The fake fall in front of a car
Employee: I have been using a wheelie-walker for five months, and I keep being promised a ramp will be installed
Boss: Oh, it's not in this year's budget
Employee: Failing that, I'll be doing a "Slipping Jimmy". I did actually fall a over at home negotiating the bathroom. Can't really sue myself, alas.

A life-sized dummy used in training programs for safety and rescue works.
"Yeah, Randy was one of our former students that didn't make it through the program," he said with a laugh. "We use him for all the different rescue scenarios. If somebody was to get hurt inside the hub, they need to bring Rescue Randy out and bring them to the ground. It's a mockup for rescues."

In Quebec and parts of Eastern Ontario (Canada), a "dep run" means you're headed to the local convenience/corner store, or "depanneur" in French Quebecois
Phone call: - Hey, are you home now?
- I'm out for a dep run, we got no milk. Shouldn't be long.
A zipper merge happens when motorists use both lanes of traffic all the way to a defined merge area, and then alternate in "zipper" fashion into the open lane. By doing it this way, both lanes are used right up until the end, which advocates like New think is a more efficient use of road space.
1st Motorist: "Zipper merging is best for slow heavy traffic. If traffic is light, early merging is fine."
2nd Motorist: "Only problem with zipper merge are the idiots who will not let you merge in front of them so they pull up tight to the car in front of them. They do this even if you try to merge early. I typically will merge at the first available open space."
