jump-the-shark

The beginning of the end. Something is said to have "jumped the shark" when it has reached its peak and begun a downhill slide to mediocrity or oblivion. It's said to have been coined by Jon Hein, who has a web site, jumptheshark.com, and now a book detailing examples, especially as applied to TV shows. It supposedly refers to an episode of the TV show "Happy Days" in which Fonzie jumps over a shark on water skis, which Hein believes was the point at which the series had lost its touch and was beginning to grasp at straws.

A TV show's sure "jump-the-shark" sign: the appearance of a "special guest star".

Clock Shark

A boss or supervisor that constantly watches the clock to ensure that the employee is present at work during office hours. These supervisors care less as to what work is produced by the employee. They are more concerned that the employee is present.

This is mainly applicable to an office environment, particularly one with cubicles. The clock shark will walk around inspecting employee attendance. Their heads are visible over the tops of the cubicles and resembles a shark swimming around the office.

The clock shark themselves typically produce a questionable quantity of work as they spend the majority of their productive hours monitoring the attendance of others.

Employee 1: Hey, you coming to happy hour today? We're going at 4:30

Employee 2: I can't, my boss is a clock shark. He'll be swimming around at about 4 o'clock to see if I'm still keeping my chair warm. I'll see you after 5.

Stage Shark

A “Stage Shark” is a person attending a concert that procrastinates & doesn’t get to the concert on time or early enough to get up by the stage because they are lazy or just not courteous of other concert goers, who have waited for hours in lines to get up front. The “Stage Shark” waits (unintentionally because they are too busy conversing & consuming alcohol & dicking off) until the main act, after they are trash drunk and tries to “swim” or aggressively push their way (like a pack of sharks) to the front of the stage by ANY means necessary including acting like complete douchebags trying to start fights; knocking other men, women & teens out of the way.

Once they start a frenzy they can’t be stopped! Their breath reeks of beer & they tend to be sloppy drunk; falling ALL OVER innocent bystanders other concert goers.

“Stage Sharks” don’t understand that alcohol is a drug because it is legal so they overindulge and tend to run in packs or groups which makes them feel more secure about themselves.

Candy look out! The “Stage Sharks” are out in FULL force tonight & even though I got here early & waited patiently to see my favorite band, one of them knocked me down and several others to get to the front stage! What assholes!

Hey guys, I’m going to see the new rock band in town; better watch out for the “Stage Sharks” who try to ruin everyone’s night...

Look at that “Stage Shark” picking on that girl who’s trying to watch the show! What a loser!

Shark Piss

Shark Piss or "Great White Wine", as the label indicates, is a white wine made in Truro, Nova Scotia. It is usually purchased and consumed by Junior High and or High School students.

Shark Piss is notorious for being inexpensive ($15 Canadian for 1.5 L) and strong (20%). The quality of the wine is so poor that it is often treated like hard liquour and mixed with other less disgusting beverages.

The student was discovered passed out in the baseball field, clutching a bottle of Shark Piss to his chest.

Tired of Colt 45 the wandering vagrant decided to treat himself to Shark Piss.
