Really Awesome Phrase of the Day

The Phrase: "That was like a declawed, pregnant cat on a porch swing idly swatting at a fly on a lazy Sunday afternoon."
Source: How I Met Your Mother, Season 1, Episode 17: "Life Among the Gorillas"
Context: Marshall is learning how to fit in with his douchey coworkers from Barney. This is Barney's response to Marshall's pathetic high-five.
Why is it so awesome: To quote Marshall: "Wow, that was really specific!" It makes me wish I was better at analogies. And maybe high-fives.

I will also treat you to a gallery of high-five awesomeness starring Neil Patrick Harris as Barney:

Really Awesome Phrase of the Day

The Phrase: "Verbally Copulating"
Source: Lost, Season 1, Episode 6
Context: Charlie (played by the adorable Dominic Monaghan) witnesses some really obvious flirting between Kate and Jack and expresses his disgust with the phrase "verbally copulating."
Why is it so awesome: 1. Said by a British man, 2. an intelligent way to say "you're gross".

I'm rewatching season 1 to up my Lost nerdiness, and I realized this scene is even funnier than I remembered. Watch the phrase in action:

Bless whoever posted this great scene.
