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.

works for me

1. The meeting time you proposed is not yet blocked out in my calendar.

2. The joke you sent me may prove offensive or incomprehensible to persons from other geographical regions, but because I am from California I find it funny.

1. Tuesday at 11? Works for me.

2. A guy walks into a bar in Alabama and orders a white wine. All the hillbillies sitting around the bar look up, expecting to see some pitiful Yankee from the north.

The bartender says, “You ain’t from around here, are ya?”

The guy says, “No, I’m from Canada.”

The bartender says, “What do you do in Canada?”

The guy says, “I’m a taxidermist.”

The bartender says, “A taxidermist? What in tarnation is a taxidermist? Do you drive a taxi?”

“No, a taxidermist doesn’t drive a taxi. I mount animals.”

The bartender grins and hollers, “It’s okay boys. He’s one of us.”

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?"

scoubidou

Scoubidou (pronounced scooby doo) seems to be the biggest craze since Pokemon cards. All the kids around here are busily plaiting brightly coloured plastic cords into...well, plaited plastic cords...for no reason that I can discern.

It appears to have originated in the Netherlands. See http://www.scoubidou.nl/

I rather like this scoubidou craze. It's cheap, it requires no batteries and it keeps the little blighters quiet on the buses.
