'Lineage'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Barry Bonds
Baseball player for the SF Giants, home run hitter. He's news nearly every night in the Bay Area, so that example always worked well when I lived there. And I'll keep using it because I have all the documents scanned and marked up rather than going through the pain of making many, many new slides for some other case.

Hang your head in shame.
If I do that, I might fall asleep.
Around here we have our own stupid sports figures - you may want to choose one of them for those who don't care about out-of-town sports figures (or, like me, can barely tell one from another).
Brace yourself, World! Here comes another Buffista!
Congratulations, vw! As if I ever thought you wouldn't get in.
And congrats on being all moved in, sj! What a relief, huh?
Raq, eeek! Baby rides in trunk, indeed.
ImeN, my back hurts, my job is boring, and I'm falling asleep. So, the usual.
Re: anonymous presentation reviews: I had one that said I shouldn't cross my legs. I was wearing pants and standing up. WTF?
I am having oatmeal for breakfast and therefore I am eating healthy. Please ignore the molten pool of brown sugar. My hand slipped while I was sprinkling.

Did you cross one leg in front of the other and sort of rock? A lot of people do that unconsciously, and it gives the impression of nervousness or insecurity.
I probably did. That was my first conference presentation, so was definitely nervous. I rock them now, of course.

Or maybe it blocked their view of your undoubtedly fabulous shoes?
I think I tend to rock a bit if my feet hurt -- but I think that every group of comments that I've ever had on a class always has at least one person who hated something about it/me and one person that I can't understand what s/he's trying to tell me.
I can usually ignore the outside edges of the comments and pay attention to the good and bad of what most people have to say. Still, "bigot" was a new one and sort of threw me because there's something behind that choice that isn't there for someone who tells me I'm boring or confusing.
Yeah, that's ouchy, even if the person is smoking crack.
Which they are. Barry Bonds may not be the day-to-day story he is in the Bay, but he and his controversies are certainly general knowledge (some present company excepted, of course.)
