WSoD

Acronym: Willing Suspension of Disbelief.

Readers/watchers of fiction will accept unrealistic premises in a story as long as it is all self-consistent. The story should not break its own rules, and people should behave like people. "You can ask an audience to believe the impossible, but not the improbable."

C'mon, I'm OK with the cowboys riding pterodactyls and the breakdancing robots, but WSoD won't cover them walking into the cellar unarmed AGAIN.

planking

A newer name for the lying down game, where you pose for a picture lying flat on your face in an unusual location.

Food superstore Woolworths sacked eight employees this week for planking on top of meat grinders, display shelves, trolleys and stacks of milk crates.

anteloping

Feeding a woman lines about how scary it is out in the city at night, and she'd be much safer if she stays here with you, the same way that a male Damaliscus antelope pretends that a predator is nearby when a female is about to leave his territory.

Lying about danger scores the antelopes 65% more booty on average; it can work for you too.

"Don't leave the bar now, baby, it's rainy and there are lions out there. Stay here and have a drink with me till they go."
Now that is some smooth anteloping.

where was I

An exclamation in the middle of a senior moment, when the geezer discovers that he no longer remembers what he was talking about.

"So I said to the President, look here you whipper-snapper, I have an onion on my belt and... and... wait, where was I?"
