shenanigan

1 Zacarias also adds deadpan factoids intoned into microphones — statistics and statements gauged to add depth to the shenanigans.

2 For his newest work, “Hangover,” Psy has complicated his recipe, bringing in another star — Snoop Dogg — and choosing a theme of nearly universal appeal: drunken shenanigans and the morning after.

3 The shenanigans with Mr. Powers, who composed the percussive score, are the least convincing part of “Super Natural.”

4 As in, “Hey, stop these shenanigans. Don’t you see how happy your family is? Knock this off. Be kinder. Be more like them.”

5 Booooo! — joins in the shenanigans on a new "Comedy Bang! Bang!"

6 Children are already losing sleep at alarming rates, and having technology in their bedrooms only increases their awake time and distractibility and allows more time for shenanigans.

7 And while I’m all for narrative experimentation to elicit emotion, especially from long-running series, there’s a thin line between inventiveness and shenanigans.

8 Not that many Sardinians care about not being able to join in the beachside shenanigans of footballers and reality TV stars.

9 Agnes may have to become immersed in make-believe to connect with Tilly, but what she gains through all the shenanigans feels real.

13 Bobby closed his eyes to counter any further Talian shenanigans—he didn’t have to see his position, since it was imprinted in his mind—and tried to block out any other distractions.

14 One of his friends passed away and he wasn’t in the mood for The Bachelorette shenanigans anymore.

15 But the problem is that the compassion he excites in us is inconvenient: it has nowhere to settle as the plot's shenanigans thicken.

16 Almost two centuries later, that omission allows Clinch just the space he needs to imagine something lucrative, repellent and historically believable buried deep beneath all the fraud and accounting shenanigans: slavery.

17 Zarqa panics and posts that she is dating a white brain surgeon, which she is not, and the shenanigans are afoot.

18 Their program, “Summertime Swing,” was an old-fashioned variety show, blending standards with Catskill humor, celebrity impersonations and other vaudevillian shenanigans.

19 “Red Oaks” returns for more mid-1980s shenanigans at a New Jersey country club.

20 It recalls Fellini's La Dolce Vita, in which a statue of Jesus is airlifted over the roofs of Rome before the shenanigans begin.
