Bob Balaban

1.) A diminutive character actor known for playing awkward intellectuals in stylish glasses, especially in the films of indie auteurs such as Christopher Guest, Wes Anderson, etc.

2) The act of placing a dildo into a freezer to chill it, covering it in a butterscotch-flavored condom and slurping away on it like a popsicle while you watch TV, especially after feeling un- or under appreciated by the average American cinema goer.

Steve: You trying to hit the club tonight?

Charles: When the only outlet that understands me is the New Yorker? Fuck that. Ima Bob Balaban tonight.
