25 Jun, 13:56, 18 x viewed Het Engelse woord voor begrippen/situaties waar geen officieel woord voor bestaat heet 'word fugitives'. Veel ervan staan op www.urbandictionary.com zie hier enkele die mij in ieder geval deden schuddebuiken

Elevision
The act of people in an elevator staring up, uncomfortably, at the numbers as they light up when the car moves. Practiced out of nervousness.
"When the elevator began moving, silence ensued as each person practiced their elevision "

Mexican Standoff
The awkward scenario where one person goes to kiss another on the cheek and the recipient moves for the mouth (or vice versa). This results in a repeated back and forth movement where both parties keep moving to rectify their facial position, creating a kung fu movie visual.
Andre attempted to say goodbye by kissing Lena on the cheek, however, Lena was looking for more, causing quite a Mexican Standoff between the two of them.

Earworm
A song that sticks in your mind, and will not leave no matter how much you try. The best way to get rid of an earworm is to replace it with another. Be prepared to become a jukebox.
worst examples: "Mmmbop" by Hanson, "Toxic" by Britney Spears, "Quit Playin Games With My Heart" by Backstreet Boys, or any damn Hilary Duff song. Best examples: "This Love" Maroon 5, "Hey Ya" Outkast, "Memory" Sugarcult, and any Lauryn Hill song.

Kodak courage
An extra dose of courage and the tendency to go beyond one's usual physical limits when being filmed or photographed (from action sports such as skateboarding, snowboarding, and extreme skiing).
"I was a bit nervous being the first to hit the jump, but when you're with the film crew you get that Kodak courage. "

Testosterphone
(Ver . To make a quick and to-the-point phone call that lasts under 30 seconds.
"Let me testosterphone James, it will only take a minute!"

5 second rule
An unwritten law dictating that if a food or other consumable item is dropped onto the floor, it may be picked up up and eaten within five seconds. The reasoning behind this is that dirt and germs take six seconds to transfer from one surface to another.
"Oops, dropped my popsicle. Five second rule!"
(Proceeds to pick up dirty-ass rocket pop and suck the lint off of it)

Disco nap
sleeping when ya got something goin' later on that you need to get ready for.
"i was about to go to the club, but i needed a disco nap to feel refreshed."

Pre-pull
The act of pulling the car door handle at the moment the driver unlocks the door, rendering the attempt fruitless, and resulting in minor frustration and/or embarrassment.
"Could you unlock it again dude? I pre-pulled."

Unprotected sleep
turning off your alarm clock and immediately going back to sleep; risking not waking up for a job, class, or other daily task.
I'm lucky that i didn't miss my final exam after having 30 minutes of unprotected sleep.

Prewalking
To position oneself on a subway platform such that, when the passenger steps off the train at his destination, he'll be as close as possible to the exit or stairs to his transfer. Used and done often in the nyc subway system.
"Sorry, I can't talk with you while we wait for the train. I've got to prewalk to the end of the platform."

Ringtone DJ
A person who shuffles through all their ringtones, one after another, annoying the people around them. You can yell at them, but they don't stop.
Jordan: Hey, Ringtone DJ, I don't wanna hear your tones. Stop showing off, jackass.
Ringtone DJ: Hey, do you like this one? It's "I Wanna 1-2-1 With You"
