New Phrases
Here are some new useless phrases my friends and I have created, since I couldn't be bothered putting something useful about me or anyone here.
1) Fold paper as to make the inside spread
-Do the impossible. eg "I'm going to take over the world!" "And while you're at it, why don't you fold paper as to make the inside spread?"
2) Draw a card
-Said to someone to indicate that he or she is unintelligent.
3) Or Head
-An expression useless in itself, used to make it seem like there are more options eg. "We can do this or head."

1 has origins in origami. In a few particular origami books, the first few steps are extremely simple. Then the reader is expected to work out how to jump from those simple steps straight to the finished product, by "folding paper as to make the inside spread"
2 is known to magic players as a cantrip. This is used to make stupid spells seem more useful, or to justify a spell costing more than it should. A player would use these spells often not for the ability, but to draw a card when his hand is low.
3's origin is unknown. It may be related to the Blackadder II episode, "Head".
