Nemo

An accidental, loud, and clumsy movement.

Origin: My uncle, who was referred to as "Nemo" would make these sudden and abrupt movements which would usually knock something over. The sound was so loud and startling that everyone nearby would freeze or cringe in great fright.

I'm having dinner at a friendly gathering and reaching for my fork I accidentally knock over someone's drink. Anonymous response from someone at the table: "yo, that was a 'Nemo' right there"...how many 'Nemos' is that for you today?" Pay attention to what you are doing!
