Twitney

Intellectually insulting nickname for Britney Spears or Whitney Houston, with which it rhymes.

"Jessica Alba will never be known as a Twitney. She's much too bright for that."

pitchfork effect

A cognitive bias in which a subject is judged negatively as a whole based on a single and often circumstantial component. The opposite of the halo effect.

Bob: You’re going to see the new Sex and the City movie? That’s going to suck!
Kate: No, it isn’t. It’s just you and the pitchfork effect.

Bob: You listen to Lady Gaga? How about listening to some real music for once?
Joe: I could care less about your taste in music; that’s just a pitchfork effect.

shit a brick

Lay a hard solid turd, usually a long and thick shot that can get stuck in the narrow passage of a toilet (and cause a serious overflow for your downstairs neighbor).

When I was told that I'd just shit a brick, I actually felt like I'd just shit a brick. (The latter uses the more accepted definition, associated with anxiety and stress.)

Sunday-night headache

An occurrence for which there is absolutely no time but whose (continuous) nature warrants its complete attention until it is resolved (based on an actual event that took place on a Sunday evening in 1998). Does not normally apply to matters that require human mediation.

I got a Sunday-night headache over that stupid alarm.
