When someone uses the word adamant in a sentence to try sound precise and determined, lower the tone and throw their momentum right off by directing the conversation to 80's legend Adam Ant, of Adam and the Ants.
They: '...so I told her I was adamant that...'
You: 'Hold-up! YOU were Adam Ant, 1980's pop star & all 'round Goodfella?'
They: 'Eh, er, um, wha...?!?'
You: 'You know, Adam Ant. War paint on face? Answers to 'Highwayman'? Swings from chandeliers?'
They: "No, I was just sayin'â¦'
You: 'Are you⦠Adamant about THAT? just sayin''
They: '....'

An ancient Greek proverb noting the momentary lapse between discomfort and comedy, between estranged family members when a camera lens watches over them like the legacy they yearn to create for themselves.
Photographer: 'Say: Family look best in photographs'
Family: '? 0........1........2'
Photographer: (pauses until the family realise no ancient Greek proverb could involve a camera)........CLICK
Family: '........4........5........applause :)'

Married's who just can't help themselves but take their whinging offspring everywhere they go.
Specifically: quiet pubs, cosy restaurants and a plethora of other entirely unsuitable places.
They frequently bore everyone to death with their endless tales about their newborn(s) futile antics, but can't understand why you couldn't give a damn and not inconsequentially, saved up to come here for your anniversary/first date and would like them to leave asap FFS!!!
This transformation afflicts strangers (and former friends), who subsequently become increasingly insufferable, whilst longing for the life you have & hoping to make you suffer for it any way they can.
The absolute truth is that whilst you rock the mic, they're picking sh*t from under their fingernails. Eugh! They call it natural, we know it's nasty.
Bringing a toddler to a pub, is like taking a ghetto blaster to a library.
Damn those Nappy Happy fools!
Having resorted to the word but in any circumstance whatsoever, it must be acknowledged that your failings will close-in like concrete shoes.
He/she: 'I love you, but I still wanna see other people'
She/he: '....'

derived from the desire to 'swear without swearing', from a glorious exchange - with nether party swearing one bit!
in an attempt to imply 'f-off', the rhyme was offered up instead. with great surprise the reply was even better than the joke itself...
(also used: 'would you like to play the russian composer?')
me: 'enter facetious remark here'
other: 'enter doubly facetious retort here'
me: rhymes with "cough"
other: er, "rachmaninoff"?

A phase common amongst more affluent males in their early twenties, which typically requires the exchange of basic hygiene for Bob Marley memorabilia, dreadlocks and second hand military clothing.
Early warning signs include the gradual slurring of speech (as made popular in the movie 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'), endless discussions of aid increases/debt reduction and an overall musky smell.
A Gap Year Anarchist will subscribe to numerous clichés. Behaviour may include voluntary summertime homelessness/squatting, throwing flour & dancing on a Cenotaph.
The phase ends when the GYA finally succumbs to pleas from his/her family and/or bank manager/student loans company/court, gets a haircut, a job and a life!
"And once again a Gap Year Anarchist succeeds in his lifetime's ambition: to get all the attention. Well done. *slow hand clap*"
