St. Francis Salute

This is handy when you park your car in snowy areas. It's when you pull the windshield wipers of your car off of the windshield and leave them up. This prevents snow/ice build-up on the wipers while you're at work and makes cleaning your car easier. Named for Saint Francis University in Loretto, PA, where it snows from October to April.

Every car in the lot is giving the St. Francis Salute!

Indiana Jonesing the Coffee

When you are making coffee in a coffee maker and you lift the pot out carefully as you tilt your own cup into the stream of coffee. Taken from the opening scene of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981) when Harrison Ford's character fills a bag with sand to steal a booby-trapped idol.

Me: I was Indiana Jonesing the coffee in the breakroom this morning!
My Secretary: Yeah, you made an awful mess! (hands me a paper towel)

Oort Editing

Much like the Oort Cloud, Oort Editing is when you take scraps of video or film from a shoot and edit it together. Most commonly used on wedding videos to show the bride and groom what happened while they were getting ready and/or shit was hitting the fan. It is very much free form editing and has been made easier by the advent of nonlinear editors

"I loved that extra footage you put at the end of our wedding video!"

"Thanks, I just did a little oort editing."

catalanche

When 2 or more cats run down a flight of stairs, causing a rumbling sound and knocking over everything in their path. This often due to excitement and/or food.

"What happened to you, James? You look like you got in a fight."

"No, no...I just got caught in a catalanche and was swept down the stairs."

riding high

A term relating to a breast enhancement that is very sudden and very noticeable. Not exactly a bad thing, but it becomes a topic of conversation very quickly. Plus, it's regarding boobs, so...Bonus!

Have you seen Mary recently? She's riding high!
