honk and wave

No matter how badly someone might break your heart, after enough time passes, we still aren't ready to burn that bridge. If you saw them again, you would still be somewhat cordial and polite. Just give an honest honk and wave. Make him/her feel like an ass.
"She really broke my heart in two. If we drove side-by-side on the highway, maybe i could honk and wave." - paraphrased from a Limbeck song.

secondhand sound waves

When you receive music or any other sort of sound that you don't want to hear through means that aren't under your control. Secondhand sound waves are often contracted in stores or other people's cars.

Comfort Waves

Comfort Waves are emitted by men while they are doing something they enjoy, especially around the house, or are generally comfortable. If you're enjoying the lazy Saturday afternoon, you're emitting Comfort Waves. Browsing the internet for no good reason? Yes, you're emitting Comfort Waves!

Only mothers, wives, and girlfriends perceive Comfort Waves. These waves are very annoying to women; they sound like a high-pitched buzzing. Wives will try anything to get these Comfort Waves to stop! Common tactics include: honey-do lists, dinner with the in-laws, window shopping, "just talking".

Womens' ability to perceive comfort waves is diminished if they've recently consumed: wine, chocolate, cake, ice cream.

A proper man-cave blocks Comfort Waves.
Jim: Last Sunday I was watching the Big Game, and as soon as I opened my beer, my wife comes up with this long list of things to do!

John: Gotta watch out for those Comfort Waves!
