- 摩天大楼广告，網頁直立式廣告 (在網頁右手邊垂直下來的廣告)。 例句： The biggest is the failure of the banner itself. Publishers are finally experimenting with new ad formats. These are already visible at sites such as Forbes.com, which frequently employs what is referred to as the tower or skyscraper ad. (Forbes，「富比世」雜誌) 又稱為 tower ad；這種網頁廣告新趨勢逐漸取代傳統的橫跨在網頁最上端的 banner ad (橫幅廣告)。這種趨勢已被叫做 "beyond the banner"。

- 偷竊灌木、花卉、樹木及其他植物的行為。 例句： But at night, the worries begin as they bed down, hoping that in the morning their beloved azalea or dwarf maple will still be there. More and more often, it is missing. The favoured flower or tree will have become another hapless victim of the Big Apple's latest growth industry shrub-rustling. (The Guardian，衛報) 這個片語是衍生自 cattle rustling (rustle 本身就是「偷家畜」的意思，而 cattle 可以改成其他家畜)；相關的用語還有flower piracy, flower-napping 和 plant-napping。
- 存疑的股票；「證明給我看」才有可能上漲的股票。 例句： "Chief executive Michael MacMillan acknowledged it will take several quarters of ever-improving results to boost the company's sagging share price. 'The market is disappointed with the financial results for the first eight or nine months after the merger,' he said beneath a giant movie screen at the company's new Beach Cinemas complex on Queen St. E. 'We're a show-me stock right now and we have to deliver.'" (The Toronto Star，多倫多星報) show-me 是個形容詞，意為「有證據才相信的」、「需要證明的」； show-me stock 就是指因公司最近營運不良而導致股價下滑，且在該公司出現獲利或有其他利多消息之前不太可能上漲的股票。順便一提的是，美國密蘇里州的別稱叫做 "Show-Me State"。
