Soap-take

n. When, during soap operas and some sitcoms, a character stares off-screen until the scene ends and commercials begin.

Doctor: Steve, the tests have come back, and... I don't know how to tell you this, but Alan isn't really your son.

Steve: Then whose is it? *Does a soap-take*

take no lip

To refuse to fancy one's interlocutor by not accepting to listen to or be interested in the bullshit protruding from his or her pie-hole.

My boss just walked his ass up the stairs to come and order me to create another dumb ass powerpoint presentation and I informed him that I ain't gonna take no lip today!

Taking a Larry

While driving in the HOV lane on the expressway, peeing into a cup. Most typically occurs when driving at full speed, so pissing tends to be sporadic, as the driver needs to constantly look up to drive.

Person 1: "Dude! Did you see that guy in the car behind us?"
Person 2: "No, why?"
Person 1: "He was taking a Larry!"
