Vienna moment

The dawning realisation that you don't know what's going on in any given situation. Line from the 1980s Ultravox song 'Vienna':

Oh Vienna, this means nothing to me.

During the Q&A a professor asked an obscure question and as he was talking I was having a total Vienna moment.

familia shit

The universal troubles caused to you by being part of a family. So called because they are familiar to all concerned.

Membership and/or participation in family activities cause well known types of this shit.

What's up Greg?

My uncle caused a scene over Thanksgiving and my mum was crying over the wasted effort to have a nice dinner.

Yeah, I can totally do without that familia shit; my sister wanted to go out and my dad said not looking like that but she did so anyway, so then he gets on my case and says i should get off my lazy ass and get a job.

All regular news has been suspended, we will stay with this story no matter how long or tedious it is. We apologise for this int'eruption.

volcation

The detours and delays of a regular vacation casused by volcanic ash disrupting your return flight home, or conversely the time you spend at home because you couldn't fly out.

Prague was great, but the volcation took in Germany, Switzerland and France on the drive back!

moronic interrogative

Raising your voice at the end of a statement to turn it into a question as typified by valley girls but has spread for beyond to both sexes and even beyond the US.

Typically used to solicit affirmation to an otherwise dull and pointless story.

y'know, so I was wanting a BMW but i actually got an Audieee

Why does Melissa speak like that, has she had a stroke?

Nah, she just loves the moronic interrogative
