An extreme variety of multitasking, othertasking is the act of totally ignoring a present, serious task for another, usually less serious, task. Such behavior is only true othertasking if it is couched in the fiction that both tasks are being worked on.
"I really needed to watch the last half hour of that movie, but I was stuck in class, so I turned on my computer, put my earphones in and othertasked the movie. Way more efficient than just skipping class."
"There is no way I can write this essay and finish this crossword in the next hour... that is, unless I sit in front of my computer with the essay in front of me and othertask the crossword."

An end-of-the-meal amuse bouche. Like an amuse bouche, a derange bouche is not ordered from a menu by patrons but rather served free and according to the chef's selection alone. However, it is served at the end of a large meal, usually long after anyone wants any more food and only because they are delicious - often chocolate or sweets that are practically coercive. The result is a diner happy for a moment but riddled with longer-lasting guilt and discomfort for having overeaten. Often styled as petits fours or mignardises.
Surprisingly the seven course meal was an appropriate amount of food, until that derange bouche put us over the top. Total wasted calories.
That derange bouche was delicious but now I can't fit into my pants!

A type of birth control in which one partner drugs the other with a sleeping pill prior to sex, with the intended effect that such person will fall asleep prior to ejaculation. This method is even less effective than the rhythm method and is not recommended.
"We're out of condoms, but it's no problem... I've got enough ambien for us to use the circadian rhythm method."
"Well, she's not on THE pill, but she's on A pill... circadian rhythm method style."

Delicious guilty-pleasure chips or snacks ( usually made by Frito-Lay/PepsiCo), such as Doritos, Cheetos, Fritos, and Tostitos.
You guys have great guac and hummus and all, but these veggies are just not doing the job. We need some itos!

A late-night accidental nap in a chair or on a sofa, in which immediately upon waking up one goes to bed for the night.
I guess I dozed off into a pre-sleep while watching tv. I was really disoriented when I woke up from that, but then had like seven hours of amazing sleep.

A homosexual couple's counterpart to the housewife. When only one man in a gay couple is a breadwinner, out earning income for the couple, the one that tends to house affairs is a "stay at homo." This term was coined by Howie Chapman in fall 2007.

An adjective or adverb that everyone pretends has a general purpose meaning, but in reality is only ever used to modify one word.
The only thing that can be "unrequited" is love. The only thing you can be "voracious" at is reading. The only thing that anyone is "flamboyantly" is gay. So, "unrequited," "voracious" and "flamboyantly" are all modifakers.
