WORD OF THE WEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!!! (July 06, 2009)

The word of the week is: Michael Jacksoned-your-Farrah

Definition: Verb. The act of one-upping someone else so that your news or event is bigger than theirs.

In a scene:
Rick has put in his resignation at work because he's gotten a pretty cool new editorial job for a company that owns websites, magazines, and a TV/film company. But the only people who know this are the two HR employees-- he's relishing his little secret.

Then, at a company farewell party for a woman who has worked at the company over three years, a cake is brought in. The woman gives her farewell speech (very sweet), the cake is opened and on top it says, "Farewell Natalya & Rick!" Everyone stares at Rick.


RICK: Oh hey! Yeah, well, um, I'm quitting and next Friday is my last day. (to Natalya) Sorry, girl, I didn't mean to Michael Jackson-your-Farrah.

I loved this one!

But yeah, if you're doing the job of 7, or however many they made go away...you need your own cake too.
