earvalanche
A large mass of earwax or other ear debris suddenly and unexpectedly falling from the ear

A vegetarian burger with bacon and cheese.
I'll have the hypocrite burger with bacon, please.
hypersookidaemia
Where a person appears more upset, in order to gain sympathy, or have a very low tolerance to pain, stress, etc.
She was suffering a severe case of hypersookidaemia. What a wuss!
zoomout-moment
When you are suddenly exposed to the full complexity or size of something you thought you knew a lot about, but obviously didn't - thus making you feel like an idiot.
I thought I understood the storyline of the TV show, but then Colin exposed me to all the different episode strings, and I had a zoomout-moment at that point.
table stable
a cube farm without the cubes. ie. a room full of tables, one for each employee
Do your programmers live in a cube farm or a table stable
My controller's broken
A lame shifting of blame when you fail at something. Refers to lame excuse commonly heard while playing video games.
Rich: So I hear your girlfriend broke up with you.
Paul: Yeah, but it wasn't my fault - my controller was broken.
