Viewer's Cut

The opposite of the "Director's Cut" of a film.

Typically this is created by the use of the DVD player's Fast Forward button and Subtitles to blow past the boring parts of a film that some artsy director thought he could force the audience to watch. This duplicates the job that used to be done by a film editor.

That DVD had a run time of 180 minutes but we watched the Viewer's Cut in only 90.

The director thought he was going to make us watch some guy walk down the street for three minutes, but Matt hit the subtitles and fast forwarded into Viewer's Cut mode.

Cheater's Kiss

Film/TV cliche where the cheating spouse always kisses the other on the cheek instead of the lips.

Don Draper kissed his wife on the cheek before he went to work and we all yelled "Cheater's Kiss!" at the TV.

Pontiac Syndrome

An aversion to using vehicle headlights suffered by drivers of General Motors cars.

Sufferers believe that headlights are "uncool" and will activate only the parking lights until stopped by the police.

Why does that car have only its parking lights on at 3 a.m.?

He's got Pontiac Syndrome.

White Man Winter

The opposite of Indian Summer. Winter that is supposed to give way to Spring, but like a broken treaty promise, just stays on.

The Haudenosaunee wanted to plant corn, beans, and squash, but White Man Winter kept the ground frozen until mid-June.

professor pronunciation

The unusual pronunciation of common words by university professors.

My history professor says "Po-land" instead of "Poland." Is it really the land of the Po?

I thought "God" rhymed with "odd" but my professor says "Gah-haw-d" as if it had three syllables.

Dude, that's professor pronunciation; get used to it.
