thirst person -

The grammatical person, commonly used in status messages on social networking sites, that starts off in the third person (he, she, it) but ends in the first person (I) because ultimately I am writing about myself.

no-motion -

My boss gave me a no-motion as I was promoted to VP but still receiving the same pay!

You lie! -

The classiest way to respond to anyone you disagree with.

Joe Wilson: You lie!

dish envy -

Sudden, intense longing and regret derived from watching a particularly appetizing dish being delivered to a nearby table, and realizing that one has made an inferior menu selection.
