i_kenderAnd I even learned some new words today! Which is always good.
snarf - To spray food or drinks due to laughing at the wrong moment.
rimshot - The term is erroneously used to refer to the sting played by the drummer in cabaret shows to accentuate the punchline of a joke. As a result, a particularly obvious laugh line is sometimes called a rimshot.
spit take - A spit-take is a comedic technique in which someone spits a beverage out of his or her mouth when he or she reacts to a statement.

You're welcome.
