genre twist

The "twist ending" that pervades science fiction, horror, mystery, and fantasy writing, television, or film -- basically, anything that might get the label "genre". The classic example is that Bruce Willis was dead the entire time.

Marlene: Hey, did you watch Criminal Minds last week?

Jill: Yeah, but I figured out the genre twist just before they revealed the kid was the killer.

Marlene: I got it before the end of the second commercial break.

cat macro

(Also lolcat.) A picture of a cat doing something seemingly-innocuous, with words photoshopped over the picture. Probably an offshoot of the orly owl.

"I see what you did there", "oh, hi, I upgraded your ram", and "aggressive cat is aggressive/defensive cat is defensive" are three popular cat macros.

farts per million

A measure of the stinkiness of a fart, it refers to how much of the "million" parts of air are replaced by farticles.

A fart with higher fpm is stinkier.

"Aww, dude, did you just break wind?"

"It's okay, it was only a few farts per million. You won't even notice."

viking funeral

An overblown, overpriced funeral for a public figure -- such as a musician, politician, actor, or athlete -- that is vastly disproportionate to how much attention s/he needed to receive.

Peter: "Hey, did you see Paris speaking at the Michael Jackson funeral?"

Stewart: "How could I not? That viking funeral was on every blasted channel!"
