sititis

1) Latin for "thirsting."
2) According to the Clark County News of December 1875, it is a disease "caused from people sitting around too much and taking no exercise."
3) A palindrome that just happens to have the words "sit," "it," "tit," and "'tis" in it.

Laura, if you keep telling me to sit tight, I’m gonna get a bad case of sititis!
Urkel, if you don’t stop complaining you’ll get a worse case of broken-face-and-glasses!

–Family Matters, Episode 88

pull a river

1) To open the most serious barrel of whoop ass imaginable like River Tam does on the planet Miranda when she’s locked in a room with a bunch of Reavers and goes mentally medieval on all of them.

2) To win a hand at Texas Hold Em only with the help of the last card.

3) To drink almost continually from a keg of beer.

4) To perform a great feat of strength, like the fifth labor of Hercules in which he diverts an entire river by hand.

5) To die young and end a promising career, a la River Phoenix.

Whoa, did you see Adam pull a river last night? He drank like sixteen pints then fell down like he was dead. I love that dood.

buffyism

An expression, way of speaking, or quote that has come into common usage or been popularized by the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Examples include wig out, sitch, and adding the suffix -age to almost any word. Asking a question with an adjective followed by much is another example, as in, "Morbid, much?"

According to online forums, many people use entire quotes from the show in the daily conversation. Popular examples include "Bored, now," (said in a slow languorous voice) "What’s your childhood trauma?" and "Your logic does not resemble our earth logic."

A buffyism can also be any quote from the program that shows characters at their most witty, usually bending the English language to comic effect.

"You're a vampire. Oh, I'm sorry. Was that an offensive term? Should I say undead American?"

"To make you a vampire, they have to suck your blood. Then you have to suck their blood. It's like a whole big sucking thing."

"I'm just gonna go home, lie down, and listen to country music. The music of pain."

"Apparently Buffy has decided the problem with the English language is all those pesky words. You. Angel. Big. Smoochies?"
