ticket booth was an ex girlfriend of mine in college!
Mike: So? Big deal!
Dave: She gave us 'Platinum' grade seats and we only paid for 'Silver'! How do you like that!
Mike: That's excellent! My nipples are hard, dude!

clear the head

A expression used in place of "going to the bathroom", for the express purpose of deficating. It means to "take a shit".

Refer to: lighten the load

Although 'head' is often used as a reference to 'toilet', this is not the case in this expression.

Mike: Are we ready to go?
Dave: Nah, Andrew's just gone to clear the head.
Mike: Christ, he'll be gone a while - we may as well have another beer!
