Take a turn about the room

An amusing term which appears so ubiquitously in various film adaptations of Jane Austin novels that it really should enter the public lexicon as a bit of tounge-in-cheek banter mocking the stilted, formal manner of speech common during the Regency period.

Chick: Dude, this party is great and all, but I've been sitting on this couch so long that my leg is falling asleep.
Dude: Shall we take a turn about the room?"

50 facts about women

The list that drove the internet (and feminists by proxy) crazy. When first posted, Urban Dictionary users sent their own "definitions" both agreeing and disagreeing with the 50 Facts About Women. As the users submitted, a significant flame war broke out. Luckily, once Urban Dictionary reformed its moderation and administrative teams, the flames stopped, and peace, for the most part, was restored.

To this day, user IrishRepublicanArmy has attained both fame and notoriety from his defintion "50 Facts about Women."

nothing to post about

The 21st century version of "nothing to write home about". Something that's not worthy of being posted on Facebook, Twitter, or another social network site.

Chris: So what did you think of that burger?
Laura: Meh, nothing to post about.

Matt: So what did you do this weekend.
Andy: I went to a car show, ate some fish, and collected loose change. Nothing to post about
