HOLLYWOOD - Tom Cruise's chair dancing antics on Oprah Winfrey's chat show have made suchan impact on pop culture that "jumping the couch" has now become a well-used phrase.
The actor became the focus of relentless mockery in May, after jumping on Winfrey's couch and punching the air while yelling about his love for Katie Holmes.
And the moment has now spawned a term, which was recently added to Web site
UrbanDictionary.com.
The definition of the term "jump the couch" reads: "The defining moment when
you know someone has gone off the deep end. Inspired by Tom Cruise's behavior
on Oprah. Sample usage: 'My new boyfriend Benny... jumped the couch and started
rubbing spicy brown mustard on his body at my family reunion."
