Loch Ness monster

Ouija board
Ouija board: Marketed as a "game" this innocent seeming parlor trick has been known to cause bad things, even if they are only in the mind of the person that suffers. The old saying is: "Call up no more devils than you are able to put back down." Trying to contact the dead or other spirits is frankly stupid, and best left alone.
Medium:
Medium: What the ether was supposed to be until they figured it couldn’t be there and went back to the drawing board.
Scat (as in bear scat or wood ape scat or Bigfoot scat):
Scat: Feces of some animal you are trying to track or hunt. It is also known as "sign:" as in "I saw some deer sign in that clearing over 'cross the creek." If you step in it, it is called "cutting your foot" and means you will be laughed right out of hunting camp!

Theory:
Theory: What you can rely on when practice isn’t working.
Gonna Get Ya:
Gonna Get Ya: Threat uttered by those too weak or too scared to take one on at the moment. Unfortunately, nowadays, they often follow through with a loaded gun...
Road Rage:
Road Rage: An over-exercising of the mouth and the middle fingers temporarily forgetting that one is driving a vehicle and perhaps miscalculating that the guy who is being so annoying also forget to bring his favorite weapon along.
Market crash:
Market crash: Things that have caused my wife's 401K investment package to loose $2,000 so far. So China is devaluing their money. It would affect less Americans if the greed of the 1% hadn't shipped a lot of our jobs over there...
Self-fulfilling Prophecy:
