> After scouring the soft white underbelly of the English language, from bathroom walls to the Internet, the editors of the *Historical Dictionary of American Slang* have chosen "jump the couch" as the Slang of the Year for 2005\. . . .

The phrase is taken from Tom Cruise's celebration of Katie Holmes on Oprah. It means "to exhibit strange or frenetic behavior."
