have a cow

A frequent utterance of Bart Simpson, "Don't have a cow" dismisses the other person's feelings as overreactive to the situation. The person who expresses anger, shock, disgust, or any of several other negative feelings towards an action or person is seen as having a cow. The person who induces bovine delivery, either through doing it or telling of the activity, often tries to minimize the activity as something not so bad. Saying don't have a cow minimizes both the activity itself *and* the person's feelings who is having the cow.

Jimmy Joe had a cow when he learned that his best friend, John Jay, had bought a term paper online and passed it off as his own writing.

Billy Ray laughed at Jimmy Joe's shock that he could do such a thing. He sneered, "Don't have a cow, man! Professors never read those papers anyway."

heartumentary

Often seen on PBS and at film festivals, a heartumentary is a documentary with heart. More than a documentary, which chronicles data on a particular person, place, and/or thing, a heartumentary not only informs the audience but gets them actually caring about the person, place, and/or thing.

This weekend, at the local film festival, I saw an excellent heartumentary, "Plagues and Pleasures: The Salton Sea". Watching it made me care about the place and the people and animals who live there. Since The Salton Sea is in danger of extinction, it also makes me want to let others know about it.

don't have a cow

See have a cow. "Don't have a cow" is a trademark expression for the TV series' favorite son, Bart Simpson. Bart is the typical problem child who is always testing the authority figures in his life. In contrast is the good child, Lisa Simpson, who is never a challenge to her elders -- and often fades into the woodwork because of it.

Lisa started to freak out when Bart took the bottle of rum from the cabinet, poured one cup out, then filled the bottle back up with water. Bart socked Lisa in the arm and said, "Don't have a cow!"

low-life

Low-life is a person who has not evolved past the level of primordial ooze in the scheme of things. A low-life is an opportunist and has no guilt over doing rotten or heinous things. If they hurt the innocent or the naive of course a low-life will blame their victim for not being as low-life as they are.

Antwan is a low-life for taking advantage of lonely little teenaged girls.

cube cruising

Similar to cube crawling, but different enough to have a distinct entry. Cube cruising is when a person spends a significant portion of the work day visiting cubes and chit-chatting about any and every thing.

Cube cruisers either have too little work to do, or they simply don't care if their low productivity causes a bottleneck in the office.

Jill began her cube cruising circuit at approximately 8:15 every morning.
